Professional Home Evaluations in Ibiza – Everything You Need To Know Before Selling Your Property in Ibiza

It can be a testing and complex process to sell a home in Ibiza. Nonetheless, if you work with a knowledgeable agent, you can maximise your chances of a successful, hassle-free sale.

Selling a home in Ibiza takes an average of 10 months. However, there are many things you can do to speed up the process with a little strategic planning and smart thinking.

Here is a guide to help you navigate the process of home evaluations and everything you need to know about selling your property in Ibiza.

Selling Property in Ibiza and Home Evaluation

Is it time to choose a reliable agent to sell your Ibiza property?

You might wonder if you even need an estate agent to sell your Ibiza property – and the answer is: No, you don’t – but you’ll wish you did. It’s not difficult to put up a sales sign and list your property on online portals such as Fotocasa and Idealista. However, working with a professional real estate agency with the right skills, knowledge, and infrastructure will make the whole process much easier – especially when completing a reliable evaluation of your Ibiza home.

You need to find a reliable Ibiza real estate agent to understand the local market dynamics. The demand for various properties, local valuation trends, and factors currently influencing the market, like seasonal fluctuations and increased peak activity, will all be under the belt of an experienced, knowledgeable and trustworthy agent. The best realtors will also take into consideration a property’s legal situation, its location, its immediate surroundings, its age, size, plot, and condition, as well as its style, amenities, and views. In addition, they can offer advice on how to prepare your property for an optimal sale, highlight unique features for increased value, and market it effectively.

Selling Property in Ibiza and Home Evaluation

Getting ready to sell your home in Ibiza and preparing for an evaluation 

Getting a real estate expert to assess your property’s real market value can help you set a realistic sales price, prepare your property to an optimal selling standard, and sell more quickly. 

When a realtor visits your property for a valuation, he or she will conduct an inspection to identify any potential issues that may surface during the buyer’s viewing and to forecast a realistic and competitive price for your property. 

An experienced real estate agent knows how important presentation is for marketing your property effectively and can offer the best advice on how to portray it. Taking these simple steps will optimise your property’s chance of a decent valuation and quick sale:

  1. (un)Dress the home – remove all personal items, declutter and leave it as minimalistic as possible; add mirrors and plants; redecorate in neutral colours; have it as light as possible; remove any signs of pets or sources of unpleasant smells.
  2. Do the repairs – address any minor repairs or maintenance issues. A well-maintained home is more appealing to buyers.
  3. First impressions matter – ensure your home’s well-maintained exterior, with trimmed lawns, clean driveways, freshly painted façades and attractive landscaping.
  4. Professional photos & videos – Market your property well: have the most impressive presentation by taking the highest quality possible photos and videos to promote your property in its most appealing light (this is often included in the service of a professional real estate agency, especially when you sign an exclusive sales mandate).

Knowing the legal requirements and having your property’s documentation prepared will ensure that things will run smoothly and fast, with no unpleasant surprises either for the buyer or yourself. 

The following is a summary of the information required from the seller in preparation for the signature of the title deed (and ideally already in preparation for placing the property for sale so that potential buyers can have quick answers to questions related to the property’s documentation). 

Ideally, you will have: 

  • The Title Deeds to the property
  • Cédula de Habitabilidad (Valid)
  • Licencia and/or Final de Obra
  • Receipts for the local municipal property tax (impuesto sobre bienes inmuebles or IBI)
  • Copies of latest utility bills
  • Details of the community statutes (for apartments and gated communities) 
  • A list of any items of furniture, etc, which will be included in the sale
  • Your residencia card if you have residency status or NIE
  • An Official Energy Certificate (Certificado de Eficiencia Energetica) 

All these documents will help us understand your property’s legal situation, which will both help and impact the valuation process.

