Short answer
Sale readiness means title, cadastre, permits, works, certificates, contracts and financial history reconcile and can be provided quickly. Marketing does not compensate for documentary gaps.
Why it matters when investing in Barcelona
Sale preparation begins at acquisition: the future buyer will need clear title, permits, evidenced works and transparent economics. Fixing gaps immediately before completion is usually slower and more expensive. In Barcelona, the same price per square metre can conceal very different planning status, common-element condition, leases and approvals. Every metric therefore needs an address, date, source and list of exclusions.
