Price by Property Type

Price levels depend on the village, the plot and the condition of the property:

• Village houses: some with pool and rental licence. See houses for sale in Selva.
• Country houses and fincas: at the foot of the mountains and around Moscari. See country houses for sale in Selva.
• Apartments: see apartments for sale in Selva.
• Plots: including plots with building licence in Moscari. Check what can be built before buying.

Market Trends

Houses and apartments are both up more than 12% in the last 12 months, from a lower base than coastal areas. Because the market is small, compare properties of the same type and location.

Buying Process in Mallorca

The general purchase process is the same as elsewhere in Mallorca. In Selva, buyers should pay particular attention to the planning status of country properties and plots, rustic land rules and the building 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 Selva

Rental Yields and Tourist Licence

Selva is not a coastal resort, so rental demand is limited compared to the coast. Holiday rental requires a tourist licence (ETV), and new licences are difficult to obtain, so check that the property has a valid, transferable licence. We do not offer yield promises: income depends on the property, the season and the licence.

Resale Value Drivers

Plot size, views, condition, privacy and the legal status of the buildings are the main factors that affect resale value.

Things to Know Before Buying in Selva

• Rustic land: check what can be built or renovated on rural plots and the minimum plot size.
• Building licence: for plots, check that the licence is in place and valid.
• Legal status: make sure that houses, pools and extensions are legal and match the registry.
• Access and water: check road access and water supply for country properties.
• Tourist licence (ETV): check that it exists and that it is transferable.
• Protected areas: the Tramuntana foothills may have additional protection that limits construction.
