Broker Document Check Mallorca
A common stumbling block in real estate sales is that many sellers are reluctant to provide all the necessary documents from the outset. However, this reluctance can do more harm than good. Without a full and early review of the documentation, unexpected problems can arise just before the sale is completed. Not only can these lead to significant delays, but in some cases they can even jeopardize the entire sales process. It is not uncommon for negotiations to be broken off because important information that should have been available from the outset is only disclosed at a late stage.
This enables us to ensure that the sales process runs smoothly.
That is why we attach great importance to checking all documents thoroughly in advance. In this way, we can ensure that the sales process runs smoothly and protect both sellers and buyers from unpleasant surprises.
Our first steps in marketing your property
Proof of ownership: Before we put your property on the market, we make sure that the proof of ownership is up-to-date and correct. This ensures that there are no ambiguities regarding ownership. The Escritura or Nota Simple is usually used for this.
Identification of the owner: We verify the identity of the owner using official documents such as a passport or identity card. This is an essential step to ensure that the sales process is legally compliant.
Simple land register information: We obtain up-to-date land register information to check the legal status of the property. This document provides us with information about existing mortgages, liens or other encumbrances that need to be clarified before the sale. The nota simple is also used for this purpose.
IBI notice: We check the latest tax assessment notices to ensure that there are no outstanding payments for the property. This protects you and the buyer from unexpected costs.
Certificate from the community of owners: For properties in a community of owners, we obtain a certificate confirming that there are no debts to the community. In this way, we avoid the buyer having to pay such costs later on.
Mortgage documents: If the property is encumbered, we clarify the outstanding mortgage amounts and ensure that the sale goes smoothly. More information on this topic here Mortgages in Mallorca.
Energy efficiency certificate: This certificate has been required by law in Spain since 2013. We make sure that it is available to avoid any fines.
Existing building license or building inspection: It is also very important for the legality of the property to check whether a building license, building inspection or when exactly the property was built (as some municipalities did not issue a building license or building inspection until a certain year, and therefore it may be legal).
Certificate of habitability or Cédula de habitabilidad: often confused, the purpose of this document is to prove that the property is habitable and how many people are allowed to live there, but not to prove legality per se.(Interesting also to know for ETV licenses how many places you can get).
What does this mean for you as a buyer?
If you wish to purchase a property from us, you can be sure that all legal and formal aspects have been thoroughly checked. Our detailed review of the documentation ensures that not only are you buying a property, but that all associated legal obligations and rights are clear and transparent (we still always recommend consulting a solicitor of your choice or recommended by us to be on the safe side, double check).
