Or, start with the main Selling Property in Tenerife guide

Valuations are prepared personally by me, not auto-generated from portal asking prices.

What you get from the valuation

I treat a valuation as a practical decision tool, not a bait number.

In most cases, you receive:

• a realistic sale price range
• a view on likely buyer profile and saleability
• an outline of likely taxes and selling costs
• a probable net return estimate
• clear action points if anything is likely to block or delay a sale

Where it helps, I will also flag issues such as title mismatch, missing documents, tenant complications, or whether a lawyer or power of attorney may be sensible before the property goes to market.

Why Tenerife valuations go wrong

Many online valuations and far too many agent opinions are built on asking prices for properties that may never sell. That is one of the main reasons sellers get misled.

In Spain, and especially in Tenerife, there is no clean public equivalent of the UK Land Registry experience for ordinary sellers casually checking exact comparable sale prices building by building. That creates a transparency gap, and weak agents often fill that gap with portal comparisons and optimism.

If you search online for your property’s value, what you are usually seeing is asking price noise, duplicated listings, stale stock and unrealistic seller expectation. That is useful context, but it is not a valuation on its own.

Official data still matters. Spanish tax guidance is clear that property sales are judged by actual acquisition and transfer values for capital gains purposes, regardless of the separate tax role played by valor de referencia. Official notarial and statistical sources can also help establish wider market direction. But official data alone is not enough. Local judgement still matters, especially in a fragmented market with big differences between one complex and the next.

That is why I combine:

• real active market evidence
• complex and area-level local knowledge
• what buyers are actually responding to now
• and the practical realities that affect whether a property will convert into a sale, not just attention

Tax-safe sense checks matter too

In Spain, pricing is not just about what a buyer may pay. Tax context matters too.

The Catastro’s valor de referencia exists for tax purposes and forms part of the wider fiscal backdrop, while Spanish capital gains calculations still follow acquisition and transfer value rules. That does not mean a valuation should be built around one tax number, but it does mean completely ignoring the fiscal side is sloppy and can create avoidable issues later.

Is it the price or the marketing that stops a property selling?

Most agents tell sellers to drop the price as soon as a property does not move. Sometimes they are right. Often they are only guessing.

The real question is whether the property has been exposed properly, presented properly, and positioned properly before anyone starts hacking at the price.

That is one reason the valuation matters so much. If we know the property is being shown well, placed in the right settings, and getting the right type of attention, then pricing judgements become far more reliable. If the marketing is weak, the price diagnosis is often weak too.

I do use my own channels, including I Love Tenerife and my wider direct audience, where it helps. But I treat those as supporting channels, not the main event. Serious buyers still tend to come through search, portals, direct matching, and controlled presentation, not random Facebook comments.

Open social groups can create visibility, but they can also create noise, cynical commentary and low-quality engagement from people who were never serious buyers in the first place. That is why I prefer controlled reach, not just reach for the sake of it.

Specialist legal and probate valuations

Most owners using this page only need a standard market appraisal for a likely sale. That is the normal service here.

Separately, I am also commissioned for specialist property valuations in UK probate, tax and court-related matters. That is not the same product as a normal seller valuation, but it does support the same broader point, that my valuation work is built on evidence, defensible reasoning and practical market knowledge rather than wishful pricing.

If you need a formal valuation for legal, probate or tax purposes, read Specialist Property Valuations in Tenerife for UK Legal and Financial Professionals.
