Are you considering buying a house or villa in Ibiza? With a wide variety of high-quality properties on offer, it can be difficult to choose the perfect one. One option that continues to grow in popularity is purchasing a property with a rental licence. This not only allows you to enjoy your home in the Balearic Islands but also provides the opportunity to generate income when you are not using the property yourself.

Why a rental licence adds value to your property investment

The demand for holiday rentals in Ibiza remains strong, making homes with existing rental licences especially attractive to buyers. However, securing a new rental licence has become increasingly difficult due to strict local regulations. Therefore, buying a property that already includes a tourist rental licence is a highly valuable asset.

Houses, villas and traditional rustic homes are eligible for tourist rentals, while apartments are currently excluded from this regulation. This makes detached and semi-detached homes with a rental licence a limited and desirable resource on the property market.

When investing in a property with a rental licence, there are several points to bear in mind. A valid licence guarantees that the home complies with specific quality, safety and infrastructure standards set by the Balearic government. Properties with tourist licences are inspected and approved for short-term letting, allowing owners to rent legally and without future uncertainty.

Working with a reputable estate agency is essential to ensure that the licence is current, valid and properly registered. This avoids complications and gives you peace of mind.

A flexible investment for personal and commercial use

One of the great advantages of owning a property with a rental licence is the freedom to use the home as you wish. Whether you prefer to enjoy the house yourself, use it as a seasonal retreat, or let it out during peak tourist months, the choice is entirely yours. This flexibility makes such properties not only a lifestyle investment but a sound financial decision.
