Sell Your Home in Spain for the Maximum Price

How small changes to your Spanish home can get you a big result

At Spanish Homes Online and Dolphin Properties, we sell bucketloads of properties for a fair price every year around La Zenia, Cabo Roig, Playa Flamenca and Villamartin (where these photos are from). 

Clients often ask, “How can I get the most money for my Spanish property?” and the answer is easy. The solution is not trying to find a super-duper estate agent driving a fancy car or, worse still, listing the property with 500 agents. It is much simpler. 

By spending a few thousand euros on your Spanish home, you can increase the value by many times that number. 

Refurbishing and redecorating your Spanish home before selling can significantly enhance its value and make it more attractive to potential buyers. Before we even take clients to your property, we want it to look appealing online, on social media and on the various property portals we use. 

A well-maintained and modern-looking property creates a strong first impression, which is crucial in a competitive real estate market. Remember, the buyer has thousands of properties to choose from on the Costa Blanca, we want them to go for your Spanish property.

Buyers, especially expats, are more likely to be drawn to a home that looks clean, fresh, and move-in-ready rather than one that appears outdated or in need of repairs. Very often, this is a holiday home, and the last thing a buyer wants is to spend the two weeks of their holiday fixing, painting and tiling.  Even small upgrades, such as repainting walls, updating fixtures, fixing minor damages, or improving curb appeal, can make a big difference in how a home is perceived. Not only will it sell for a better price, but it will also sell much more quickly.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These improvements not only increase the asking price but also reduce the likelihood of buyers negotiating for a lower price due to visible flaws. If it costs 3,000 to repair a kitchen, I absolutely guarantee the buyer will ask for a 6,000 discount. 

Additionally, a beautifully presented home helps buyers envision themselves living in the space, making them more emotionally invested in the property. Think about it, I bet that is how you felt when you fell in love with your Spanish property all those years ago. 

 

Bottom line: By investing in refurbishments and redecoration before listing your home, you can increase your chances of selling quickly and at the best possible price.

What if you don't have the money for a refurbishment? 

We have a solution for that too!!

I have attached a few before and after photos showing what we can do for our sellers on a sort of Joint Venture agreement. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Spanish homeowner should consider a joint venture either with us or with a refurbishment company to maximise their property's value and attract more buyers. 

Many homes require upgrades in the bathroom, kitchen and garden to reach their full market potential, but renovations can be costly and time-consuming. If you are already taking a reduction on the price you paid during the Spanish property boom, maybe you are reluctant to spend again. Perhaps you had a squatter or a non-paying tenant, and the last thing you feel like doing is throwing good money after bad. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not only did we deal with the squatters, but we paid the owner, Jane, a great price while getting an incredible deal for our buyer, Jonathan. Why not contact us to see if we can help you to achieve the best possible price for your Spanish home.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At the same time, you will be helping a buyer enjoy a great deal for many years to come. We will deal with non-performing tenants, structural issues, legal issues, disputes, squatters and more.