Getting a Realistic and Fair Evaluation for Your Ibiza Property

In our role as professional real estate agents in Ibiza, we will compare your property with properties that have been SOLD within the last six months with similar attributes. Market prices are always based on final sales prices. We never compare with properties that are still for sale. A slightly higher price can be tested first and adjusted if needed depending on the owner’s personal idea or timeframe. Keeping a bit of a negotiation margin in mind is also a good idea since clients often like to haggle –– but being open to what the market is willing to offer is always recommended especially if you want things to move faster and not drag on endlessly, risking also that your property will lose its value over time due to overexposure on the market.


Are you ready to sell your Ibiza property?

At Prestige Properties Ibiza, our extensive experience in the local market will help you find the right buyer in no time at all. We can confidently sell your home with great satisfaction. 

Our team is always ready to help you with your seller’s journey and will ensure you get the best opportunities with us, so why not get a free valuation with us today?

      The Costs of Owning a Property in Ibiza

      Buying a dream home in Ibiza is one of the most exciting things you can do. However, buying and owning a property in Ibiza comes with upfront and ongoing costs that all potential and active buyers must be aware of before signing on the dotted line. 

      It is crucial to consider the upfront costs associated with buying a property, such as the down payment, closing costs, and fees, but mostly forgotten are the ongoing costs, such as maintenance, taxes, insurance, and utilities, that will inevitably occur. A clear understanding of the costs of purchasing a home in Ibiza will help you determine if you are happy with the annual outlay.

      You can find our How to Buy a Property in Ibiza guide on our website; written with our buyers in mind and covering all those essential costs to consider when buying a property in Ibiza. But, in the meantime, let’s be clear about the ongoing costs of owning a property in Ibiza, so you know what to expect, once you call Ibiza your home.

      Costs of Buying and Owning Property in Ibiza - Prestige Properties

      The costs associated with Owning a Property in Ibiza 

      Multiple tax implications are associated with the cost of owning a property in Ibiza, Spain. To own a home in Ibiza, you must consider all tax implications -– so here’s a quick overview that will help you understand these costs.


      Understanding Property Taxes in Ibiza for Homeowners

      Your IBI (Property Tax)

      The IBI (Impuesto sobre Bienes Inmuebles) is a real estate municipal tax on properties in Spain that must be paid each year by property owners in Ibiza – regardless of whether you’re a resident or not.

      To figure the amount, the town hall assigns a value to your property known as the cadastral value. This value will be taxed at the same rate approved by each town hall within the specific municipality. 

      While IBI is charged as a percentage, the tax bill depends on the property’s cadastral value. This rateable value, in turn, is determined by a number of factors, which include the property’s:

      • Size and location
      • Construction costs
      • Title and lease details
      • Age and condition
      • Land characteristics
      • Proximity to public infrastructure

      Using this information, the local town hall compiles a report assessing the property’s rateable value and assigning a taxable "valor catastral" to each property in their area. These records are kept by the cadastral registry (which is different from the land registry office).

      When purchasing or interested in a specific property, the best advice is to ask your real estate agent for the most recent IBI bill of that property which will show the exact amount applicable for this specific property.


      Your Basuras (Waste Collection Tax)

      A local charge needs to be paid at the town hall where your property is located for rubbish removal. Each town hall determines the amount due, which varies from place to place. It is imperative to note that it is still necessary to pay for a property even if it is not occupied during the off-season. The town hall has the right to take legal action if payment is not made within a certain period of time.

      Typically, the waste collection cost when owning a property in Ibiza is around 90 euros annually.


      An Overview of Maintenance Costs when Owning a Property in Ibiza

      General Maintenance Costs

      All the additional services designed to maintain the property’s general condition and upkeep are included in the General Maintenance bracket. Property owners should expect annual costs of 1-2% of their property value to keep their houses healthy, fully maintained and stable. 

      These services may cover anything from basic repairs and house maintenance, home improvements, property management services, pest control, security checks, cleaning, gardening and pool maintenance. These include annual agreements, monthly advanced services, and one-off payments for individual services.

