Detached house in Genova, Palma de Mallorca

Licence regime in this region

Balearics ETV moratorium: new short-term-rental licences are frozen. An existing, transferable ETV is required to operate legally — verify the licence and its transferability with the agency.

The listing states no licence, and its pin is not precise enough to check the register by location. Under the Balearic ETV regime (new licences frozen since 2022), a new licence is not obtainable, so ask the agency for the number before underwriting STR income.

A register hit means a licence exists at this location, not that it transfers with the sale: have a Spanish lawyer verify the transfer clause in the deed, the licence’s current status and the municipality’s renewal position before you commit.

After-tax basis: net yield is after Spain's non-resident rental income tax, modelled at the non-EU 24% rate on net profit (EU/EEA residents pay 19%). Assumes deductible STR expenses — standard for EU/EEA owners and, per recent rulings, available to non-EU owners; confirm with a Spanish tax adviser. Holiday lets don't qualify for the 60% long-term-rental reduction.
