You will need to have on hand the property deed, the energy efficiency certificate, the last paid IBI (SUMA) receipt and, if the property is in a community, the certificate of being up to date with payments to the community of owners.

When selling, you will have to take into account the municipal capital gains tax, the possible capital gain in the personal income tax, and the notary or mortgage cancellation expenses if there is one.

As a non-resident, in addition to the usual expenses, 3% of the sale price will be withheld to cover potential tax obligations.

If the buyer withdraws without a justified reason, they will normally lose the deposit or earnest money they have paid.

If you are the seller and decide not to proceed, you may have to return the deposit in double the amount, depending on what was agreed.

Tourist and holiday rentals. In the Valencian Community, although sometimes used almost interchangeably, there are nuances. Tourist rentals are those managed professionally or with services typical of tourist accommodation, and are usually more regulated. Holiday rentals can be a more generic term for short-term rentals, such as when you rent out your house seasonally. Regarding restrictions, in the Valencian Community you need a tourist license for short-term rentals, and there are municipal regulations that may limit or regulate how many properties can be used for this type of rental. So, in short, you need to pay attention to these licenses and local regulations to comply with the law. Long-term rentals are fully permitted.

After the sale, you will have to sign the deed before a notary, notify the change of ownership in the property registry and settle the corresponding taxes.

Formally accept the inheritance before a notary and transfer ownership of the property to your name (death certificate, certificate of last will, and deed of inheritance adjudication). Then, pay the Inheritance and Gift Tax (ISD) in the Valencian Community. Finally, register the property in your name at the Land Registry.

Once these steps are completed, gather all legal documentation required to prepare the sale.

First, both ex-spouses must agree to sell the property if it is jointly owned (both must sign the listing agreement, deposit contract, and deed of sale). Before selling, settle the marital property regime if the marriage was under community property rules (dissolve joint ownership and divide assets). Once these steps are completed, the property can be placed on the market.

Sign the deed of sale before a notary with the consent of both parties and distribute the proceeds according to the divorce agreement (50/50 under community property, or according to ownership shares under separation of assets). Finally, cancel or settle the mortgage using the funds from the sale.
