Buying Off-Plan Property in Mallorca

If you’re looking for a new, modern property that suits you entirely, buying off plan could be the perfect solution. What are off-plan properties and where can they be found in Mallorca?

What is buying off plan?

Buying off plan means purchasing a property while it’s still in the planning or construction stages. You make your decision based on the property’s plans, and as such you buy ‘off plan’. In Mallorca, off-plan properties can take the form of villas, country houses (fincas), or apartments.

Usually, you will be shown computer-generated images of the property, floorplans, and the plot itself. Larger development companies may also create a ‘show home’ version of one of their properties so that potential buyers can get a better idea of style and layout. Off-plan properties are usually modern and inviting, and can offer the opportunity for lucrative investments.

Why buy an off-plan property in Mallorca?

Ready-made, just for you

Off-plan properties have benefits that make them an attractive option, no matter which area of the island you prefer. Once your property is built, it will be ‘move-in ready’, meaning that you can enjoy your new home without worrying about renovations or additional work.

While this is true for any new build, off-plan property developers often allow the buyer to customise the interior design of their new house before it is completed. Aspects of the new property are then made with the buyer in mind, which is a unique benefit to off-plan purchases.

If the off-plan property is part of a bigger development, there may be a variety of property types on offer. This means that, if you’ve fallen in love with the area, you have more choice than you would when buying a traditional property. The availability and variety of properties on offer will vary depending on the size and age of the development. Viewing plans at the earliest stages of the project can help you secure your first plot choice.

Budget-friendly buying

Off-plan properties help developers to manage their budgets, which means they can be flexible on price. Some off-plan properties come with built-in discounts or offer the opportunity to pay in stages.

As with any type of property, these homes come at a wide range of prices. Have a look at our selection of beautiful new developments across Mallorca to find the right off-plan or new property for you.
