Thirty years selling homes for owners who live abroad
I’ve worked with every nationality, and with Scandinavians in particular: with those who came to buy and with those who, years later, wanted to sell.
I know what worries you when the property is two thousand kilometres away: who shows it, who signs, which taxes apply and when the money arrives.
- We keep you posted by WhatsApp, phone or email, in your language
- Photos, video and 360 tour so you can see how we present it
- We help you with the NIE, the notary and the taxes
- If you need a lawyer or a consular procedure, I know who to call
How do you sell a property in Spain while living abroad?
You decide from your own country. We’re here on the ground.
You tell me about your property
By WhatsApp, phone or email, or with the online valuation. In your language.
I tell you what it’s worth
Based on what is being paid in its area and what buyers are looking for today.
We get it ready
Professional photography, aerial views, video and 360 tour. I’ll tell you how we organise access.
We show it
On the website, on social media and to my database of buyers. And we keep you updated on how it’s going.
You sign from your own country
With a power of attorney, someone you trust signs for you at the notary (notario) here.
What taxes do non-residents pay when selling property in Spain?
Selling as a non-resident has its own rules. These are the three people ask about most.
The buyer withholds 3%
If you are not tax resident in Spain, the buyer keeps back 3% of the price and pays it to the Spanish Tax Agency (Hacienda) on account of your non-resident income tax (IRNR). You then declare the sale and, if you turn out to owe less, you get the difference back.
Capital gain and plusvalía
The difference between what you paid and what you receive is taxed, and the town hall charges the municipal capital gains tax (plusvalía municipal). We help you work it out before setting a price.
NIE, title deed and energy certificate
You need your NIE, the title deed (escritura), the latest IBI property tax receipt and the energy performance certificate, which is compulsory to sell. If anything is missing, we tell you how to get it from abroad.

Still have a question? Ask me directly.
Do I have to travel to Spain to sell my property? +
Not necessarily. You can sign a power of attorney in your own country or at a Spanish consulate, and someone you trust signs for you. Tell me about your situation and I'll tell you how I'd handle it.
What is the 3% retention when a non-resident sells in Spain? +
If you are not tax resident in Spain, the buyer withholds 3% of the price and pays it to the Spanish Tax Agency (Hacienda) on account of your tax on the capital gain. When you declare the sale, if you turn out to owe less, the difference is refunded to you.
Do I need an NIE to sell property in Spain? +
Yes, the seller must have an NIE. If you can't find it or don't have one, we help you apply for it.
Who shows the property if I'm not there? +
We do. Tell me about your situation and I'll tell you how we organise the keys and the viewings.

Answer eight questions from wherever you are, it'll take you a minute, and I'll give you a price based on what is really being paid in its area.
