7 Essential Tips to Help You Sell Your Property Fast on the Costa Blanca

Are you thinking of selling your home in Jávea or the surrounding areas? Whether it’s a holiday home, an investment property or a permanent residence, selling can feel overwhelming — especially in today’s competitive market.

At VíllaMía, we’ve been helping owners sell their properties successfully for almost two decades. Here's our complete guide, combining the most effective tips from our experience, previous blog advice, and current 2025 trends:

  1. Get the price right — from Day 1

    It’s tempting to list your property at a high price “just to see” what happens. But overpricing often leads to limited viewings and reduced offers later. The best strategy is to be realistic and competitive from the start, based on what has actually sold — not just what’s currently listed. We offer free, no-obligation property appraisals, based on real market knowledge and recent comparable sales.

  2. Timing isn’t everything — but Preparation is

    Although spring and autumn are typically popular times for sales, what really matters is launching your property when it’s ready to shine. This means having all documents in order, fresh photos, and your home presented at its best. We’ll advise you on when and how to launch to maximise exposure.

  3. Presentation matters more than you think

    As we've shared in our past blog articles, buyers need to picture themselves living in the space. That means:

    • Clean, neutral spaces
    • Tidy outdoor areas
    • Minimal personal items
    • Good lighting

    Simple things like fresh towels in bathrooms, a well-made bed, and a styled terrace can make all the difference — especially when buyers are coming from abroad and have limited time to view.

  4. If you’re not in a rush, consider letting your property first

    This is especially relevant for owners not living in Spain full-time. If you're not ready to sell immediately, consider letting your property on a long-term or winter basis. It provides an income, keeps the property maintained, and helps cover its running costs. VíllaMía has a strong track record in both rentals and sales, and many of our buyers begin as tenants.

  5. Make sure the paperwork is ready

    Before marketing your home, it's important to have the right documents in place:

    • Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) (mandatory for all sales)
    • Nota simple (land registry summary)
    • Copies of recent IBI (property tax) and basura (refuse tax) payments
    • Up-to-date utility bills and any community fee records

    Having these to hand makes things smoother and avoids delays once you have a buyer.

  6. Be Flexible with Viewings

    Buyers — especially those flying in for a weekend — often want to view quickly. The more flexible and responsive you are, the higher your chances of getting an offer. We’ll coordinate viewings and give feedback afterwards, keeping you informed throughout the process.

  7. Choose a local agent who knows the market

    Selling property in Spain is different to many other countries. Legal processes, buyer expectations, and timelines can vary, so having a local expert makes a huge difference.

At VillaMia:

  • We've been based in Jávea for over 14 years
  • We speak English, Russian and Spanish
  • We promote listings on leading national and international portals
  • We match properties to our large database of clients who are actively looking
  • Whether you're in Spain or abroad, we handle everything from promotion to completion

Michelle Hughes, owner of VillaMia Real Estate SL, says: “In 2024 and 2025, we’re seeing renewed interest in the Costa Blanca North from both British and European buyers. But expectations are higher than ever. People want quality, well-presented homes — and they want the process to be smooth. Sellers who are well-prepared from the beginning are the ones who succeed.

“We have a great sales team under the leadership of Julia Walsh, our Sales Director, who consistently receives five-star Google reviews thanks to her personal service, hard work and attention to detail. Elena Kobets and Emily Wintle are also instrumental members of our sales team, ensuring every client gets the support and communication they need throughout the sales journey.”
