7 Tips to sell your property quickly
Selling a house is not as easy as many believe. When selling a house we must take into account certain important aspects to achieve a successful sale. In this post you will find some tips;
1. Carry out the appraisal of the property, the first thing we must update the value of the property seeking professional advice in the area, so we will determine its real value according to the footage, location and general conditions of the house, so we can set a price for sale. We must look for information on the value of similar properties in the same area, to have them as a reference when setting a sale price.
2. Up-to-date documentation, it is very important to have all the property documents up-to-date in order to channel the sale, if we find a buyer and the necessary property documents are not available, the process will be delayed or the sale may even be lost . Potential buyers may request this documentation to obtain information on the state of the property.
- Simple registry note of the property. This document serves to prove the name of the owner together with the types of charges that the property may have (mortgage, conditions...). The Simple Note can be obtained at the Land Registry.
- Property deed or deed of sale: Document where the current owner of the home is cited. It is registered in the Property Registry of the place where the property is located.
- Energy certificate: The energy efficiency certificate is mandatory, both to sell and to rent a property, since 2013. This document serves to indicate the energy rating of the home.
- Valid habitability certificate of the dwelling.
- Certificate of the last annual IBI receipt
- National identity document

We must give priority to repairing aspects of the home that are in poor condition. It is important to consider remodeling bathrooms and kitchens, they tend to be the most attractive spaces for buyers. As well as the trends towards open concept spaces, which offer a feeling of spaciousness and the ability to visualize several environments at the same time, without partitions in between.
5. Cleaning, it is very important to carry out a deep cleaning to prepare the home before the visit with potential buyers, particularly in the bathrooms and kitchen. Also, ventilate the spaces and use resources such as air fresheners or flowers so that the house has a pleasant smell. Order and organization cannot be missing, removing useless items that will help to give a positive, balanced and broader image.
6. Take good pictures, there are no second chances to make a good first impression. Therefore, the images you choose to capture the attention of buyers are essential.
7. Negotiation, you must be a little flexible and have the ability to negotiate if necessary, since the price can go up or down depending on the demand or interest that is shown towards your property. It will always be useful to seek support and professional advice from experts in the area.
