Our latest properties
We sell your property and take care of the entire process, ensuring that everything is completed quickly and smoothly. Contact us to achieve the best possible price for your property.
Selling your property mainly involves three costs:
Municipal Capital Gains Tax: A local tax calculated according to the number of years you have owned the property and its official cadastral value.
Personal Income Tax — IRPF: This is only payable when there is a capital gain, meaning that you sell the property for more than you originally paid for it.
Certificates: The Energy Performance Certificate and Occupancy Certificate are mandatory.
Our team will prepare a personalised cost estimate so that, from day one, you know exactly how much you will receive after all selling expenses have been deducted.
In the Valencian Community, you should budget approximately 12% to 13% of the purchase price. This percentage includes:
Property Transfer Tax — ITP: The standard rate is 9%, as updated in June 2026.
Notary and Land Registry fees: These fees are regulated by law.
Administrative fees: These cover the processing of all the required paperwork on your behalf. Buyers under the age of 35 and large families may qualify for reduced tax rates. Ask us about your circumstances and we will check whether you are eligible.
When a property is priced at its current market value and supported by a strong marketing plan, the average selling time in our area is between three and five months. More exclusive properties may take slightly longer because of their specific buyer profile. Our priority is to make the process as efficient as possible. We carefully screen prospective buyers and arrange viewings only with people who are genuinely interested, so you do not waste your time.
It depends on your lifestyle and long-term plans. In 2026, the Costa Blanca property market remains a very secure safe-haven investment.
Buying: An ideal option if you are looking for stability or a profitable long-term investment, as demand in Altea and Albir remains consistently high.
Renting: Offers greater flexibility if you only intend to stay for a short period. With rental prices currently rising, buying is often the more financially sensible option when you are planning to stay for more than five years.
To ensure that the sale proceeds smoothly and without any last-minute surprises, we will need:
The original title deed for the property
An up-to-date Land Registry extract, known as a Nota Simple
The latest IBI property tax receipt and a certificate confirming that all community fees are up to date
An Energy Performance Certificate
An Occupancy Certificate or Second Occupancy Licence. Do not worry about the paperwork. If you are missing any documents, we will help you obtain them or manage the entire process on your behalf.
Yes. Any foreigner, resident or non-resident, can buy in Spain. You only need an NIE — Foreigner Identification Number — and a Spanish bank account. We guide you through the entire process.
For resale properties, buyers pay ITP — Property Transfer Tax — in the Valencian Community, plus notary, Land Registry and administrative fees. As a general reference, you should allow approximately 10%–13% on top of the purchase price. We provide the exact breakdown before you buy. Confirm the current ITP percentage with your advisor before publishing.
Yes, we work in 14 languages, including Norwegian, English, German, Dutch and Swedish. You will have an agent who speaks your language throughout the entire transaction.
We help arrange financing with Spanish banks. Non-residents can usually access financing of up to 60%–70% of the property value; we assess each case according to your profile.
