I've seen you have a service called Added Value, how does it help an owner wanting to sell an old house?
The Added Value program is one of our most distinctive services. Led by our architect Pau Sebastian, who has worked on projects for Zaha Hadid’s studio, it involves a technical study of the home’s true potential.
What do we achieve?
- We help the buyer visualize optimal renovations and allow the owner to market an older property by showing its full potential.
- In many cases, a home that seemed simply “old” is transformed into an attractive investment opportunity in the current Sant Cugat market.
How do you calculate the sale price of an apartment in the Center or Eixample of Sant Cugat?
We don’t use generic estimates. We combine Big Data tools with our 45-year database of real transactions in Sant Cugat. In areas like Centre-Estació, where prices have reached €5,375/sqm, we provide a detailed report including recent sales comparables and a demand analysis to ensure your property’s equity is protected.
I'm looking for a real estate agency in Sant Cugat that is family-run but professional; what sets you apart from the big franchises?
Mainly the care and time we dedicate to each client. We are not a transaction factory; we don’t manage properties in series.
- On-Viure is a family agency where both the founders and our team are directly involved in every operation.
This allows us to offer a much closer and personalized touch. This is likely why 97% of our clients return to us or recommend us.
What services do you offer to ensure that the rental of my home is safe and fast?
We provide comprehensive rental management: from rigorous tenant selection with solvency verification to non-payment insurance. In Sant Cugat, we typically find the ideal tenant within an average of 15 days, handling all paperwork and follow-up throughout the contract so the owner doesn’t have to worry about a thing.
Is it a good time to sell a property in Can Matas or Torreblanca in 2026?
Yes, currently Can Matas and Torreblanca are among the most exclusive and in-demand areas of Sant Cugat del Valles.
Prices range approximately between €5,320/sqm and €5,436/sqm, reflecting the strong interest in these neighborhoods.
- Furthermore, the scarcity of new construction in these premium locations keeps demand high, allowing for very attractive returns on investment.
Can you help me find penthouses with terraces or ground floor apartments with gardens in Parc Central or Volpelleres?
Of course. At On-Viure, we specialize in homes with outdoor spaces.
- Parc Central is highly valued for its large green areas and proximity to schools. In
- Volpelleres, we often work with modern and functional developments.
By managing a selected portfolio, we often have access to penthouses or ground floors with gardens that never even reach the main property portals.
Is your home valuation really free? And what does the report include?
Yes, the valuation is completely free.
We prepare a professional report that includes the property’s cadastral ID, technical description (area, orientation, condition), and an in-depth market study with comparable properties sold in your neighborhood.
We combine this data with our expertise to provide a strategic price recommendation for sale or rent.
You can request it online or visit us at our office at Av. Lluís Companys i Jover 52.
If I buy land or a house to renovate, can your technical team advise me before signing?
Yes, this is actually one of our strengths. With architects on our team, we offer technical advice before purchase.
We analyze key aspects such as building permits, estimated renovation or construction costs, and the potential economic yield of the final project.
Our goal is for you to make an informed decision with all the facts on the table.
Do you also manage the sale or rental of commercial premises in Sant Cugat?
Yes. We have On-Viure Retail, a department exclusively specialized in commercial units and retail spaces.
The commercial market operates differently than residential; we apply specific marketing strategies considering location and foot traffic.
We coordinate the process with experts and technicians to ensure the transaction is safe and the business has the best start.
