What Is an Ibiza Property Legal Check?
In Ibiza — and in Spain generally — the seller has no legal obligation to proactively disclose all legal information about a property. The buyer must actively investigate. A property legal check is exactly that: systematically verifying the official status of a property using official Spanish and Balearic government data sources.
After analysing hundreds of Ibiza properties, we consistently find: the majority have some form of undeclared construction or discrepancy between the marketed and officially registered status. This doesn't mean every property is unbuyable — it means you need to know exactly what you're buying before you sign.
🗺️
Verificación Catastro
We compare the officially registered surface area against the marketed property. Discrepancies reveal undeclared construction.
📋
Análisis MUIB
Ibiza's urban planning system determines what can be built and where. We check your property against current zoning rules.

35 Años Fotografía Aérea
IDEIB images from 1989 to present reveal when every structure appeared. Pools, extensions and outbuildings built without permits show clearly.
🏗️
Historial de Permisos
Every structure on a property should have a corresponding building permit. We check the permit history for the property reference.
👥
Análisis de Mandato
We identify which agent holds the mandate and analyse price discrepancies across multiple listings of the same property.

Puntuación de Riesgo
Every report concludes with a clear risk score (LOW / MEDIUM / HIGH) and a summary of findings that you can take to your lawyer or notary.
Illegal Construction in Ibiza: The Hidden Risk
Illegal construction is the biggest hidden risk when buying property in Ibiza. Structures built without permits — pools, outbuildings, extensions — appear on IDEIB aerial photos but are absent from the Catastro and building permit records.
