La casa no es el problema.Lo difícil, casi siempre, es la familia.
Some houses do not sell because they are worth nothing. And some houses —many more— do not sell because they are tied up: to an unsigned inheritance, a half-finished divorce, a tenant inside, a sibling who does not reply. The house is fine. What is wrong is the situation.

The good news: almost all these blockages have a way out. Not magical or instant, but orderly. The usual mistake is not having the problem —nobody chooses that—, it is leaving it standing still in the hope it will sort itself out. Time does not unblock: it piles up. More heirs, more expired papers, more pending conversations.
The blockages we see every week
The inheritance between siblings. Four names on a deed and no decision. One wants to sell, another to keep it, two are not speaking. The house stands still; the family does not. How it is organised —acceptance, allocation, sale— is in selling an inherited house between siblings.
The heir who will not sign. Everyone agrees except one, or one who simply does not reply. Their silence does not have to block the others: there would be legal ways out, with documented steps. We explain them in what to do when an heir will not sign.
The divorce with the house half-settled. La sentencia ya está; la vivienda sigue atando a dos personas que decidieron separarse. Vender y repartir no deberían ir por separado: divorcio: vender la casa y repartir.
The flat with a tenant inside. It can be sold — but there are notices and deadlines that protect both parties, and skipping them could leave the sale hanging months after signing. We explain them in selling a flat with a tenant.
Selling and staying in your home. Bare ownership is real and legal — and it is also where most bad deals are signed, because whoever offers it usually works for the buyer. What it is, what it is not and how it differs from a reverse mortgage: bare ownership.
And if the inherited home is the country house —the one in Coín, in Álora, in Almogía—, the planning blockage is added to the family one. That double case has its own page in the rural cluster: selling an inherited country house.
What these situations have in common
None is fixed by "putting the house on a property portal". In all of them there is an order: first know exactly what there is —who owns what, what is signed and what is not, which deadlines are running—, then decide, then sign. Skipping the diagnosis is what turns a blockage of months into one of years.
And none is fixed by a single professional. You need someone for the legal side, someone to handle the paperwork and someone who knows how to sell — and, above all, someone who answers for the whole and does not take sides. That is our job: to deliver a verified file on the house and the transaction —what has been checked, who signs it and who answers if it fails— and to manage it from start to finish. Whoever vouches does not sell: what we tell you about your situation does not depend on the transaction closing.
Frequently asked questions
Can a house be sold with the inheritance unfinished?
In general, the acceptance and allocation of the inheritance would have to be completed first — although in many cases both could be prepared to be resolved almost at the same time. It depends on each case, and that is checked at the start, not at the end.
There are several of us and we cannot agree. Is everything stuck?
Not necessarily. No full agreement does not mean no way forward: there would be ways to organise the situation, and most disagreements rest on different assumptions, not on facts. A shared diagnosis usually moves more than another argument.
Where do you start in any of these cases?
By knowing what there is: ownership, charges, the state of the inheritance or the agreement, the tenancy contract if there is one. With that in front of you, the options stop being opinions. Without it, every step is taken blind.
What if my case mixes several blockages at once?
That is normal, not the exception: inheritance plus tenant, divorce plus mortgage. The order of the steps changes with the mix — which is precisely why the first step is always the diagnosis, not the signature.
