Ibiza and Formentera are islands with unspoilt landscapes: coves with crystal-clear water, white villages and countryside scented by fruit trees.

We shape the search around your wishes, organise viewings and make the paperwork easier, taking into account the local architectural style, from traditional fincas to contemporary villas. Buying here means choosing an authentic way of life, with professional support throughout your project.
Multicultural life and quality of life
Ibiza and Formentera attract an international population and offer an open, multilingual way of life. Catalan and Spanish sit alongside English and other languages, which makes contact and integration easier. Living here means a rich social life, a wide range of cultural events and an environment that values freedom and creativity. For families, it is a chance for a multicultural education. Our English-speaking advisers help you find your way in this setting, understand local specifics and find the area that best matches your expectations.
Attractive areas for every project
Among the most sought-after areas, the north appeals for its peace and untouched landscapes, with fincas and traditional properties. The east has creative villages and a varied supply of apartments, villas and more modern houses, ideal for those who want a lively cultural life. The centre, with its hills and villages such as Santa Gertrudis, offers a rural setting close to amenities. The south and west coast have the most famous beaches and a busier way of life.

What worries you most?

Optional. You can choose more than one.

Your contact speaks English, from the first call to the signing. We translate the documents and explain each step to you before you commit.

NIE, bank account, buyer's tax, document translation: our teams handle it for you, right up to signing at the notary's.

Our experts do the pre-viewings on site, on video with you. You only travel to sign, and we prepare a power of attorney if you cannot come.

Before any offer, we check the property: debts, charges, mortgages, planning, licences and community of owners. You know what you are buying.

The notary checks the formalities and the seller has their own lawyer. We bring in an independent lawyer who defends only your interests and checks the preliminary contract before you sign.

Search, viewings, negotiation, paperwork: we take care of it. You get a written report in English at each step and you keep control of the decisions.

Anything to add?

Optional. Constraints, wishes, timing: anything that helps narrow the search.

Frequently asked questions about property in Ibiza and Formentera

Can a foreign buyer purchase property in Ibiza and Formentera?

+

Yes. Spain places no nationality restrictions on buying property. You do, however, need an NIE, the foreigner identification number, which is required to sign at the notary's and to open a Spanish bank account. We handle this step as part of our support.

What costs should you budget for on top of the property price?

+

As a rule, allow 10 to 15% of the asking price. This covers transfer tax (ITP) for a resale property or VAT for a new build, notary fees, land registry registration and administrative costs. Our online buying costs calculator gives a detailed estimate by region and type of property.

Do you need to be there in person to buy in Ibiza and Formentera?

+

No. Many of our clients buy from abroad. Viewings can be done by video call with a written report, and signing at the notary's is possible with a power of attorney. On site, we check what photos do not show: the real condition, the immediate surroundings, any nuisances, compliance.

What checks do you carry out before an offer?

+

We check the property's legal status at the land registry, that there are no debts or unpaid charges, planning compliance, the state of the community of owners and whether the price is consistent with recent sales in the area. These checks take place before any offer, not after.

How long does a property purchase in Ibiza and Formentera take?

+

From the first viewing to signing, it generally takes two to four months. The timing depends mainly on getting the NIE, any financing and the notary's availability. A cash purchase with a complete file can go faster.
