In addition to our core services, we offer also “HOME STAGING”, something we would love to talk about with you, especially if you haven’t sold your home yet, even though it is on the market for some time.

“Home Staging” service takes your home to the next level. But let’s start at the beginning.  

To sell a property, it is not enough for it to be beautiful. The staging of the property must be done in such a way that it is able to dazzle the potential buyer and reality.

Data shows that this is increasing the value of your property and is reducing the time it is for sale.

Home staging is a technique that combines interior design and decoration with the aim of transforming any space in a home into a more attractive place that manages to generate an irrepressible desire to buy in the potential buyer.

The aim is always to increase its attractiveness and market value and to achieve a “facelift” of the property and make it look even better.

For example, the creation of a quality photographic report, virtual tours, floor plans and any other material that can be used to convey the new state of the property for sale.

What is the main objective of home staging?

We already know what Home Staging is, now it is time to define its objective. The why of this discipline.

Specifically, it is to sell faster and for a better price. As simple and powerful as that.

The importance of home staging lies exactly in that: improving the time and value of selling and we would be able to do this for you at our cost if you are interested and you see the need of taking the action with Home Staging.

And having your house hanging on the internet or in the window of a real estate agency without being able to sell, it means that it is possibly time to rethink and discuss with us further.

The 5 common questions from our Costa del Sol vendors

Do you want to sell your house? If the answer to that question is yes, perhaps this article will answer many of your questions like many other sellers who list their homes with YourViva.

1. - Necessary documentation In order for YourViva to be able to sell your property, and also to comply with Spanish legislation, we ensure that all owners provide us with the following documentation.

• Title Deed (Escritura) or Nota Simple (dated less than 3 months old).
The title deed, you must have this documentation, if you cannot find it, you can request a copy from your bank or at the notary's office where the sale was signed.
The nota simple can be requested at the land registry office.

2.- Time to confirm the sale

The million-dollar questions are, how long will it take you to sell my house? Will it be sold by next month? Are there a lot of people interested in this area and will it sell quickly?

There is no concrete answer, but we can analyse two main aspects that will formalise a quicker sale.

A) The characteristics of the property itself

• Good condition, size, number of rooms, natural light, features...

• Sought-after location

• Attractive photos that show the best of the property so will gain many points and will attract more attention.

We can say that this is the most important point, if the property is well maintained and has photos showing the best, it will attract more people.

It may be worth investing in renovating and fixing small defects in the house before putting it up for sale. Take a look at this other article on how to add value to your home

B) The price and negotiation
If the asking price for the sale is right and if you are willing to negotiate a little. You have to be willing to compromise a little and be flexible, this also depends on the urgency to sell the property.

With these two issues in consideration, your property can be sold in 1-2 weeks or it can take longer.

3.- What does YourViva do to sell my house?

Thanks to our infrastructure and collaborating companies, YourViva can do much more than other real estate agencies on the Costa del Sol.

At YourViva:

• We help you to value your property and give you a real price for the value of the property based on the current market.

• We take the best pictures of your property and can draw up a floor plan of the property if the seller does not have one.

• We list your property on our website, major national and international real estate portals and it will be shared with other real estate agents on the Costa del Sol.

• It will be sent through email campaigns to our database of buyers and interested parties in the area.

• It will be shared on social media with photos and videos to give it more visibility.

• Additionally, there is an optional package to enhance the images and create a virtual tour.

4.- What is the process of the property viewings?

Once we have potential clients, we inform the vendor of the possibility of taking them to view the property.

• If the owners live in the property, we will adapt to their agenda and we will indicate the date and time of the visit in order to arrange it with the buyers.

• If the owners do not live in the property or live in another town or country, we recommend that you give us a set of keys in order to have more autonomy.

We recommend having the property tidy and clean so that we can show it at its best.

5.- How much is it going to cost me?

Putting your house on sale does not imply any initial payment, only the extra services requested by the seller will be paid. Now, once the property is sold, the corresponding capital gains tax will be paid and, of course, the real estate agent's commission.

1.Plus valia                > Municipal Tax >  calculated on the “land value “ depending on the duration of your ownership.

2.Capital Gain Tax   ( impuestos sobre patrimonio ).
> state tax > calculated on the difference between your buying/selling price  >for none resident
there will be a “retention “ of 3 % of the selling  title deed price to ensure that this
Tax has been paid .

3.Cost of cancelation of any existing debts on the property  ( Mortgage , IBI , community fees & utility bills ).

4.Real estate commission   > normally 5 % plus IVA (21 % in the moment ).
