Practical case Mallorca: Villa in Pollensa – With an existing property in Germany as a solid foundation
Both buyers had a regular pension income as well as additional income from a rented apartment in Germany. They also owned a debt-free single-family house that was to be kept for now, as the family still wanted to use it from time to time.
In short
What was this case about?
Both buyers had a regular pension income as well as additional income from a rented apartment in Germany. They also owned a debt-free single-family house that was to be kept for now, as the family still wanted to use it from time to time.
Does the property in the home country have to be sold?
No. Many buyers deliberately choose to keep their house or apartment, for example for family reasons or as an additional investment.
Why were the renovation costs planned in directly?
So that all work could be carried out after handover without interruption and no later financing was required.

A new home between the Tramuntana and the Mediterranean
A couple from Rhineland-Palatinate had dreamed for many years of spending their retirement on Mallorca. After numerous stays on the island, it was clear that Pollensa would be the ideal place. The historic old town, the proximity to the Port de Pollença and the impressive landscape of the Serra de Tramuntana offered exactly the mix of peace, culture and nature they were looking for.
After a longer search, they found a detached villa with a pool, a Mediterranean garden and generous living space in a quiet residential area.
Pension and rent carry it, the German house stays
Both buyers had a regular pension income as well as additional income from a rented apartment in Germany. They also owned a debt-free single-family house that was to be kept for now, as the family still wanted to use it from time to time.
As the property in Germany was not to be sold, the financing had to be sustainable solely on the basis of the available income and equity.
€1.73m total, €184,600 in purchase costs
- Purchase price: 1.420.000 €
- Additional costs: 184.600 €
- Renovation: 130.000 €
- Total investment: 1.734.600 €
- Equity: 742.600 €
- Financing required: 992.000 €
The financing share corresponded to around 70 % of the purchase price.
New heat pump, windows, kitchen and bathrooms
The villa was in very well-kept condition. Nevertheless, it was to be energetically modernised and adapted to the couple's own living habits. Planned were new air conditioning, the replacement of the windows, a modern heat pump as well as the redesign of the kitchen and the bathrooms.
At the same time, the buyers deliberately wanted to keep their property in Germany and not use it for the financing.
Budget built on pension plus rental income
At the centre was a long-term sustainable household calculation. In addition to the pension income, the regular rental income was also taken into account.
All renovation costs were then fully calculated and included in the total investment before the purchase.
As sufficient equity was available, a financing could be chosen that offered both planning security and financial flexibility.
70 % loan, the works planned in from day one
The financing was built on around 70 % of the purchase price.
The additional costs as well as a considerable part of the purchase price were borne from own funds.
All renovation measures were also part of the overall plan from the outset — covered from equity, not by the bank loan. This allowed the work to begin immediately after the transfer of ownership, without additional capital being needed later.
Two houses, two purposes, both kept
Within a few months, the villa was fully renovated and adapted to personal wishes.
The couple now enjoy a large part of the year in Pollensa and continue to use the house in Germany for stays with family and friends. Both properties complement each other sensibly and meet different needs.
Buying in Spain need not mean selling at home
Buying a property in Spain does not necessarily require selling the previous home. Anyone with sufficient income and equity can sensibly integrate both properties into their long-term life planning.
