Why Buy Property in Puerto Pollensa?

Puerto Pollensa is a coastal town on a sheltered bay in the north of Mallorca, with a long sandy beach, an active marina and the Tramuntana mountains behind it. It has a stable international buyer base and a market that ranges from apartments to large villas. These are the features that matter to a buyer:

  • Established international market: British, German and Scandinavian buyers have been coming for decades, and demand is stable.
  • Limited supply: strict planning rules mean that quality homes near the sea are rare, and good properties move quickly.
  • Year-round town: it is quieter outside summer but services, restaurants and shops remain open throughout the year.
  • Controlled development: there is no high-rise construction, and building restrictions have been kept tight over the years.
  • Rental potential: properties with a good location, sea views, a pool or a valid holiday rental licence can generate strong income in the summer season.

Country Houses and Plots

Properties and plots outside the main residential areas, where planning status and access must be checked.

Buying Process in Mallorca

The general purchase process is the same as elsewhere in Mallorca. In Puerto Pollensa, buyers should pay particular attention to the legal status and licences of villas and, for investment purchases, to the existing holiday rental licence.

Legal Steps

  1. Obtain an NIE (foreigner identification number).
  2. Make an offer and sign the reservation agreement.
  3. Carry out due diligence: ownership, charges, licences and building status.
  4. Sign the private purchase contract and pay the deposit.
  5. Sign the deed in front of a notary and pay the remaining amount.
  6. 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 Puerto Pollensa

Rental Yields and Tourist Licence

Rental income is concentrated in the summer season, and properties with a good location, sea views, a pool or a valid holiday rental licence perform best. Holiday rental requires a tourist licence (ETV), and new licences are difficult to obtain, so check that it exists and is transferable. We do not offer yield promises: income depends on the property, the season and the licence.

Resale Value Drivers

Distance to the beach, sea views, outdoor space, condition and the existence of a tourist licence are the main factors that affect resale value. Limited supply near the sea supports demand.

Things to Know Before Buying in Puerto Pollensa

  • Legal status: make sure that houses, pools and extensions are legal and match the registry.
  • Tourist licence (ETV): check that it exists and that it is transferable.
  • Frontline properties: they command a premium and rarely stay long on the market.
  • Community fees: apartments, penthouses and townhouses with communal pools have community costs.
  • Running costs: pools and gardens on larger plots need regular maintenance.
  • Coastal areas: properties close to the sea may be affected by coastal regulations.