      Although these extra costs of owning a property in Ibiza may not feel necessary, the overall investment will ensure that the property’s value moves in line with the Ibiza property market trend (up!).


      Home Improvements and Renovation Costs when Owning a Home in Ibiza

      Property owners who rent their property will have higher maintenance costs, as rentals often require additional services and rental support which tend to arise from more wear-and-tear than non-rental properties. This may mean a higher budget for general yearly maintenance service is needed –– as well as regular home improvements and renovations to keep your home modern and up-to-date. 

      The purpose of home improvements is not only to enhance the living experience but also to increase the market value of the property and its rental potential. Landscape projects, energy solutions (e.g. solar panels), better water systems, interior improvements, carpentry, ventilation and construction are all great examples of these services and projects that may be noteworthy costs of owning a property in Ibiza. 


      Larger Renovation Projects

      In Ibiza, renovating a property can be a very rewarding experience, allowing you to create your dream home. It is also possible to reap impressive returns from a renovation project if planning and renovation are done properly – although there will be upfront and ongoing costs involved.

      Costs of with selling a property in Ibiza

      Just as there are costs associated with the buying process, there are also costs associated with selling your property. Please check out our Seller’s Guide, which will walk you through all the relevant and associated costs when selling your property in Ibiza.

          In addition to its privileged location, Villa Elegant San Agustin boasts an elegant contemporary design with four bedrooms and three bathrooms. This villa is located near some of the island’s most famous beaches, near San Agustin, within walking distance of the charming village of San José – and comes complete with a final tourist rental licence, which makes it an ideal investment property.

          This quiet residential community home features a master suite with an en-suite bathroom (with two sinks and a bathtub), three other bedrooms with twin beds, and two bathrooms, one of which is en-suite; the other two belong to the family bathroom.

          This home’s spacious open-plan living and dining room extends outside to a lovely covered terrace with garden and swimming pool views – perfect for al fresco dining and relaxing on sunny island days. The superior house features a minimalist design with pure white walls adorned with rich organic materials, reflecting and complementing its natural surroundings.

In addition to breathtaking hills and green countryside views, this upper level also offers a glimpse of Ibiza’s legendary western sunsets.

          Ibiza tourist rental licences are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain. Laws have become stricter, and processes can take a long time. It is often considered a golden opportunity to find a property that has already been licensed and is ready to rent out. You can read more on obtaining a tourist license in Ibiza here.


          Villa Campo Cala Conta

          This property is ideal for investors or people looking to live in Ibiza all year round since it offers the possibility to add their own touch to the property, especially since it has all the paperwork in order, and obtaining a license to renovate will not be difficult for this property.

          Located near amenities and with distant sea views, Villa Campo Cala Conta is a charming 4-bedroom villa near Cala Tarida and Cala Conta beaches. There is a living room and dining area overlooking the swimming pool on the ground floor, a kitchen with a separate entrance, and 2 bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms.

          A fourth bedroom is located on the upper floor of this property, complete with an ensuite bathroom and access to its own private terrace, which provides distant sea views on a clear day. 

          Outside is a 60m2 swimming pool and superb gardens with mature plants.

          Lastly, in the basement, under the terrace, we have a garage and ample space to use as additional storage. Don’t miss this opportunity to purchase a home where everything is in place to obtain all necessary licences without a headache, a rarity in Ibiza. 


          Proyecto con Licencia San Agustin

          Proyecto con Licencia San Agustin has recently received planning permission for a rustic Mediterranean-style detached house with a private swimming pool. This 15.153 m2 plot is located in a quiet residential area in the west of Ibiza; just a few minutes’ walk from the beach and restaurants.

