From housing dream to Secure ownership in Spain
Buying a home in Spain is for many the realization of a dream. But once the keys are handed over, another part of the journey begins â the one involving documents, taxes, declarations, authorities, and important dates.
It is this part that Swedish Estity wants to make significantly easier.
The dream is simple. Ownership can be more complicated.
Those who own a home in Spain often recognize the situation. Documents in Spanish are stored in different places. Receipts and costs need to be organized. Taxes must be calculated and declared. If you rent out, additional tasks arise â while rules and important dates can change.
For many, the solution is to send documents and information back and forth to various agents. This often solves the task itself but does not always give the homeowner better understanding or overview.
It was precisely this experience that became the starting point for Estity.
From personal frustration to a digital Service
Behind Estity are brothers Jan Neidebro and Jens Johansson, who have themselves owned a home in Spain for over ten years.
They found that the problem was rarely a single task. The difficulty was getting the whole picture: What has been declared? When is the next declaration due? Where are the documents? What does the letter that came in Spanish mean? What costs are associated with the home â and does the rest of the family have access to the information?
The idea was therefore to gather more of the home ownership in one place and at the same time make it possible for the owner to understand and manage more themselves.
In Estity, the homeowner can, among other things, make their Modelo 210 declaration and declare rental income. The information is filled in digitally and the tax is calculated based on the registered information.
But the declaration is only part of the ownership.
The user can gather property information, documents, receipts, income, and costs, keep track of important dates, and share information with family members or other owners.
Spanish documents can also be uploaded for translation and summarization, making it easier to understand what the documents are actually about. If other parts of ownership are needed, it is also possible to apply for a NIE number, order a Nota Simple, and get help with a digital certificate.
