Why Puerto Banús?
The market for sellers in Puerto Banús
Puerto Banús properties sell to an international clientele. A well-positioned, newly renovated apartment with marina access can command very high prices. Professional staging and international agents are essential.
As a seller in Puerto Banús, you typically face an international pool of buyers — that is an advantage, as it significantly widens your potential audience beyond the local Spanish market, but it also requires marketing that speaks to foreign buyers.
What is your property worth in Puerto Banús?
The price level in Puerto Banús ranks as one of the most expensive and exclusive a markets compared with the rest of the Costa del Sol. An apartment typically sells in the range of 300,000-700,000 EUR, while a house sits around 450,000-900,000 EUR and a villa from 800,000 EUR and up to several million — but the exact right price naturally depends on condition, location and views.
We recommend getting an independent valuation from a local agent who knows Puerto Banús, as well as comparing with actual completed sales in the area — not just asking prices, which are often set high for negotiation purposes.
How to sell your property in Puerto Banús
Start by gathering the necessary paperwork: the title deed (título de propiedad), the most recent IBI receipts, the energy certificate and documentation of any community fees. Without these in place, a sale cannot be completed at the notary.
Then choose an agent with experience in Puerto Banús and ideally an international network — many buyers come from abroad and find the property via English-language or Scandinavian portals. Good photography and a realistic asking price are crucial for a quick sale.
Taxes and fees when selling in Puerto Banús
As a seller in Andalusia you must pay plusvalía municipal — a local tax based on the increase in the cadastral value of the land since your purchase. In addition, Capital Gains Tax of 19% is paid on the actual profit for EU citizens, and 3% of the sale price is automatically withheld as advance tax if you are a non-resident.
Any gain from the sale may also need to be declared in your home country, but the double taxation treaty between Spain and most countries ensures that you do not pay full tax twice. Always seek advice from an accountant experienced in cross-border taxation before the sale.
Tips for a quick and successful sale in Puerto Banús
Properties in Puerto Banús with spain's most glamorous marina often sell fastest, as it is something many foreign buyers are specifically looking for. Make sure to highlight this in the listing and during viewings.
Consider home staging and professional photography — in a market with many foreign buyers who often decide based on photos alone, it can make a big difference to both the time to sell and the price achieved.
