Buying Process in Mallorca

The general purchase process is the same as elsewhere in Mallorca. In Santa Ponsa, buyers should pay particular attention to the legal status of villas, pools and extensions and, for investment purchases, to the existing tourist 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 Santa Ponsa

Rental Yields and Tourist Licence

Holiday rental requires a tourist licence (ETV), and new licences are difficult to obtain, so investors look for properties that already hold a transferable licence. We do not offer yield promises: income depends on the property, the season and the licence.

Resale Value Drivers

Location, views, proximity to the sea or the golf course, plot size and the condition of the property are the main factors that affect resale value.

Things to Know Before Buying in Santa Ponsa

• 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.
• Community fees: apartments, townhouses and urbanisations have community costs.
• Running costs: pools, gardens and large plots need regular maintenance.
• Coastal areas: properties close to the sea may be affected by coastal regulations.
• Energy certificate: required for the sale.
