Our Story
A Boutique Real Estate Experience
Real Estate Agents Mallorca – for us, those words mean far more than a profession. They reflect a personal connection to the island that has grown over more than thirty years.
It is a different way of living.
For us, that journey began more than thirty years ago, when we first discovered Mallorca. We travelled the world, experienced remarkable destinations and encountered extraordinary cultures, yet no place ever left the same lasting impression.
Every visit ended with the same thought.
Leaving became a little harder.
WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO
It wasn’t only the Mediterranean Sea, the beautiful landscapes or the endless sunshine that kept drawing us back. It was something far less obvious.
The slower rhythm of everyday life.
The authenticity of villages that have remained true to themselves.
Today, our work is supported by a trusted network of lawyers, tax advisors, architects, craftsmen and local professionals who share the same commitment to quality and integrity. Together, we guide our clients through every step of their journey with discretion, transparency and personal dedication.
For us, luxury has never been defined by price.
Luxury is feeling understood.
Feeling supported.
Feeling completely at ease with one of the most important decisions you will ever make.
Because in the end, the perfect property is not simply the one with the best views or the finest architecture.
It is the one that feels like home.
Welcome to Son Bauer Estates.
We look forward to helping you find not just a property, but the place where your next chapter begins.
Buying a Property in Mallorca
Buying a home in Mallorca should be an exciting experience, not a complicated one. Here you’ll find clear answers to the questions we are asked most often by international buyers.
Before purchasing a property in Mallorca, you will normally require a few essential documents and preparations.
• A valid passport or national identity card
• A Spanish NIE (Foreigner Identification Number)
• A Spanish bank account for the completion and future property expenses
• Proof of funds or mortgage approval, if applicable
• Funds available for taxes and purchase costs
Our team will guide you through every step of the process and help ensure that all documentation is prepared correctly before completion.
In addition to the purchase price, buyers should allow for the associated acquisition costs, which generally include:
• Property Transfer Tax or VAT (depending on the property)
• Notary fees
• Land Registry fees
• Legal fees
• Administrative and registration costs
As a general guideline, buyers should budget approximately 10–13% of the purchase price to cover all purchase-related expenses.
Before you proceed, we will provide you with a clear and transparent cost overview, so you know exactly what to expect.
Yes. The NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) is required for almost every property purchase in Spain. It is your official tax identification number and is needed for the purchase, the signing before the notary, opening a Spanish bank account and registering utilities.
Yes. Foreign buyers are welcome to purchase property in Mallorca, whether as a holiday home, permanent residence or investment.
The process is straightforward and follows the same legal framework for both residents and non-residents. The main requirements are obtaining an NIE number, providing valid identification and completing the purchase through a Spanish notary.
At Son Bauer Estates, we guide international buyers through every step, ensuring a smooth, transparent and enjoyable purchasing experience.
Absolutely. We always recommend appointing an independent lawyer who specialises in Spanish property law.
Your lawyer will review all legal documentation, verify ownership, check for any outstanding debts or planning issues and ensure that your interests are fully protected throughout the transaction.
If you do not already have legal representation, we will be pleased to introduce you to trusted professionals from our carefully selected network across Mallorca.
Buying a property in Mallorca is a straightforward process when guided by experienced professionals.
The journey typically begins with a reservation agreement, followed by legal due diligence carried out by your lawyer. Once all checks have been completed, the purchase is finalised before a Spanish notary and the property is officially registered in your name.
From your first viewing through to the handover of the keys, Son Bauer Estates will coordinate every stage and work closely with your legal and financial advisers to ensure a smooth and secure transaction.
The timeframe depends on the property and the legal due diligence involved. In most cases, the entire process is completed within four to eight weeks from the reservation agreement to the final signing before the notary.
If financing is required or additional legal matters need to be clarified, the process may take slightly longer.
Our role is to coordinate every step efficiently, keep you fully informed and ensure that your purchase progresses as smoothly as possible.
Absolutely.
Over the years, we have built a trusted network of experienced lawyers, tax advisers, architects, surveyors, mortgage specialists and reputable local craftsmen across Mallorca.
While you are always free to choose your own advisers, we are happy to introduce you to carefully selected professionals who share our commitment to quality, transparency and reliability.
Our aim is to make your property purchase as straightforward and stress-free as possible by connecting you with the right experts whenever you need them.
Once the purchase has been completed before the notary, the ownership is officially registered in your name and the keys are handed over.
From there, we continue to support you with the next steps, whether that involves arranging utility contracts, recommending insurance providers, coordinating renovations or introducing trusted local professionals.
Our relationship does not end with the purchase. It is often where it truly begins.
Yes. For many of our clients, purchasing a property is only the beginning.
Whether you are planning a complete renovation, furnishing your new home, arranging regular maintenance or looking for trusted local service providers, we are happy to assist.
Thanks to our carefully built network across Mallorca, we can introduce you to experienced architects, craftsmen, interior designers and other specialists who share our commitment to quality and reliability.
Our goal is to help you feel at home from the very first day.
