Buying Process in Mallorca
The general purchase process is the same as elsewhere in Mallorca. In Illetas, buyers should pay particular attention to coastal regulations, the legal status of villas, pools and extensions, and community rules for apartments.
Legal Steps
- Obtain an NIE (foreigner identification number).
- Make an offer and sign the reservation agreement.
- Carry out due diligence: ownership, charges, licences and building status.
- Sign the private purchase contract and pay the deposit.
- Sign the deed in front of a notary and pay the remaining amount.
- Register the property in the Land Registry.
Taxes and Fees
Buyers must budget for transfer tax (ITP) on resale properties, or VAT and stamp duty (AJD) on new builds, plus notary, registry and legal fees. Rates and thresholds change, so confirm the current figures with your lawyer before making an offer.
Financing
Non-resident buyers can apply for a mortgage in Spain. Banks usually finance a lower percentage than for residents, so check the conditions before signing the reservation agreement.
Timeline
The time between the reservation agreement and the deed depends on the documentation and the financing, and is normally a matter of weeks to a few months.
Investment Potential in Illetas
Rental Yields and Tourist Licence
Holiday rental requires a tourist licence (ETV), and rules depend on the property and the area, so check them before buying. New licences are difficult to obtain. We do not offer yield promises: income depends on the property, the season and the licence.
Resale Value Drivers
Sea views, distance to the beach, terraces, privacy and the condition of the property are the main factors that affect resale value.
Things to Know Before Buying in Illetas
- Coastal areas: properties close to the sea may be affected by coastal regulations.
- Legal status: make sure that houses, pools and extensions are legal and match the registry.
- Community fees: apartments and complexes have community costs.
- Tourist licence (ETV): check that it exists and that it is transferable.
- Running costs: pools and gardens on larger plots need regular maintenance.
