Alicante City & Surrounding Area
Sell your property in Alicante directly to a cash buyer
If you've got a flat or house in Alicante you need to sell and you don't want to deal with an estate agency and months of viewings, here's the short version: I buy directly, with my own funds, no listing involved.
Whether it's an inherited flat in the centre, a family home you've outgrown, or a property that's been sitting unsold for too long, I deal with the whole thing directly and in Spanish or English, whichever works for you.
Tell me about your Alicante property
A few details, no obligation. I'll get back to you and we can talk through your situation properly.
Common reasons people come to me
Everyone's situation is different, but a few come up again and again.
You inherited the property and the other heirs live abroad
Formalising an inheritance at the notary, then coordinating NIE numbers and signatures with heirs in different countries, takes real time. Selling to one direct buyer means you're not also trying to line that up with a buyer's own chain.
You're not a Spanish tax resident
Non-resident sales come with extra paperwork, including a percentage of the price withheld at the notary against capital gains tax. It's something I deal with directly as the buyer rather than leaving it to you. Full figures are on the costs page.
It's been sitting with an agency for a year or more
A property that won't move is usually a pricing or exposure problem, not a sign nobody wants it. Selling directly skips the open-ended waiting and the rounds of viewings that go nowhere.
There's a mortgage, or arrears on IBI or community fees
Outstanding balances are normally settled out of the sale proceeds at completion, arranged directly with the notary and the bank. Tell me about it early and it gets planned for properly.
Divorce, relocation, or probate
Sometimes you just need the property dealt with so you can get on with everything else that's going on. A direct sale means fewer people involved and fewer moving parts.
There's a tenant in the property
That doesn't rule anything out. It just means we talk it through early so both of us know where we stand before anything moves forward.
Why sell directly instead of listing it
- ✓It's a direct purchase, not a listing. I'm not an agency and I'm not shopping your property around to other buyers.
- ✓No agency commission coming out of what you walk away with.
- ✓I buy with my own funds, so there's no buyer's mortgage application that can fall through at the last minute.
- ✓One point of contact throughout, not a rotating cast of viewings and agents.
What I won't do
I won't guarantee a price before I've seen the details, and I won't pretend this is regulated financial advice, because it isn't. What I will do is have a straight conversation about your situation and what a direct sale could look like.
Areas I buy in
Alicante city itself, plus the surrounding towns: San Juan, Playa de San Juan, El Campello, Santa Pola, and Elche. If your property is somewhere nearby and not listed here, get in touch anyway.

No obligation. Tell me a bit about the property and your situation and I'll get back to you.
Questions people ask
Are you an estate agent in Alicante?+
No. I buy properties directly with my own money. I'm not an agency, I don't list your home on the open market, and I'm not brokering a sale to someone else. It's a direct purchase between us.
Will you guarantee a price before seeing the property?+
No, and I'd be cautious of anyone who does. What I can do is have an honest conversation, look at the actual details of your property and situation, and put together an offer based on that.
What happens with the 3% retention if I'm not a Spanish resident?+
When a non-resident sells, the buyer withholds a percentage of the price at the notary and pays it to the tax office on your behalf, as an advance against any capital gains tax you might owe. Depending on your numbers, you could owe more afterwards or be due a refund. For the exact figures, see our costs page.
Do you buy in San Juan, Playa de San Juan, El Campello, Santa Pola, and Elche too?+
Yes. I buy in Alicante city and the surrounding towns, including San Juan, Playa de San Juan, El Campello, Santa Pola, and Elche.
The property has a mortgage or unpaid community fees. Can I still sell?+
In most cases, yes. Outstanding balances like a mortgage, unpaid IBI, or community fee debt are typically settled out of the sale proceeds at completion. Just flag it early so it can be planned for.
How is this different from listing with an estate agency?+
It's a direct purchase, not a listing. There's no agency commission, no chain of viewings, and no waiting on a buyer's mortgage application that could fall through. I buy with my own funds, so it's one conversation with one person from start to finish.
