20 years helping property owners in Barcelona.

A reliable value never comes from AI. My valuation combines three analyses:

1. On-site visit: the property, its outdoor spaces, the building and the shared areas.
2. Real sales: actual prices from the Spanish Notaries' database and the latest sales closed in your area.
3. Market competition: a selection of similar properties for sale, analysed one by one, to position your future listing well against competing listings.

The criteria that change a property's value:

• Location: the neighbourhood, the street and the surroundings.
• Size and layout: the square metres, but also how well they are used.
• Outdoor space: terrace, balcony or garden, depending on size and quality.
• Floor and lift: a high floor with a lift is clearly worth more.
• Condition: renovated, needing an update, or needing full renovation.
• Light, orientation and views.
• Building: its condition, the owners' association and its fees.

Each criterion is weighted. The result: a tailored, well-argued valuation report.

In Spain, agency fees are usually between 2% and 5% (*) of the sale price. The percentage depends on the property's value and the services you choose.

Every sale is different, so I make you a personal proposal, fully transparent from the start.

(*) Spanish VAT of 21% not included.

When selling, the owner usually pays:

• The plusvalía municipal, a local council tax on the increase in land value.
• Capital gains tax, if you sell for more than you paid. If you are not a Spanish resident, the buyer withholds 3% of the price as an advance payment of this tax.
• Mortgage cancellation, if you still have a loan outstanding.

Before your property goes on the market, I give you an estimate of what you will receive net.

For guidance only. Each case should be checked with a tax adviser.

In Catalonia, at a minimum:

• Energy performance certificate: required as soon as the listing is published.
• Cédula de habitabilidad (certificate of occupancy): required at signing, with some exceptions.
• Asbestos-free certificate: if the building dates from before 2002.

Depending on your case, other documents may be needed. I review your situation from the start and take care of them, so you arrive at the notary with no surprises.

We set the timeframe together, when we define the sales strategy.

• If you need to sell fast: a price in line with the market and a good presentation attract serious buyers within a few weeks.
• If you are not in a hurry: we can take more time, but it is a risky strategy. We know today's market, not the market in a few months, and it can get worse.

Once the deposit contract (arras) is signed, the notary signing (escritura) usually follows within two to three months, as agreed. If the buyer does not need a mortgage, two to three weeks can be enough, as long as all the legal documents are ready.

Yes, and you can even start the process today, without coming to Spain. I take care of everything, from the valuation to the deed at the notary, and keep you informed at every step in English, French or Spanish.

With a notarial power of attorney, you can sell without being present on the day the deed (escritura) is signed.

There is almost always a clear reason: a price above the market, a poor presentation or not enough visibility.

I suggest a relaunch in three steps:

1. Diagnosis: I take a critical look at your listing, the viewings and the enquiries you have had, find what is holding the sale back, and give you my honest opinion.
2. Market value: I compare your current asking price with the real market value and check whether there is a gap between the two.
3. New strategy: I rebuild the listing completely (price, photos, video and text), publish it on as many portals as possible, and present your property to other agents in the iad network and in Barcelona who may already have the buyer.

A well-executed relaunch always brings the first offers.
