SELLING A PROPERTY IN SPAIN

Sell with certainty.
Move forward with clarity.

From preparing the documentation to settling the final taxes, we coordinate every legal and administrative detail of your property sale.

DISCUSS YOUR SALE

YOUR SALE, FULLY COORDINATED

One trusted point of contact from preparation to completion.

Selling a property in Spain involves more than agreeing a price. Documents must be current, contracts carefully prepared and financial obligations understood before completion.

LightHouse Legals manages the legal and administrative aspects of the transaction, coordinating with buyers, representatives and technical professionals so the sale can proceed efficiently and with complete peace of mind.

BEFORE COMPLETION

Everything prepared before your buyer is ready to sign.

Documents ready for sale

We review the property documentation and, where needed, coordinate essential certificates with qualified architects and technical professionals.

Clear contracts and negotiations

We deal with buyers and their representatives, resolve enquiries and prepare reservation, deposit and private sale contracts that protect your interests.

A coordinated completion

We manage the legal and administrative details through to the Notary, keeping you informed and making sure each requirement is addressed on time.

FROM AGREEMENT TO HANDOVER

Every obligation handled, wherever you are.

Whether you attend in person or sell from abroad, we keep the transaction moving and make sure the practical, legal and financial details are connected.

Notary attendance and translation

We accompany you to the Notary for completion and provide translation of the title deeds and related documentation.

Power of Attorney

If you cannot attend, we can prepare a Power of Attorney in Spain or abroad and complete the sale on your behalf.

Utility and local tax checks

We verify water, electricity, local taxes and other accounts connected to the property so outstanding balances can be addressed before completion.

Sale taxes and compliance

We calculate the taxes arising from the sale, explain your obligations and can manage the relevant submissions and payments within the statutory deadlines.

Mortgage cancellation

Where a mortgage remains on the property, we coordinate its redemption and arrange the formal cancellation of the mortgage registration after completion.

IMPORTANT TAX INFORMATION

Understanding the 3% withholding.

When a non-resident sells a Spanish property, the purchaser is generally required to withhold 3% of the purchase price and pay it to the Spanish tax authorities on account of the seller’s potential capital gains tax liability.

This amount is credited against the seller’s final tax calculation. A separate tax return must also be filed within the applicable statutory deadline after completion.

Tax rules and requirements may change; individual advice should be obtained for each sale.
