Property for sale in Port d'Andratx: the dream of a harbour view became reality

A couple of entrepreneurs from Austria had looked at various regions on Mallorca over the years. While the north of the island won them over with its nature, it was ultimately the atmosphere of Port d'Andratx that tipped the balance. The lively harbour, the upmarket gastronomy and the proximity to the sea matched exactly their ideas of a holiday property that was later also to be used for longer stays.

After an intensive search they found a modern apartment with a large terrace and a view of the marina.

Entrepreneur couple from Austria, business funds untouched

Both buyers jointly ran a successful company in Austria and had regular income and sufficient equity. As they did not want to burden their business reserves unnecessarily, a balanced ratio between own funds and financing was to be created.

The apartment was in very good condition, so no major renovation was required at first.

€1.33m total, purchase costs paid from own funds

  • Purchase price: 1.180.000 €
  • Additional costs: 153.400 €
  • Total investment: 1.333.400 €
  • Equity: 625.400 €
  • Financing required: 708.000 €

The financing share corresponded to around 60 % of the purchase price.

Showing a business owner's income clearly

Even with a high equity ratio, the income circumstances of an entrepreneurial household had to be presented traceably. Alongside the private income, business documents were also required in order to document the economic stability over the long term.

The aim was financing that left sufficient flexibility for future investments in the company.

Company, private assets and income seen as one picture

The economic situation was not assessed on the basis of individual annual accounts alone. Rather, an overall picture emerged from the company's development, private assets and regular income.

Thanks to the high use of equity, the financing requirement was significantly reduced. At the same time, enough liquidity remained to be able to make entrepreneurial decisions independently of the purchase.

60 % loan for the purchase alone, no works needed

The additional costs were paid entirely from own funds.

In addition, the buyers contributed a considerable part of the purchase price themselves. The financing covered around 60 % of the purchase price and was aligned with long-term predictability.

As no modernisation was necessary, the financing focused exclusively on the acquisition of the property.

Low monthly payment, reserves left for the company

The apartment could be taken over within the planned timeframe. Thanks to the high equity ratio, the monthly burden remained comparatively low, while at the same time enough financial reserves remained for private and entrepreneurial projects.

Today the couple uses the property regularly for longer stays on Mallorca and plans to shift their centre of life partly to the island in a few years.

Even with plenty of equity, keep reserves back

A high use of equity reduces not only the financing requirement but often creates additional financial security. Even so, not all of the available assets should flow into the purchase. Sufficient reserves remain an important part of sustainable financing planning, especially for the self-employed and entrepreneurs.

FAQ

Frequently asked

Is financing possible despite self-employment?
Yes. What is decisive is a traceable economic situation with meaningful income and business documents.
Why can a lower financing share be sensible?
A lower loan amount reduces the ongoing burden and increases financial flexibility.
Should a property be paid for entirely from own funds?
That depends on the individual asset planning. A balanced combination of equity and financing often offers more room for action than a full use of capital.

Port d'Andratx apartment: equity used instead of a maximum loan
