Your property in Ibiza: buying costs estimate


General expenses when buying a property in Ibiza will vary.
As a general rule, you should allow between 8% and 10% of the price of the property for transfer expenses and taxes, depending whether you are buying a resale or new construction property.


Should you need a mortgage but are not a resident in Ibiza, we can arrange that between 60% to 70% here through a Spanish bank. However, it is a good idea to have mortgage information from your own country before doing your buying trip to Ibiza.

Please note: buying a property in a foreign country may seem complicated. It actually is if you don´t have the knowledge, contacts and experience. However, it is my job to make it all as simple as possible for you

In order to take advantage of the best opportunities and put an offer on, I suggest you having available around 5% of the price of a property in your price range ready to be used at 24h notice. This can be done either in cash or through your bank.
As a general rule, the expenses involved to buy a property in Ibiza are not higher than in any other European country
