Sell or rent out your property using market data
In Montevideo, Costa de Oro and Punta del Este. Make your decision with a clear price reference, a marketing plan and support through closing.
First: understand what it is worth and why
A high price does not protect you if the listing stagnates. A price that is too low is not a strategy either. A valuation should explain the range and what drives it—a price grounded in data, not intuition.
To value a property, we assess:
- location and immediate surroundings;
- type, floor area, bedrooms and layout;
- condition and any necessary work;
- floor, orientation, elevator, parking and amenities, where applicable;
- comparable properties available in the area;
- price per m², rent and yield from the INGAR Index —the data series we publish every month, with a public methodology;
- your objective and actual timeframe.
INGAR Index values reflect asking prices and are presented with their period and methodology. They do not replace a property inspection or a professional appraisal for a specific negotiation. See your neighborhood's data at /datos.

What owners tell us—and how we respond
These are real concerns: they come up daily in conversations with owners and in what people search for on Google.
“I don't know what my property is really worth”
We show you the comparable properties and INGAR Index data behind the price range. A well-supported price can be defended in a negotiation; a hunch cannot.
“If I request a valuation, I'll be tied to an agreement”
A valuation does not commit you to anything. The information is yours: if you later decide to work with us, the terms are discussed separately and put in writing.
“How much will be deducted in the end?”
Before you accept an offer, we prepare a written scenario covering all relevant items: fees, taxes, professional expenses and outstanding debts. The final amount is confirmed by the notary, but it will never come as a surprise.
“Real estate agencies just take photos and post the listing”
That is why we provide clear follow-up: the interest generated, the objections raised and the adjustments made if the market does not respond. If the listing is not moving, you will hear it from us, not from the silence.
“What if it never sells?”
We agree in advance how interest will be measured and when the strategy will be reviewed. If the price or presentation needs adjusting, our recommendation is based on neighborhood data, not pressure.
“If I sell… where will I live next?”
Selling to buy another home is one of the most common situations we help with. The sale and the search can be coordinated in parallel, with timing and terms designed so you are not left without a place to live.
A clear plan, not just a listing
This is how we handle a sale, from the first assessment to closing:
- 1
Assessment and objective
We determine whether selling, renting out or keeping the property makes sense, what price range can be justified and what information is needed before going to market.
- 2
Documentation and preparation
Together, we review the documents available and what your notary needs to verify: title, cadastral parcel, taxes, common expenses, plans and building history, as applicable. We also prioritize improvements that help present the property, without recommending expenses unlikely to be recovered.
- 3
Presentation and listing
We prepare the marketing information and decide where and how to present it. Price, floor area, costs and condition are made clear before arranging viewings.
- 4
Inquiries and viewings
We organize inquiries and viewings with enough information to filter out casual interest. You receive updates on genuine interest and the objections raised in the market.
- 5
Negotiation and closing
We present offers in a comparable format and support the negotiation. Each party's notary checks the documentation and the legal terms of closing.
How much do you keep after selling?
The asking price is not the final net amount. Before accepting an offer, it is worth preparing a scenario that separates, as applicable:
- agreed agency fees and associated taxes;
- ITP and other applicable taxes;
- professional fees and expenses;
- outstanding debts, common expenses or regularizations;
- discharges or costs related to financing;
- the offer's price and currency.
INGAR prepares this preliminary scenario in writing; the final calculation and transaction documents are confirmed with the notary and the relevant authorities. We do not publish universal percentages or a “guaranteed net amount”, because every transaction is different.

If you would rather rent it out
The decision does not end with setting the rent. You need to compare the potential rent with the property's value, define acceptable guarantees, document its condition at handover and decide who manages collections, issues and renewals.
INGAR can help you:
- estimate the rent using current references in your area;
- compare yields with your neighborhood's data in the INGAR Index;
- prepare and show the property;
- assess available rental guarantees with the rental guarantee calculator;
- delegate everything through rental property management —rent collection, rental taxes, adjustments and follow-up.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a charge for the valuation?
INGAR's online estimate is free and carries no obligation. For a specific transaction, we may recommend a visit and a professional appraisal; any additional scope or cost is explained before proceeding.
Does requesting a valuation commit me to anything?
No. The valuation does not bind you to a contract or oblige you to sell through INGAR. The information is yours, whatever you decide. If you later choose to proceed, the terms are discussed and signed separately.
What is the difference between an online estimate and a professional appraisal?
An online estimate uses location, floor area, property type, declared condition and market references to provide a range. A professional appraisal incorporates inspection of the property, its particular features and the purpose of the transaction.
How long does it take to sell a property?
There is no single timeframe. Price, demand in the segment, condition, documentation, presentation and negotiation all play a part. Before listing, we define how interest will be measured and when to review the strategy.
What documents do I need to sell?
It depends on the property and transaction. The starting point is a review of the title and owners' details, cadastral parcel, taxes, common expenses where applicable, plans and building history. The notary confirms the final checklist and legal position.
What taxes and costs apply to the sale?
Depending on the case, ITP, IRPF on the sale, professional fees and outstanding regularizations may apply. The final amount depends on the cadastral value, when you bought and how you sell: that is why we prepare a preliminary written scenario for your case, with the final calculation confirmed by the notary.
Can an inherited property or one in probate be sold?
Yes, but probate must be completed first: until then, the property's transfer deed cannot be executed. We can value the property and prepare the sale in parallel while the notary handles probate, so no marketing time is lost.
Can I sell if I live outside Uruguay?
In many cases, the process can be coordinated remotely, but representation, signatures, powers of attorney and documentation must be reviewed by a notary for the specific case. We regularly work with owners abroad.
Is it better for me to sell or rent out?
The comparison should consider a defensible sale price, net rent, neighborhood yield, expenses, management time and your personal objective. Using the INGAR Index, we prepare both scenarios with your neighborhood's data.
Does INGAR also manage rental properties?
Yes. INGAR has a dedicated rental management service covering rent collection, rental taxes, adjustments and follow-up. The scope and costs are explained on the management page and confirmed in writing.
