Mallorca – the favorite island of Germans. How about owning an apartment, a house, or a finca there? The island is just a two-hour flight away, and with the increasing acceptance of remote work, one could spend entire weeks there even before retirement, escaping the gray weather in Germany. This dream can come true! However, there are some bureaucratic hurdles to overcome before you can call yourself the happy owner of a property in Mallorca. Find out here what exactly needs to be considered and why the support of a competent real estate agent is essential.
Mallorca is just a two-hour flight from Germany, and there are (normally) numerous daily flights (except during the COVID-19 period when connections were limited – but hopefully, those times will soon be over). The island is therefore usually easily and quickly accessible, making frequent visits to the property possible—even for a weekend getaway.
Many Germans have even settled on the island year-round, enjoying the pleasant climate and excellent infrastructure. There is a large German community, and for those who want it, even German sausage and bread are available.
With the growing trend of remote work, the dream of living in Mallorca is becoming a reality not only for retirees but also for working professionals.
Even though Spain – and therefore Mallorca – is part of the EU, there are some differences when purchasing real estate compared to Germany.
One of the first requirements is obtaining an N.I.E. (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) – a foreigner identification number, which is mandatory. Additionally, a Spanish bank account is usually required.
The biggest differences, however, lie in the reservation process and the cadastre system. In Spain, the option to purchase a property does not require a notary and is instead arranged through a private contract. The deposit (reservation fee) agreed upon in this contract is usually non-refundable if the buyer decides not to proceed with the purchase. On the other hand, if the seller backs out, they typically have to refund twice the amount of the deposit to the buyer.
Another key difference is the land registry and cadastre records. Unlike in Germany, the land registry (Registro de la Propiedad) is legally binding, whereas the cadastre (Catastro) mainly determines tax assessments.
Of course, the biggest difference compared to Germany is the language barrier. Everything is conducted in Spanish, making it essential to have a translator or a bilingual lawyer and real estate agent to navigate the process smoothly.
Don’t let these differences discourage you! With the right real estate agency by your side, these hurdles can be easily managed!
As you can see, there are many regulations to consider and a variety of tasks to complete. If you don’t want to handle all of this yourself (in Spanish!), we offer a comprehensive service and are happy to take care of everything for you!
A German real estate agent in Mallorca can not only guide you through all the points on the checklist but also support you from start to finish, from the first viewing to the notary appointment and beyond. For example, if you wish to rent out your property to holiday guests, they can assist with that as well.
An experienced real estate agent has years of expertise, is well-established on the island, and, of course, all agency staff speak both Spanish and German—ideally, even some Mallorquin, as Mallorca has its own regional language in addition to Spanish.
So, make your dream of owning a property in Mallorca a reality—but don’t go through the process alone! We are happy to support you with our network of lawyers, notaries, architects, financial advisors, and insurance agencies.
Answering this question is the first and most important step in the property-buying process. A competent real estate agency will take plenty of time to advise you in detail, ensuring that your choice aligns with your needs and lifestyle, not just your budget.
It’s not only about financial aspects (which, of course, matter) but also about your personal preferences:
We will discuss all these questions in a detailed consultation before beginning our property selection process to ensure we find the perfect match for you.
The northeast of Mallorca, just one hour from the airport, offers picturesque towns, stunning beaches, and charming holiday resorts. This region is highly sought after by holidaymakers and Germans looking for a second home.
The most well-known town in the area is Cala Ratjada. Nestled between beautiful beaches, it boasts an authentic town center, including the charming Plaza de los Pinos (Pinienplatz) and a scenic fishing harbor. Unlike some seasonal resorts, Cala Ratjada is inhabited year-round.
Other popular destinations in northeast Mallorca include:
Whether you’re looking for peaceful relaxation or a vibrant holiday atmosphere, the northeast of Mallorca offers something for everyone.
The well-known beaches in Cala Ratjada include Cala Gat, a hidden gem within the town, Cala Son Moll, a popular urban beach, and Cala Agulla, located on the edge of the town center, which offers a lively atmosphere in the summer, including a bit of a party vibe in the central section.
Not far from Cala Ratjada, and reachable by car or a scenic hike, is the stunning, expansive sandy beach of Cala Mesquida. Even further north lies Cala Torta, a breathtaking, unspoiled bay. Both Cala Mesquida and Cala Torta offer real estate opportunities in rural settings or near the beach, though the infrastructure in these areas is limited. For better shopping options and everyday conveniences, Cala Ratjada is the more practical choice.
Capdepera and Artà are historic inland towns not far from Cala Ratjada. They are rich in history and local culture, featuring lively weekly markets and excellent shopping options—even in winter. These towns also serve as the municipal centers for their respective regions. The real estate market here offers a variety of options, from small apartments and village houses full of character to luxurious countryside estates.
One advantage of this region for real estate buyers is the availability of properties in all price categories. Smaller apartments start at around €100,000, while large villas can reach up to €5 million. Prices vary depending on location, features, and size. When selecting a property, factors such as the need for a pool, garden, sauna, heating, fireplace, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and the intended frequency of use or rental potential should be considered. CCC-Immobilien provides expert guidance to help buyers find the right property for their needs.
Life in Mallorca offers an exceptional quality of life, particularly for families seeking high-quality education in an international environment. The island’s many excellent international schools ensure that children receive a top-tier education while growing up in a multicultural and enriching setting.
For expats, moving to Mallorca often marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter. Finding the right property near a preferred school is an important part of making this transition smooth. Fortunately, Mallorca offers a wide range of family-friendly housing options tailored to different needs.
With the right support, whether in choosing a school or finding the ideal home, making the move to Mallorca can be a seamless experience. The island provides the perfect balance between education, lifestyle, and Mediterranean charm.
The picturesque landscape, beautiful beaches, and charming town center with a wide selection of shops and restaurants make Cala Ratjada an ideal holiday destination for all age groups.
Unlike in Germany, the land registry does not contain all property details, and the cadastre is used solely to determine tax assessments. The legally binding document is the land registry entry.
Unlike in Germany, a pre-contract (reservation) for purchasing a property in Spain is handled through a private contract rather than a notary. A reservation fee (deposit) is usually set, which is generally non-refundable if the buyer decides not to proceed with the purchase. If the seller withdraws from the sale, they are typically required to refund double the deposit amount.
Yes, non-residents need a Número de Identificación de Extranjero (N.I.E.) to buy or sell a property in Mallorca.
