Tourist licences in Ibiza: what to check before you buy
Not every villa can be let by the week. How to check, and why it changes what a house is worth.
By Luis CasanovasFounder
If you plan to let the house when you are not using it, the tourist licence is the first thing to confirm. It belongs to the property, not to the owner, and not every area allows a new one.
How to check
Every licence has a registration number that can be verified. We always request the resolution, check that the capacity matches the actual house and that there are no open proceedings.
What it changes in the price
A house with a valid licence is usually valued above an equivalent one without it, because the buyer can count on income from the first summer. That is why it pays not to assume anything: a house having been let before does not mean it had a licence.
