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.
Initial situation
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.
Financing overview
- 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.
The challenge
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.
Analysis
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.
Financing solution
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.
Outcome
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.
What other buyers can learn
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.
Frequently asked questions
Are special features common with new builds?
Why should the payment schedule be checked early?
Does financing make sense despite substantial wealth?
Conclusion
The purchase of a new-build villa in Santa Ponsa shows that successful financing begins long before the handover of the keys. Anyone who combines the payment schedule, special features, equity and long-term asset planning creates the basis for a relaxed property purchase in one of Mallorca's most sought-after regions.
