Professional Property Sales & Legal Support with Windmill Group Spain
At Windmill Group Spain, we provide a complete and professional property sales service designed to make selling your property in Spain as smooth, secure, and stress-free as possible.
With extensive experience in the Costa Blanca South, Costa Cálida, and North Coast of Almería property markets, we combine real estate expertise with guidance on the legal and tax aspects involved in the sale process.
Whether you are selling a holiday home, investment property, or permanent residence, our goal is to maximise your property’s exposure, attract qualified buyers, and guide you safely from initial valuation through to completion at the Notary.
Maximum Exposure for Your Property
Your property will benefit from extensive national and international marketing, including:
• Advertising on major international property portals and real estate websites
• Promotion through our own website and social media channels
• Exposure within our network of collaborating estate agents and property brokers
• Direct marketing to active buyers from the UK, Ireland, Belgium, the Netherlands, Scandinavia, Germany, and other European countries
As independent property brokers, we collaborate with a large network of local agents and developers, allowing your property to reach a significantly wider audience than through a single agency alone.
Legal & Notary Support
For your legal peace of mind, you have complete flexibility regarding legal representation during the sale process:
• You may choose to work with our trusted property conveyancing partners, who are experienced, efficient, and offer competitive fixed fees.
• Alternatively, you are free to appoint your own independent solicitor, although this option is often more expensive and costs vary depending on the professional chosen.
Our team will coordinate the entire process together with your legal representative and, when required, accompany you to the Notary for the signing of the Title Deeds.
Important Taxes & Costs When Selling Property in Spain
When selling a property in Spain, owners should be aware of the following taxes and associated costs:
Plusvalía Municipal Tax
This is a local municipal tax based on the increase in the cadastral land value since the property was purchased.
The amount payable depends on:
• The cadastral value of the land
• The number of years of ownership
• The municipality where the property is located
We can help estimate this tax using a copy of your latest SUMA / IBI receipt for most of the municipalities. There are some that require assisting to the Town hall.
Capital Gains Tax (CGT)
Capital Gains Tax applies to the profit obtained from the sale of the property.
For many non-resident EU sellers, the current general tax rate is approximately 19%, although this may vary depending on residency status and personal circumstances.
The taxable gain is generally calculated considering:
• Original purchase price
• Sale price
• Purchase and sale expenses
• Declared improvements or renovation works
Professional tax advice is strongly recommended before proceeding with the sale.
3% Retention Tax for Non-Residents
If you are a non-resident seller, Spanish law requires the buyer to retain 3% of the purchase price and pay it directly to the Spanish Tax Authorities.
This retention acts as an advance payment against possible:
• Capital Gains Tax liabilities
• Outstanding taxes or debts linked to the property
If no additional taxes are due, your legal representative may later reclaim the corresponding amount from the Tax Office.
Energy Efficiency Certificate (EEC)
An Energy Efficiency Certificate is legally required when selling property in Spain.
This certificate must be issued by a qualified technician and includes the official energy rating of the property.
Habitation / Occupancy Certificate
Depending on the property type and region, a valid Habitation Certificate or Occupancy Licence may also be required to complete the sale.
We can assist you in obtaining both certificates efficiently through our trusted technical collaborators.
