Selling your apartment in Casablanca: how to set the right price

The published prices per m² by neighbourhood give an order of magnitude.

These figures are averages of asking prices in listings: the price at which a property actually sells may differ, up or down.

The price of an apartment depends on criteria that the average does not capture: the floor and the lift, orientation and view, the condition of the apartment and of the building, parking, the quality of the common areas, and the exact location within the neighbourhood.

The number of comparable properties for sale, and how quickly they find buyers, show whether the market allows you to be ambitious or calls for a more measured approach.

Documents usually requested from the seller:

• identity document (national ID card – CIN – or passport);
• land title and a recent certificate of ownership issued by the Land Registry (Conservation foncière);
• in a co-owned building, a certificate from the building manager (syndic) confirming that charges are paid;
• the latest water and electricity receipts and the tax notices relating to the property;
• where applicable, a legalised power of attorney if you cannot sign yourself.

The sale is then formalised before a notary, who checks the property’s legal status and informs you of the applicable taxes (including the real estate capital gains tax).

Casa Habitat values your property free of charge, presents it to qualified buyers and supports you all the way to signing.
