Buying in Balearic Islands
Mallorca, Ibiza, Menorca and Formentera form Spain’s premier island market, and our home turf, with Viva Mortgages Spain based in Palma de Mallorca.
Island properties are highly sought after, and lenders treat established markets like Balearic Islands favourably. A village house, a modern apartment or a rural finca: non-resident financing of up to 60–70% of the property value is typically available, and our team can run the whole process remotely.
We're based in Palma, so Balearic financing is where we have the deepest hands-on experience, including island-specific quirks like rústico land classifications that catch out buyers of countryside fincas. Mallorca, Ibiza, Menorca and Formentera each have distinct lending appetite among the banks we work with.
Wherever in the world you're based, our team compares terms across 15+ Spanish lenders, negotiates on your behalf, arranges your property valuation, and stays with you and the bank right through to completion.

Treat this as a general guide: the exact rate depends on the price, your circumstances and current regional rules. We confirm the precise figure for your purchase.
