Guides to buying property in Mallorca
Buying a villa or finca in Mallorca means buying under Spanish law and paying Balearic taxes. These three guides answer the questions that come before a decision: how the purchase works, what it costs on top of the price, and whether the house can be let to holidaymakers later.
How the purchase works
From the reservation and the checks on land registry and permits through to signing at the notary: the steps of a purchase in Mallorca, in the order they come up.
Purchase costs and taxes
Transfer tax, notary, land registry and the costs that recur every year after the purchase — with the rates currently in force in the Balearic Islands.
Holiday rental licence
Letting to holidaymakers in Mallorca requires a licence, and not every house can get one. What to check before you buy.
