Sell Property in Maspalomas

Sell property in Maspalomas with a local market estimate

A useful market estimate starts with comparable homes in the same part of the south, not a single average for Gran Canaria. We examine property type, registered and usable floor area, terrace, orientation, access, parking, condition and community charges. Comparables from Meloneras cannot be transferred unchanged to Campo Internacional or Sonnenland because the setting, building stock and buyer expectations differ.

The physical property should also match its records. A current Nota Simple identifies the registered ownership, area and charges, while cadastral information describes the recorded plot and construction. Enclosed terraces, extensions or converted rooms can create discrepancies. These should be identified before marketing so that a buyer's lawyer does not discover them after a reservation has been signed.

One set of facts in English, German and Spanish

The sales file separates interior space, terraces and shared areas instead of combining them in one headline figure. A measured floor plan and a clear room sequence help remote buyers assess the layout before arranging travel. Video can show the approach, outdoor areas and relationship between rooms when it adds information that still photographs cannot convey.

Each language version carries the same verified specifications, conditions and exclusions. Enquiries can then be qualified before a viewing in Maspalomas is scheduled. We coordinate access on site and record the questions that still require an answer from the owner, community administrator or chosen legal adviser.

Documents and seller costs to check early

The initial file normally includes the current Nota Simple, cadastral record, energy certificate and the latest owners' community information where the property forms part of a complex. Existing tenancies, tourist-use arrangements, approved community assessments and known alterations also need to be disclosed when relevant. The exact list depends on the property and its legal status.

A sale may involve municipal capital-gains tax, income tax and a statutory withholding when the seller is not resident in Spain. The amount depends on the owner and transaction, so AFORTUNA ESTATES does not calculate tax liability. A qualified tax adviser or lawyer should confirm the figures before the parties agree dates and net proceeds.

From reservation terms to handover

Once a buyer is ready to proceed, the reservation terms and any contrato de arras should state the property, price, payment, deadlines and consequences of withdrawal. The buyer's checks need enough time to cover title, charges, planning questions and community documents. Legal wording belongs with the independent lawyer instructed for the transaction.

Before the notary appointment, the parties confirm the documents, payment route and possession date. The handover record can list keys, meter readings and items included in the sale. Send the address, property type, floor areas and current use to request the first confidential review for your Maspalomas property.

There is no fixed duration for the process from first valuation to notary signing. The period between the arras contract and completion is agreed by the parties, not set by law; it depends on the documentation available, the buyer's financing and the time their lawyer needs to complete checks. Some deadlines are legally fixed — including the period within which a non-resident buyer must remit the statutory withholding to the Spanish tax authority after signing. Your legal adviser or tax consultant can identify the specific deadlines that apply to your transaction.
