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.
Legal and practical considerations
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.
