In short

What was this case about?

Both worked in senior positions at international companies and earned an above-average income. At the same time they had liquid reserves as well as a broadly diversified securities portfolio that was to remain untouched as far as possible.

Are special features common with new builds?

Yes. Many buyers opt for individual adjustments during the construction phase that increase living comfort over the long term.

Why should the payment schedule be checked early?

Because it determines when own funds and financing are actually needed and how the entire liquidity plan should be structured.

Property for sale in Santa Ponsa: sometimes patience is part of the best decision

A couple from Frankfurt were not looking for an existing property on Mallorca, but a modern home that was energetically state of the art. After several viewings they decided on a high-quality new-build villa in Santa Ponsa. The plot was already built on, but completion was to follow only around twelve months later.

The advantage: the buyers were still able to make numerous decisions themselves regarding the fittings and the layout.

The villa is still going up, the payment plan sets the pace

Both worked in senior positions at international companies and earned an above-average income. At the same time they had liquid reserves as well as a broadly diversified securities portfolio that was to remain untouched as far as possible.

As the villa would only be handed over after completion, the financing had to take the agreed construction and payment schedule into account.

€2.63m total, including €170,000 of special fittings

  • Purchase price: 2.180.000 €
  • Additional costs: 283.400 €
  • Special features during the build phase: 170.000 €
  • Total investment: 2.633.400 €
  • Equity: 1.107.400 €
  • Financing required: 1.526.000 €

The financing share thus corresponded to around 70 % of the purchase price.

Pool, outdoor kitchen and smart home planned before the build

Several special requests were implemented during the construction phase. Among other things, the buyers opted for a larger pool complex, an outdoor kitchen, a high-quality natural-stone terrace and additional smart-home technology.

These extra costs were not to arise only after completion but to be fully accounted for from the outset.

Payment plan and every extra in one calculation

In the first step, the developer's entire payment schedule was analysed. All special features including realistic costs were then incorporated into the total investment.

This created a complete financing plan that covered both the purchase price and all additional services.

At the same time, sufficient equity remained available to organise the furnishing and the move without financial pressure after completion.

70 % loan, the extras paid from own funds

The financing was built on around 70 % of the purchase price.

The additional costs as well as all special features commissioned during the construction phase were integrated into the overall plan together with the use of equity.

The existing securities portfolio therefore did not have to be liquidated and remained part of the long-term asset strategy.

Villa handed over on time, nothing rebuilt afterwards

The villa was completed on schedule and already matched the buyers' personal expectations at handover. Additional conversions after moving in were not necessary.

Thanks to the early consideration of all additional costs, the entire purchase proceeded without any subsequent financing decisions.

Price the extras before you sign the contract

When buying a new-build property, additional costs often arise from individual fitting requests. Anyone who calculates these realistically before signing the contract avoids later financing gaps and creates significantly greater planning security.