          The house is divided into two floors and an additional basement. Three double bedrooms and three bathrooms are on the first floor, along with a separate kitchen and dining area. A central courtyard faces south and is the centre of life in the house, which can serve as extra living space, combining indoors and outdoors during summer. There are many outdoor terraces, some with pergolas or solid roofs, plus a 24 m2 swimming pool. On the upper floor is the master bedroom, with a dressing room, private bathroom with bathtub and private terrace.

          The construction project is ideally suited to those who want to determine their own style and quality requirements from the outset, which can serve as a holiday home and a house for year-round use.

          When you buy a project with a building licence, you can define all finishes precisely to your liking. By having a licence ready, you don’t have to wait the usual 2 years + until you get one authorised, meaning construction can start immediately. With this particular house, after the investment in construction, you will have a finished house that costs ca. 2.100.000 € which is likely to sell for around 2.800.000€ (with the right finishes) if placed straight back on the market – so it’s an excellent investment opportunity all around.


          Buying a property in Ibiza

          When the right investment opportunity property that suits your requirements becomes available, you’re ready to start the process as quickly as possible. There are often some great investment opportunities here. But as the demand is almost always higher than the supply, if the perfect investment property still needs to be added to the market, then actively registering yourself with the right agent as early as possible comes highly recommended.

            Everything you need to know about relocating to Ibiza (Spain) post Brexit

            Many of our UK clients who wish to buy property in Ibiza often have questions about the island’s logistics and how to invest for long-term relocation. Therefore, it would be worth writing this short article to provide you, as a UK citizen, with everything you need to know about buying a property and moving to Ibiza post-Brexit

            Read on to find out more information on relocating and living in Ibiza, including guidance on residency, working, and buying your dream home on the magical white island.


            Residency for living in Ibiza after Brexit

            As of January 1, 2021, UK citizens are subject to the same Spanish immigration rules as residents of non-EU countries, such as Russia, China, and the United States. Therefore, UK citizens who wish to live permanently or for an extended period in Spain must maintain legal residency status or a long-term visa. 


            A foreigner identity card, known as Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero (TIE), must be obtained upon arrival to Spain, the Balearics, and Ibiza whilst completing a full residence or visa application. Your residency and TIE can be applied from the UK, but as you can imagine, this is a slightly more complex process. You can find out more about the residency application process in our final chapters below.


            Visas for UK expats living in Ibiza, Spain

            The Spanish government also offers several visas that allow longer stays in the country. Two of the most common visa types include:

            • The Non-Lucrative Visa
            • The Golden Visa 

            The Non-Lucrative Visa allows stays longer than three months for retirees or those who do not need to or wish to work in Spain. Applicants must show a bank balance of €34,000 for at least six months and a valid private healthcare plan. The visa is valid for one year and can be renewed for two more years.

            Investors spending a minimum of €500,000 on a property are eligible for the Golden Visa program.

            Working in Ibiza for UK citizens

            Any non-European citizen who wishes to live and work in Spain for an extended period beyond the 90-day tourist visa must apply for residency or a work permit. By maintaining your residence in Spain, you will be able to take advantage of all the benefits of working here should you decide to do so on a permanent or extended basis. 

            As the Spanish government is welcoming new entrepreneurs into its country, if you have a solid business project you would like to set up in Spain, that could be a great way to qualify for a residency in the country. Recently, the Spanish government approved the first draft of a law with several immigration and tax advantages for startups and digital nomad visas. This law aims to promote the ecosystem by attracting emerging companies, talent and capital to develop innovative entrepreneurial activities in Spain.

            Buying a property in Ibiza Spain post Brexit

            There have been very few changes to buying a home in Spain, the Balearics, or Ibiza since Brexit. However, UK citizen rights have changed slightly.

            Currently, the main difference depends on whether you are a non-EU resident living in Spain or visiting it. Should you wish to relocate permanently, there are routes for you to become a full-time resident or gain a visa, making it easier for you to purchase a home.

            For a more detailed guide on buying a property post-Brexit, check out our most frequently asked questions here.

