If you’re planning to sell your cortijo in Granada, the Costa Tropical or the Alpujarra, don’t rush to put it online. There’s one critical step that many sellers skip—and it can cost you thousands.
Before your property hits the market, the legal paperwork must be fully prepared.
That doesn’t mean waiting until a buyer turns up. It means doing the work upfront so you don’t lose serious buyers to unnecessary delays.
Here’s why it matters:
– Many international buyers expect a seamless process. They don’t understand the quirks of Spanish bureaucracy—and they’re nervous.
– If your paperwork isn’t ready, you risk weeks of delays. Most serious buyers will simply walk away.
– Worse, if they do a property search and find unresolved issues, they’ll assume the worst—even if it’s just a missing certificate.
At Hola Properties, we help sellers avoid this trap. We work closely with legal partners to check everything from:
– Title deeds
– Land registry
– Energy certificates
– First occupation licences (where needed)
– Cadastral boundaries
It’s a simple process—but it needs doing right.
