Frequently Asked Questions about Inheritances

Can an inherited house be sold? When?

The answer is YES, but not immediately. Before putting the house up for sale, several legal and fiscal steps must be completed:

Accept the Inheritance

All heirs must sign the acceptance deed before a notary. If there is a will, it is attached; if not, a declaration of heirs is made.

Liquidate the Inheritance Tax

Each heir must liquidate this tax according to their percentage. The amount varies according to the autonomous community and the degree of kinship.

Register the Property

Once the tax is paid, the home is registered in the Property Registry in the name of the new owners. Only then can it be sold legally.

Senda Hogar accompanies you: Our legal department coordinates all these procedures so you don't have to worry about anything.

How much is the inherited home really worth?

Here it is common to get confused:

What real estate portals say does not always reflect the real market value
What you think it is worth may be above (or below) what buyers pay
An erroneous valuation can mean the house is months without selling or that you undersell

Our solution: AI & Big Data Valuation. We analyze the market in real time with artificial intelligence to give you the exact price that maximizes your sale.

And if you are several heirs? And if you don't agree?

This is one of the most delicate points. When there is more than one heir, the sale can only be carried out if everyone agrees.

The most common situations:

Everyone wants to sell: The process is simple. Price and conditions are decided and the sale is formalized
One wants to stay with the house: They can buy the part of the rest through extinction of joint ownership
There is no agreement: Mediation is needed. If it is not possible, the judicial route can be used (costly and slow)

Senda Hogar as an impartial mediator: We facilitate conversations, provide objective market data and seek consensual exits that benefit everyone.

What taxes have to be paid when inheriting... and when selling?

Inheritance Tax

Paid when inheriting. Depends on the value of the property, your relationship with the deceased and the regional regulations.

Municipal Capital Gains

Paid to the city council when the home changes owners. It is calculated by the increase in land value.

IRPF (when selling)

The Tax Office considers the capital gain between the inheritance value and the sale value. It is declared in the Income Tax.
