Nick did an excellent job helping me sell my house, and from start to finish. He is an excellent listener, patient, helpful and supportive. Nothing is too difficult for him, and he constantly goes the extra mile. He is well connected and very knowledgeable of Granada and the Costa Tropical. He has a kind and open demeanour, which endears him to both buyers and sellers alike, as I witnessed first hand. If you are looking for a first-class and relatively stress-free buying or selling experience, then look no further! Thank you very much, Nick!

One of the best experiences ever with an estate agency! As a retired estate agent myself, I always have high expectations, but Nicholas far surpassed those. The interest and help he showed throughout the protracted, and at times quite difficult, negotiations, went far beyond the normal call of duty. His attention to personal details were exemplary. Thank you Nicholas

Nick is an excellent estate agent - a high level of expertise, reliable, responsive and helpful - just what you need to take you through a challenging process. He has worked with us with two house sales and I don't hesitate to recommend him.

Very professional and helpful estate agents . Highly recommended both to buy and sell property in the area .

We used Nick to sell our house in Alhama de Granada. We cannot fault him. He sold the house for us in 1 DAY! He knows his clients and what they want and as soon as we put our house up with him, he contacted a couple, showed them round and closed the deal! It has been a stressful time for both buyers and owners because as soon as we sold the house and flew over to complete, the State of Alarm began. Nick was professional and helpful, calmed our anxieties and always found solutions to our problems. He was very knowledgable about the processes involved and explained things clearly and carefully. He kept us informed at every stage and was very quick to respond to our many queries. I fully recommend Nick if you want to sell your house. We could not be happier!

How do we market your property?

Costs of selling your property in Spain

There are costs involved in selling a property in Spain. These can be broken down as follows:

Agency fees. These can be discussed when listing a property. We offer highly competitive rates

1. Plusvalia: every seller has to pay a tax based on the incremental value of the land which the property occupies over the amount of years you have owned it.

2. Community fees: make sure your Community Fees are up to date – normally you will have to present a Certificado de Comunidad to the buyer on signing the Escritura. This may cost 15-25 euros.

3. IBI & Utilities: ensure your utility bills are up to date as these will need to be paid up to the date of sale. You will have to provide the original proof of payment at the signing. Sellers have to pay the IBI or Council tax for the whole year they are selling.

4. Mortgage Cancellation Fees: your bank will probably have anywhere from a 0.5% to a 1% cancellation charge on the balance of your outstanding mortgage.

5. Mortgage Cancellation & Registration Fees at the Notary: in addition to point 4, as a seller you will have to ensure your mortgage is cancelled at the Notary and registry. This may cost anywhere from 600 to 1000 euros, and is an amount that will probably be retained by the solicitor to ensure this is done.

6. Non Resident Retention: if you are non-resident in Spain, the buyer of the property will also have to retain 3% of the Escritura sales price to pay directly to the Spanish tax man (Hacienda) on your behalf towards your Capital Gains tax. Fiscal residents do not have any retentions made on them, but they may have to pay tax on the sale in the following year through their returns.
