In short

How does property development finance work in Mallorca?

Mallorca development finance funds villa construction, finca restoration and boutique hospitality schemes, typically up to 65% of gross development value with staged drawdowns against certified works. Terms run twelve to twenty-four months and repay from sales or a term refinance.

  • Island licence timelines and build logistics are factored into the drawdown plan.
  • Land purchase and construction can be funded in a single facility.
  • Interest is normally rolled up until units or the completed asset are sold.
  • Experienced local contractors and clear licences improve leverage.

Indicative figures for guidance only, correct as at July 2026. Rates, costs and timelines vary by lender, borrower profile, asset and jurisdiction, and are not an offer of finance. How we derive these figures.

Methodology and assumptions

  • Figures are compiled by Clifton International specialists from live lender term sheets, indicative quotes and completed transactions arranged over the preceding 12 months.
  • Rates and costs are stated as ranges rather than a single number because pricing is set case-by-case on borrower profile, residency, asset type, location and loan-to-value.
  • Timelines assume a complete document file from the outset; valuation, legal capacity and (in Spain) NIE and notary availability drive the critical path.
  • Costs exclude any lender, broker or third-party fees not stated on the page, and exclude currency movement between agreement and drawdown.
  • Figures are reviewed at least quarterly and re-checked against lender pricing whenever a material market change occurs.
