A typical timeline
- Week 0 — Valuation. Site visit, comparable analysis, written market range — usually within 24 hours, often faster.
- Week 1 — Preparation. Photography, drone, walkthrough video, paperwork audit, energy certificate ordered if needed.
- Week 2 — Go live. Listing published on Idealista, Thinkspain, Rightmove, MiMove and Pisos. Paid social campaigns activated.
- Weeks 3–8 — Viewings and offers. Realistically priced properties in our core areas usually receive a serious offer in this window.
- Weeks 8–10 — Reservation contract. 10% deposit, lawyers coordinate due diligence.
- Weeks 10–16 — Notary and completion. Final payment, key handover, 3% retention applied, Plusvalía filed.
What can speed it up
Honest pricing from day one, full paperwork ready before listing, fast replies on offers, and pre-coordinated power of attorney if you're selling from abroad. We handle the last three for you.
What can slow it down
Inflated pricing (forces reductions and resets buyer interest), missing CEE or occupation licence, NIE expired, mortgage cancellation paperwork outstanding, or buyer financing falling through.
