Buying Process in Mallorca

The general purchase process is the same as elsewhere in Mallorca. In Son Vida, buyers should pay particular attention to the quality and legal status of the building, pools and extensions, and any urbanisation rules.

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 Son Vida

Rental Yields and Tourist Licence

Son Vida is mainly a residential community, so most buyers purchase for their own use. Holiday rental requires a tourist licence (ETV) and rules depend on the property and the area, so check them before buying. We do not offer yield promises: income depends on the property, the season and the licence.

Resale Value Drivers

Views, plot size, quality of construction, privacy and proximity to the golf courses are the main factors that affect resale value. Limited supply in the community supports demand.

Things to Know Before Buying in Son Vida

• Legal status: make sure that houses, pools and extensions are legal and match the registry.
• Building quality: assess the quality of construction and the condition of pools, roofs and installations before you commit.
• Urbanisation rules: check any rules of the community and its maintenance costs.
• Tourist licence (ETV): check that it exists and that it is transferable if you plan to rent.
• Running costs: large houses, pools and gardens need regular maintenance.
• Energy certificate: required for the sale.