            Thanks to its stability and safety, Ibiza is an excellent market, especially for long-term investments. Check out our end-of-year property market report 2021 for a more detailed analysis or take a look at our easy-to-read blog – Is 2022 a Good Time to Buy a Property in Ibiza?

            Any person who purchases, sells, or owns a property in Spain must know the applicable property taxes, regardless of whether they are residents or non-residents. Your title will also be added to the property’s register by a notary. Depending on the number of clauses, deeds, and property value, the notary fees can also vary significantly.

            How can I start the residency or visa process in Ibiza and get the right help to take the next step?

            When you have completed your appointment at the national police office and submitted your required material for your special Brexit residence permit, you will need to wait until it is fully processed before collecting it (a second appointment is required). Due to the volume of applications for full residency in Ibiza, there is a long backlog. However, your TIE should arrive within a few weeks, allowing you to stay until your residency is completed.

              Looking to buy a Villa in San Antonio (Ibiza) in 2024?

              San Antonio is the second largest city on the island of Ibiza, known for its beautiful beaches, magnificent sunsets, and vibrant nightlife. In this article, we’ll discover the areas surrounding this popular tourist destination, revealing the best areas to buy a property in the San Antonio, Ibiza municipality.


              The history of San Antonio Ibiza, tourism and real estate rise

              Until a few decades ago, San Antonio town was still a local fishing village dating back 2000 years. In the 1980s, many ex-pats, particularly from Britain, moved to San Antonio to experience the dreamy Mediterranean lifestyle. Eventually, the area became a leading holiday destination, increasing the value of local properties and villas. 

              As a result, San Antonio has become an increasingly popular residential area for islanders and ex-pats alike, creating a notable British culture. Recent years have seen the real estate market gain recognition for its exclusive property locations and incredible opportunities for luxury homes and penthouses at very reasonable prices compared to the rest of the island.


              Why buy a Villa in San Antonio Ibiza? 

              When considering a Villa in San Antonio de Portmany, it should be no surprise that this beautiful coastal town offers a wide range of local amenities and a community atmosphere. There will never be a dull moment for you.

              Mambo Cafe, Cafe del Mar, Savannah, and Mint Lounge are some of the well-known music venues in town, yet the area is also home to an array of vibrant and popular restaurants and possibilities; some of our favourites are:

              Debunking San Antonio’s bad reputation,

              Unfortunately, San Antonio has acquired the reputation of being a hedonistic and low-budget tourist destination. However, the party scene represents just a small portion of the town’s soul; other noteworthy points of interest include:

              The municipality of Sant Antoni de Portmany is guaranteed to leave a lasting impression and ultimately dispel any false notions about the area

              San Antonio, Ibiza: one of the most reasonably priced areas on the island

              From some of the island’s best beaches to breathtaking sunsets and a vibrant, family-friendly atmosphere, San Antonio has so much to offer. Property prices in the island’s second-largest town remain relatively affordable, which is probably its best feature.

              For example, San Antonio is one of the few areas where it is possible to buy a 3-bedroom house for €500k, or a 6-bedroom villa for €1.5M (to be renovated).  While these prices can also be found in less popular neighbourhoods of Ibiza town and Santa Eularia, San Antonio offers the best deals.

              Exclusive villas in San Antonio’s countryside and villages feature views of rural landscapes and fascinating sunsets. The municipality comprises three picturesque villages characterised by traditional white churches: Santa Agnes, San Mateo and San Rafel.


              Santa Inés (Agnes), Ibiza

              Santa Inés’ beauty is well-known among tourists and photographers in Ibiza. They merely visit the area to marvel at its fields and landscape. 

              With acres of almond trees and cliff top walks overlooking the Islets of Ses Margalides, Santa Inés is a true haven. Also, while other major sunset spots like Es Vedra are often packed, this place is incredibly secluded and often overlooked.

              Last but not least, the almond trees bloom in February with pretty pink and white blossoms.
