New features and Updates in Estity
Hello,
Estity continues to evolve to make it easier to own and manage a property in Spain. Recently, we have launched several new features and made the platform even clearer and easier to use.
Our development is based on the needs and challenges you face as property owners. Is there something in your ownership that still feels complicated, time-consuming, or should be handled digitally?
Feel free to get in touch and tell us. Your experiences and ideas help us develop Estity in the right direction.
Best regards,
Jens Johansson, Co-founder & CEO
AI has moved into Estity
AI is a powerful tool for reading, translating, and summarizing information. Therefore, you can now use AI directly in Estity to translate documents or get a quick summary of the content.
AI reading on transactions
We have also made it easier to register expenses. Through automatic reading, information from receipts and other documents can be retrieved and used to create expense transactions – quickly, easily, and with less manual input.
Transaction files from Sabadell and Caixabank are read using line reading without AI support.
Understand your spanish documents Easily with AI
Spanish documents can contain words, phrases, and details that are difficult to understand. Therefore, you can now easily translate documents or get an easy-to-understand summary of the most important content directly in Estity.
Upload a PDF, a scanned document, or a photo under Documents and choose Translate with AI or Summarize with AI. The function works in the background, so you can continue using Estity in the meantime.
When the result is ready, you will receive a notification, and the new version is automatically saved next to the original. Simple, easy, and all in one place.
Find the right information with Super search
In the header, there is now a common search field that searches among the documents, receipts, and notes you have saved in Estity.
This makes it easier to quickly find the right information, even as the content on the platform grows over time.
A clearer header and a consolidated Help section
The header for your logged-in property has a new look.
Guides, articles, and news have been gathered under Help, along with the option to leave feedback or contact us.
The change makes it clearer where to find guidance and support when you need help.
Do you need an NIE number?
Under Options in the platform, you can now apply for an NIE number through the Spanish embassy in Stockholm. The service costs 99 euros per person.
The embassy in Stockholm is the first. At the same time, we are working to expand the service so that more of Spain's embassies in other countries can be included.
We help you prepare and fill in the necessary documents. Then you follow a simple step-by-step guide and book your appointment at the embassy.
This way, the application becomes clearer and easier – and you know what needs to be done at each step.
New Guides on property ownership in Spain
Owning a property in Spain involves keeping track of taxes, documents, regulations, and important dates. As part of Estity's knowledge work, we are therefore developing guides on various aspects of property ownership.
The information is summarized in a simple and graphical way to make even complex issues easier to understand. You will find the guides under Help in the platform.
Guides will be available in five languages: Swedish, English, French, German, and Spanish, and will be accessible to our customers.
Updated Terms of use and Privacy policy
We have updated our terms of use and privacy policy to include the optional AI features: translation and summarization of documents, import of bank statements, receipt reading, and the upcoming AI assistant in the platform.
In short, this means that the features are only activated when you choose to use them. To perform the task, we send the content you choose to our AI provider OpenAI. When you use the assistant, your message is sent along with a limited amount of relevant information.
Bank statements are anonymized before being processed. OpenAI does not use this information to train its models.
If we do not yet support your bank's file format, we may save a copy solely to learn how to handle the format and thus improve the function for Estity's users. The information is not shared with anyone else.
AI-generated translations and summaries are created automatically. The quality of the file, use of slang, unusual phrases, and other linguistic variations can affect the result. Therefore, the information cannot be guaranteed to be completely accurate.
Always check the content before saving it or using it as a basis.The assistant does not replace tax advice or legal advice.
You can choose to opt out of the features by not using them or by turning off AI in your profile settings.

Reminder – File your annual property Tax now
You do not have to wait until the end of the year to declare your annual property tax (Imputed Income Tax) - Modelo 210. By doing it now, the declaration is completed in good time, and you avoid the stress in December.
Has the property been rented out during parts of the year? Then you only declare the days the property was privately used or vacant. Other days are reported later in the declaration for rental income.
Be early. Get the declaration done and enjoy the rest of the year with full control over your property ownership.
