Selling your property in Fuengirola: how we do it at InRealty

If you’re thinking about selling your property in Fuengirola and want to get the right price without getting lost in Spanish paperwork, we offer a complete service: realistic market valuation, professional local and international marketing, qualified buyer screening, and full legal handling through to completion.

This guide explains how we work, what it costs, and what you should expect along the way.

The selling process step by step

1. Free property valuation: we visit your property and compare with recent comparable sales in your area (not online listings, which are inflated).
2. Custom marketing plan: professional photography, virtual tour where it adds value, expertly written listing copy.
3. Multi-channel exposure: our website, Idealista, Fotocasa, Rightmove (UK), ImmobilienScout24 (DE), Funda (NL), Hemnet (SE), Booking partner network, and social media campaigns.
4. Buyer screening: we filter visits — only qualified buyers with real intent and viable financing reach you.
5. Professional negotiation and arras (deposit) contract drafting.
6. Full legal handling through to the notary signing with all required documents in order.

Fees and conditions

We don’t charge anything upfront. We only invoice when the sale completes at the notary. Our commission is competitive with the local market and always agreed in writing before we start. The initial valuation is free and without obligation.

Documents required to sell

• Property deed (escritura)
• Most recent IBI (council tax) receipt
• Energy efficiency certificate (CEE)
• Certificate of habitability or first occupation licence
• Up-to-date land registry note (we request it)
• Community of owners statutes and arrears certificate
• Mortgage outstanding balance certificate (if applicable)

If you’re missing some of these — no problem. We handle obtaining them as part of the service.

FAQs

How long does it take to sell a property in Fuengirola?

Depends on starting price, area, and condition. Well-priced apartments in popular zones (Los Boliches, La Cala, El Chaparral) sell in 60-120 days. Premium villas can take 4-8 months. Properties priced above market can stay on for much longer — which is why initial valuation matters more than anything else.

What taxes do I pay when selling?

Two main ones: plusvalía municipal (calculated by the town hall, typically €1,500-€3,000 for a typical property) and capital gains tax in IRPF (19-28% on the gain over your purchase price). If you reinvest in primary residence or are over 65, there are exemptions. We calculate everything before you sign deposit.

Can I list with several agencies at once?

You can, but we don’t recommend it. Exclusivity aligns incentives — the agency invests more in marketing and filters buyers better. With multiple agencies, each does the minimum because the incentive is diluted. If you do need urgency, we can discuss a time-bound exclusivity (60-90 days) with clear conditions.

Do you handle properties with mortgages or legal complications?

Yes. Our integrated legal advice is the key advantage: if your property has an outstanding mortgage, unpaid community debts, an inherited property pending registration, or a right of preemption issue, we resolve it before going to market.

Do you work with international sellers who can’t be in Spain?

Yes, very often. With power of attorney to a representative (us, your lawyer, or a gestoría), the whole process can be handled remotely. Common for British, German, Dutch, and Scandinavian sellers who have rented out properties for years and now want to liquidate.
