In short
Can foreign buyers get a mortgage in Ibiza?
Yes. Non-resident buyers can typically borrow 60–70% of value on Ibiza property, with private-bank options for high-value villas in Ibiza Town, Santa Eulalia and San José. Terms run five to twenty-five years and completion usually takes eight to fourteen weeks.
Large-value villa purchases are often placed with HNW and private-bank lenders.
Fixed and Euribor-linked variable rates are both available.
Allow 10–12% of the price for taxes and purchase costs.
Bridging can secure a competitive Ibiza purchase before mortgage completion.

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.

Ibiza prices and purchase taxes

Transfer tax in Spain is set by each autonomous community, not centrally — the same €1m purchase costs materially more in some regions than others. These are the figures that apply to a Ibiza purchase.

Price bands are indicative asking-price ranges compiled by Clifton International from Spanish portal listings and our own completed transactions in the preceding 12 months. Tax rates are the headline rates published by each autonomous community. Figures are guidance only, reviewed August 2026, and are not tax or legal advice — confirm the rate applying to your purchase with your Spanish lawyer. How we compile these figures.
Yes. Non-resident buyers (US, UAE, UK, European and others) can secure mortgages against Ibiza property, typically up to 60–65% LTV via Spanish and international lenders.
Yes. Spanish and international lenders typically want 2–3 years of accounts, SA302s or tax returns; company directors can combine salary, dividends and retained profits, and private banks will lend against wealth or asset-backed income where earned income is complex.
Most Spanish retail lenders require the mortgage to end by age 70–75; private banks and international lenders can extend to age 80, and interest-only structures are available for older borrowers with strong assets.
Both. Long-dated fixed rates, variable rates linked to a benchmark, and mixed fixed-then-variable products are all available to non-residents — we compare the whole market against your income profile and holding period. Current pricing is provided on enquiry.
Plan for 6–10 weeks from full application to notary, subject to a clean valuation, title and NIE. Bridging can complete faster — typically 2–4 weeks once due diligence is underway.
The three most common exits are refinance onto a long-term Spanish mortgage, sale of another asset (often a home-country property in the UK, US or elsewhere), or sale of the Ibiza property itself once refurbished, repositioned or short-term let.
Non-regulated bridging on Spanish property is priced case-by-case, based on LTV, location, borrower profile and the strength of the exit. Expect a monthly interest cost plus an arrangement fee, legal and valuation costs — we provide indicative pricing after a short call.
Yes. Non-resident remortgages and equity-release refinances are available up to 60–65% LTV — commonly used to cut rate, raise capital for another purchase, or restructure onto interest-only or a longer term.
Yes — both are required to sign at notary and drawdown a Spanish mortgage. We coordinate NIE, bank account opening, lawyer engagement and FX alongside the finance so timelines stay aligned.

Where we lend in and around Ibiza
Ibiza Town, Talamanca, Jesús, Santa Eulalia and San José. We also arrange property finance across the neighbouring areas below — one adviser, one conversation, whichever location you buy in.
What documents do you need for a Spanish mortgage?
Identity and NIE, two years of income evidence, six months of bank statements, source of wealth and the property paperwork — our free checklist sets out every document Spanish lenders ask international buyers for, by applicant profile.
Need to move faster than a Spanish mortgage allows?
Non-resident Spanish mortgages typically take 6–10 weeks. Where timing is tight — auctions, off-market deals, chain-breaks or a pending home-country sale — short-term bridging can complete in 2–4 weeks and refinance onto a mortgage later.
