“We bought a flat directly from the seller in Madrid and the earnest money contract was ready much sooner than expected. Seeing everything organised with legal backing gave us peace of mind.”

Real experiences
Real cases from buyers and sellers
“We sold our flat without paying commission to third parties and handled almost everything online. What we valued most was not having to coordinate calls and documents across different channels.”
Fernando

“We used Firma Vivienda with the launch promotion and the savings versus a traditional estate agency were huge. The platform let us stay in control without feeling left alone.”

Key steps in a private property sale
A clear (and realistic) outline for Spain: from the initial agreement to post-sale procedures.
1
Agree on price, deadlines and conditions
Define the essentials: price, dates, what's included, and what happens if either party defaults.
2
Lawyer-reviewed earnest money contract
Generate a professional contract tailored to your transaction, reviewed by lawyers, with all documentation centralised (DNI/NIE, Nota Simple, etc.).
3
Electronic signature and earnest money transfer
Buyer and seller sign the contract digitally. The app displays the bank details so the buyer can transfer the earnest money.
4
Appraisers, mortgages and notaries
Find nearby appraisers, compare mortgage offers and locate notaries to arrange the deed signing.
5
Confirmation and utility transfers
After signing at the notary, manage the ownership transfer of electricity, water and gas directly from the platform.

Frequently asked questions
Common queries about private property sales (contract, documentation and utilities).
Is a private property sale between individuals legal?
Yes. It is common practice. The key is to correctly document each stage (especially the earnest money contract), organise the documentation and meet deadlines.
What documentation is usually required?
It depends on the case, but typically: DNI/NIE of the parties and Nota Simple. In subsequent procedures (such as utilities), meter readings and new owner documentation may be required.
Does Firma Vivienda replace a notary or legal advice?
No. Firma Vivienda is a platform for generating and organising documentation and guiding the process. The deed is signed before a notary and, if your case requires it, specialised legal advice may be recommended.
Can I see the earnest money contract and utility transfers in detail?
Yes. There is a specific landing page for the online earnest money contract and another for utility transfers.
