Sell house

Assign a correct value

Allocating a higher price in the hope that a potential buyer will agree on that price is a mistake as it may not obtain visit requests or offers. What's more, if you advertise a property on a very high value selling site, it may not even appear listed when using certain search value filters. There is also the reverse of the coin. If you advertise a lower value than the appropriate value for your property, you will obviously lose money selling the house.

As you see, it is difficult to conclude what is the ideal value of a property. It should be followed by the current real estate market and buyer ratings. The most accurate way to calculate the appropriate value to put on the market is to compare prices of similar homes in the same area.

Place quality photos in the ad

Presenting quality photographs is a key point in attracting potential buyers and selling the home quickly. Ads with well-defined photo and proper view of space sell much faster.

Make improvements

It is always necessary to make some arrangements, improvements or even remodeling, depending on the state of the property as it must be in good condition to sell the house. Defects can slow down the selling process. Sometimes it is not necessary to invest a lot and some small arrangements can change the appearance of the property. In addition, a one bedroom remodeling can greatly enhance the home. The most important divisions are kitchens, bathrooms and fitted wardrobes.

Prepare the property for visits

You should consider some aspects and prepare the property to receive visits from potential buyers:

• Leave some furniture to give an idea of the size of the rooms;
• Keep the house clean and tidy;
• Remove your personal effects;
• If you have asked a real estate agent for help, let the real estate consultant make the visit because he will be able to answer all the questions raised by buyers.

You are advised to use a specialist real estate or real estate consultant.

It is always an asset to use a real estate agent or consultant to sell the property. There is the thought that selling the house alone will earn you more as you will not have to pay a real estate commission. This usually doesn't happen because your consultant / agent can sell the house quickly and at a good value. They will be responsible for obtaining quality photographs, reporting on visits, indicating market values and supporting all documentation. In addition, it has marketing and customer portfolio techniques and actions.

Necessary documents

It is recommended that you have all these documents available for the process of selling the house, although they are only required at the time of writing:

• Identification of sellers: photocopies of the Citizen Card or Certificate of Business Registration of the company (if the owner is a company); 
• Permanent Land Registry Certificate: issued by the Land Registry Office of the area where the property is located;  
• Land Registry: issued by the Tax Office of the area where the property is located;  
• Use License: issued by the City Council the License of Use License, also called Habitability License and the License of Construction License if it is still under construction;     
• Deed: photocopy of the previous deed issued by the Notarial Office where the deed was made; 
• Property Plan: including collections, garages or attachments and Location Plan, issued by the company that built or City Council; 
• Energy Certificate: issued by a Qualified Expert in their order for Energy Certification and Indoor Air Quality of Buildings.
