Frequently asked questions

What do the properties on this page have in common?
All of them are located in Son Vida, one of Mallorca's established residential areas, and range from plots to move-in-ready villas. Most listings are priced between 1,800,000 and 8,200,000 EUR. Many also share generous plot sizes and proximity to the golf course.
Can foreigners buy property in Son Vida?
Yes, Spain places no special restrictions on foreign buyers. You'll need a Spanish tax number (NIE) and a Spanish bank account to complete the purchase. It's also wise to work with an independent local lawyer throughout the process.
What does 'plot with preliminary project' mean?
A preliminary project is an early architectural design showing how a villa could be built on the plot, often including a rough cost estimate. It's not a building permit itself, but it gives buyers a clearer sense of the plot's potential and can speed up the later licensing process.
What ongoing costs should I expect as an owner?
Owners typically pay an annual property tax (IBI), plus insurance and refuse collection charges. Larger estates often carry costs for garden maintenance, pool upkeep or shared community fees. Exact amounts vary by property and are worth asking about before you buy.
How does the buying process generally work here?
After a viewing, buyers usually make a reservation, then a lawyer checks the land registry and building status of the property. This is followed by signing a private purchase contract with a deposit, and finally the transfer of ownership before a notary, after which the registry is updated.
Do I need a licence to rent out a villa in Son Vida to holidaymakers?
Short-term holiday letting on Mallorca requires an official tourist rental licence, and not every property or zone automatically qualifies. It's important to check with a specialist whether a licence is realistic for a specific property before buying it with that plan in mind.
What should I check before viewing a property?
It helps to look at the land registry extract, building permits and, for plots, the applicable zoning rules beforehand. Ask about the energy certificate and any existing charges or usage restrictions too. This lets you ask sharper questions during the viewing and compare properties more easily.
Why do prices vary so much within Son Vida?
Plot size, views, the condition of the building and how far a project has progressed all affect price significantly. A house in need of renovation and a finished new-build villa aren't really comparable, even in the same neighbourhood. Each property is best judged on its own terms.
Is a property in need of renovation a good starting point for my own project?
For buyers who want to shape a villa around their own ideas, a renovation project can be an exciting starting point. It's essential to have the structure and any renovation restrictions properly assessed beforehand. That way you get a realistic picture of the work involved.
Are rentals also available in Son Vida, not just sales?
This page focuses on properties for sale, from plots to finished villas. Rentals are considerably harder to find in Son Vida than purchase opportunities. If renting is what you're after, just get in touch and we'll advise you directly.
