If you’re thinking about selling your property in Mallorca, one of the first questions to ask is ‘How much is my property worth?’ To answer that question, it is extremely important to receive a fair property valuation from trustworthy experts in order to price your property according to its market value. Selling your real estate at the right price will ensure a smoother sale and set you apart from property speculators.

Balearic Properties will help you if you need a property valuation in Mallorca.



How much is my property worth and do I really need a property valuation?

Sometimes when you look at real estate listings, it’s impossible to believe those properties are worth those prices. Those listings obviously skipped the essential property valuation stage. Whereas many owners have a high regard towards their home and decide to sell their property at their chosen price, the fact remains that only professional real estate experts can determine a property’s true value. Everything must be taken into consideration, according to market value.

1. An accurate property valuation can sell your real estate faster

Pinpointing the objective value of your property is what will avoid stress and disappointment when it comes to selling your home. A property valuation is more than just a number, it is an official document outlining all your property’s details, which determine market prices and real estate demand in Mallorca. As the seller, you set the price. However, pricing your property right can speed up the sales process, especially when your property is one of the best deals in the market.

2. A property valuation will save you time and money

There’s nothing more frustrating than having your property for sale longer than expected. This can lead to financial strains, delaying your plans and eventually resulting in demotivating price reductions. On the other hand, if you request a property valuation in advance, you will avoid pricing your property too high, or too low, and you will also anticipate potential buyers’ needs when purchasing property with the help of a mortgage.

3. Property appraisals are required by banks for buyers looking to buy real estate with a mortgage

Property appraisals are also necessary for buyers looking to buy property in Mallorca with a mortgage. In fact, most banks will ask for an official property valuation before even confirming a home loan application. To speed up the process for all parties involved, it’s always good to have an appraisal ready when dealing with serious buyers. Cash buyers will also want to know what the property is worth according to market value, and it’s always reassuring to have a bonafide answer.

4. Determining the value of your property can help with decision making

Once you have found out the market value of your property, you may find yourself at a crossroad. If your property valuation is less than you expected, you may decide to wait for another year or two until real estate prices rise. Our professional property experts can also advise you on certain property alterations to increase the value of your real estate. Perhaps a small renovation, or the addition of a swimming pool will increase your property’s asking price to what you expected.

Things taken into consideration when making a property valuation

  • Location (region, municipality, neighbourhood)
  • Orientation (cardinal direction, views, natural lighting)
  • Age and condition of the property (reformed/unconverted, materials, square footage, layout)
  • Features and valuable amenities (garden, pool, parking, lift, proximity to points of interest, etc.)

What if my property valuation is higher than expected?

In some cases, you may find that your property is worth more than you anticipated. Hence, you may want to sell your home without furniture, keeping your most valuable works of art and antiques. Your property valuation might also make you reconsider selling your property at all, keeping it as a holiday home instead, until it is time to retire. After all, Mallorca is one the best islands in the world for retirement. Whatever you decide, we can help you find a profitable solution.

Renting out your property as a holiday home while you wait

While you’re waiting for your property in Mallorca to sell, you may consider renting your home as short-term holiday accommodation with Balearic Villas. Renting out your home while you wait for the sale to go through is an excellent way to create passive income, especially if you plan to be abroad during the sale. Renting your property as a holiday home can help cover your property expenses, including taxes, property management and even mortgage costs.
