SELLING YOUR PROPERTY IN SPAIN AS A FOREIGNER? READ THIS FIRST‼️
🤔Thinking about selling your Spanish home but not sure where to start?
🆘 Don't worry! Here are 5 essentials you should know :
1. Get your NIE ready 🪪
Your Spanish Foreigner Identification Number (NIE) is essential for handling the sale and related tax procedures.
2. Prepare your paperwork 📑
You'll generally need:
- Property title deed (Escritura)
- Valid Energy Performance Certificate
- Latest IBI and garbage tax receipt
- Owners' Community information
3. Understand the taxes 💶
You may need to pay:
- Capital Gains Tax
- Plusvalía Municipal (local tax on the increase in urban land value)
4. Know about the 3% retention! 🫰
If you're a non-tax-resident in Spain, the buyer has to withhold 3% of the agreed sale price and pay it to the Spanish Tax Agency on your behalf. This is an advance payment towards your tax bill, not necessarily your final tax.
5. Work with the right professionals 🤝
A good real estate agent can make the process much easier and help you avoid costly surprises.
