Guides to buying and selling property in Ibiza
Buying or selling a home in Ibiza works differently from most other places in Europe. Building rules are strict, licences matter and Spanish paperwork has its own logic. Our guides explain each step in plain language, based on more than 15 years of daily work on the island. Most of our clients are families looking for a year round home or a second home, so the guides also cover practical questions such as choosing the right area, schools and everyday life in Ibiza.
Buying a property in Ibiza
Our guide to buying a property in Ibiza takes you from the first search to the signing at the notary. You will learn how to apply for an NIE number, which checks an independent lawyer should carry out, how the land registry and building licences are reviewed and which purchase costs to plan for. For families who want to live in Ibiza all year, we also explain the town hall registration (empadronamiento), which you need for example to enrol your children at school. Before you make an offer, read our checklist of what to check before buying in Ibiza.
Financing and mortgages in Spain
Many buyers finance part of the price through a Spanish bank. Our guide to getting a mortgage in Ibiza explains which documents banks ask for, how much of their own capital foreign buyers usually need and how age, income and residency affect the decision. For current prices and returns, see our article on investing in Ibiza property in 2026.
Selling a property in Ibiza
If you own a house, villa or apartment and are thinking about selling your property in Ibiza, our guide to the 7 steps of a property sale in Ibiza shows what to expect. It covers a realistic valuation, the documents you need, marketing, viewings and the taxes on a sale, such as the 3% that the buyer withholds when the seller is not resident in Spain. Why many owners trust us with their sale is explained in why you should choose CW Real Estate Ibiza.
Getting to know Ibiza first
Many families rent a villa for a few weeks before they buy, to compare different areas and see how daily life feels. You will find suitable homes among our Ibiza villas to rent, and our guide to villa rental prices and licences in Ibiza explains what to look for when choosing the villa and its location.
All guides are based on our team’s daily experience with mansions and luxury villas in every part of the island, and we update them when laws, taxes or market conditions change. If you have a question about your own situation, please contact us directly. We answer personally and help you plan your purchase or sale clearly and securely.
