When facing the sales process, one of the things that slows it down is not having the necessary documentation. Here, we address the essential documents for selling an apartment.

Selling a property involves a series of responsibilities and requires specific documents for the sale of an apartment or any other type of residential property. Following our article on how to price your home, we’re now discussing an equally important topic to have everything ready for the sale. There are nine documents you need to sell your apartment:

• Identity Document (DNI): You must have your DNI in good standing, as it will represent you in all the paperwork.
• Property Deed: This is proof that you are the owner of the home, which gives you the right to sell it.
• Energy Performance Certificate: Mandatory since 2013 for the sale of residential properties. This document provides information on the home’s energy efficiency and is necessary for both sale and rental. You can get more information on this certificate here.
• Certificate of Occupancy: Another of the necessary documents for selling an apartment. It guarantees that the home is habitable according to technical and hygienic-sanitary requirements.
• Building Technical Inspection Certificate: Documents the habitability status of the building where the home is located.
• Real Estate Tax (IBI): It is necessary to prove that the Real Estate Tax is up to date. This tax is paid annually, and the buyer will assume the next bill after the sale.
• Homeowners’ Association Certificate: To prove that you are up to date with the payment of community fees. This document is only necessary for the sale of an apartment that has neighbors.
• Certificate of Outstanding Debt and Registry Cancellation: If the property is mortgaged, you will need a certificate showing the outstanding amount due at the time of the sale.
• Property Registry Simple Note: This document provides detailed information about the property, including ownership, location, and any potential mortgage liens.

All these documents are necessary for selling an apartment; however, in some situations, some documents may not be required due to conditions of the home or the city you are in.
