+Can I sell my current home and buy a new one at the same time?

Yes, you absolutely can. Many people need to sell their existing property in order to buy their next one. Some are downsizing while others are looking for more space. Typically, you put your property on the market and begin searching for your next home at the same time. Once you find a buyer and have an offer accepted on a new property, your estate agent and lawyer coordinate everything so the sale and purchase happen together. Good communication is essential. We are here to guide you through the process and help things go smoothly from start to finish.

+Do I have to be in Spain to sell my property?

No, you do not. You can grant power of attorney to someone you trust, such as a friend, family member or lawyer, as long as the document is correctly drafted and notarised. They can handle the sale on your behalf. For viewings, we offer a secure key holding service and make sure your property is always locked and left exactly as it was. After every visit, you receive clear feedback so you are always informed. If you would prefer to come to Spain and sign in person, that is absolutely fine too. It is completely up to you.

+Do I need a visa to live in Spain?

If you are from the European Union you do not need a Visa to live and work in Spain. Although, if you spend more than 183 days a year in Spain you would be considered a tax resident. If you are from the UK, America, Australia, South Africa or another country not in the European Union you will need to apply for a visa to live or work in Spain. There are various visas and more information can be found about the type of visa you require on the Spanish government website. And you can also contact the Spanish consulate in your native country to find out more. Visas are applied for in your native country.

+Do photos really matter when selling a home?

Yes, absolutely. Buyers make quick decisions when scrolling through listings, and good quality photos are what make them stop and take notice. Properties with high quality images get more clicks, which usually leads to more viewings. Strong photos help buyers picture themselves living in the home. At Javea Home Finders, we use an in-house professional photographer, so we can schedule shoots when the light is best. Every listing includes a floor plan and video tour to keep buyers engaged and answer many of their initial questions.

+How do I get an NIE number?

It is relatively simple to get an NIE. It requires a visit to the "Foreigners Office" with identification. This can be done in person, or you can grant your representative power of attorney to do this for you. An NIE can also be obtained from a Spanish consulate in your own country.

+How does the buying process work in Javea?

The buying process in Spain is very straight forward and there are 3 main steps.

1. When an offer on a property accepted a reservation is paid by the buyer. This will depend on the price of the property and can range between 3,000 to 10,000 euros. The property is then removed from market for a period of time between 2 to 4 weeks for the buyers lawyer to check the paperwork is all in order. If there are paperwork issues that cannot be resolved, then the reservation is returned to the buyer.

2. If the paperwork is in order, then a formal binding purchase contract is signed and the buyer pays a deposit of 10% (less the reservation previously paid) and a completion date is agreed.

3. A physical visit to the notary office is required by both parties to sign for completion, a power of attorney can be elected if either party cannot attend. This is when the balance of the purchase is paid.

+How long does the selling process take once an offer is accepted?

Once an offer is accepted, the process usually takes between six and eight weeks to complete. If you need to stay in your property a bit longer or want to enjoy one last holiday before handing over the keys, we can often arrange a later completion date that works for both you and the buyer. So there is no need to delay putting your property on the market.

Normally the winter months are more expensive if the weather is a little cooler and heating is required and in the middle of the summer if it is very hot and air-conditioning is used.

+What is one of the biggest mistakes sellers make when pricing their property?

One of the most common mistakes is overpricing. It’s tempting to aim high, but starting too high can end up costing more in the long run. Properties that sit on the market for too long can go stale and raise doubts in buyers’ minds. You may eventually have to reduce the price, sometimes to less than it could have sold for if priced correctly from the start. A realistic and well researched price usually attracts more viewings and leads to better offers.

+Where are the closest international airports to Javea?

Javea is a fantastic location for international flights with the busy airports of Alicante and Valencia around one hour drive. Alicante to the south and Valencia to north with direct flights to most European destinations. For longer haul flights a connection to the main hubs of Barcelona and Madrid may be necessary, but multiply daily flights run between these airports.

+Why are apartments sometimes worth as much as villas?

It comes down to demand and lifestyle. Apartments in prime locations, especially those close to beaches, restaurants and shops, are extremely popular. They offer convenience, security as many are in gated complexes, and low maintenance. Features like sea views, modern facilities, swimming pools and gyms can push apartment prices to match or even exceed those of some villas.
