7 steps to acquire your property in Ibiza

We guide you every step of the way

Most people looking for property in Ibiza start the same way: portals, agency visits, months of searching through properties that don't quite fit. The system isn't set up to help you find the right one but sell what's available. A collaboration with us changes that.

The brief

It starts with understanding what you're looking for, how you live, and how the property needs to feel. Not a checklist. A real conversation about your project.

The search

From there, we search the entire market on your behalf. Every agency on the island, direct owners, off-market properties. We have this access because we represent buyers, not competing inventory.

The selection

We represent you, we visit the properties and analyse them for you, until we have found a selection for you to book a flight.

The visit

When you fly to Ibiza, you're ready to make a decision. The viewings, the logistics, and your stay are organised around your brief.

The negotiation.

We negotiate for you and make sure you pay the right price.

Due diligence

We connect you with trusted local lawyers and tax advisors who specialise in Ibiza real estate. Legal checks, ownership structures, permits, licences. You're fully informed before you commit.

Get your house keys

The purchase is the beginning. We introduce you to our network for renovation, property management, rental setup, utilities, and anything else that comes with owning property on the island.

Worth a conversation

If you're considering buying a property in Ibiza, we're happy to explain how a buyer mandate works and whether it makes sense for your situation.

Get in touch

Know the market before you buy

Every property type in Ibiza has a different set of rules, opportunities, and trade-offs. Here's what to expect.

The Ibizenca Finca

Fincas sit on larger plots, often with olive groves and mature gardens. They come with character, but also with questions: licences, renovation scope, protected land classifications. We know which ones to ask.

The modern villa

The best modern villas in Ibiza are architect-led, energy-efficient, and designed around outdoor living. Supply is limited and competition is high. Most of the interesting ones never reach a portal.

Hospitality investments

Ibiza's hospitality market attracts serious investors, but the regulatory landscape is complex. Licences, zoning, operational permits. If you're considering a commercial property, we have the hospitality network and expertise to guide your project.

Why choose us?

A collaboration that makes sure your interests comes first.

No one represents buyers.

When you visit an agency, the person across the table has a contract with the seller. Their job is to sell that property at the best price for the owner. A buyer mandate puts someone on your side of the transaction whose only job is to find the right property, at the right price, for you.

One relationship, full market access.

Without a mandate, you're calling agencies one by one, each showing you what they have. With a mandate, one conversation gives you reach across the entire island: every agency, direct owners, off-market properties. You stop managing the search and focus on what matters.

You only pay when it works.

The mandate costs nothing upfront. Our fee is a percentage of the purchase price, payable only on a successful transaction. If we don't find the right property, you owe us nothing. No hidden commissions, no seller-side payments. The incentive is simple: we find what's right, or we don't get paid.

Insights from the island

We write about what we know: the market, the regulations, the lifestyle, and the practical side of buying and owning property in Ibiza. What things actually cost, how the process works, what to watch out for, and what life here looks like once you have the keys. No fluff, just what we've learned over a decade on the island.
