What You Need to Know About Additional Purchase Costs on Mallorca
Buying a property in Mallorca is an exciting investment, but beyond the purchase price, there are additional costs you need to consider to plan your budget accurately. These expenses are essential to ensure a safe and transparent purchase.
1. Transfer Tax (ITP)
The ITP is a tax levied on the purchase of resale properties in Mallorca. The general rate currently stands at 8% of the purchase price, although it can vary depending on the autonomous community. It's important to factor this cost into your total investment.
2. Notary Fees
The public deed of sale is signed before a notary, and the fees vary according to the price and complexity of the transaction. Typically, these costs range between 0.3% and 0.6% of the purchase price.
3. Property Registry Fees
After signing the deed, the property must be registered at the Property Registry. Registry fees usually range between 0.2% and 0.5% of the purchase price.
4. Legal and Administration Fees
To facilitate administrative and legal procedures, many buyers hire legal advisors and management services. These fees can range from 1,000 to 3,000 euros depending on the complexity of the case.
5. Mortgage-Related Costs
If you require financing, consider additional costs such as property appraisal (around 300-500 euros), mortgage setup fees (between 0.5% and 1% of the loan amount), and other possible bank fees.
6. Other Important Expenses
- VAT (for new properties, generally 10%).
- Stamp Duty (AJD), around 1.5% for new properties.
- Community fees and maintenance costs.
- Home and liability insurance.
Conclusion and Final Tips
To avoid surprises, it is essential to have a realistic budget that includes all additional costs beyond the purchase price. Consulting with local professionals ensures a secure and transparent purchase process.
