Buying a property in Ibiza is a major investment that goes beyond finances: it involves emotions, expectations, and sometimes uncertainties. At Ibiza Royal Agency, we understand these feelings, especially when doubt sets in after signing.
What Happens If You Regret It After Signing?
Feeling vulnerable at this stage is completely normal. Legally, a signed purchase contract is binding. However, there are scenarios that may offer some peace of mind:
- Deposit Agreement (Arras): If you signed this, you will usually lose the deposit if you withdraw from the purchase. If the seller backs out, they are usually required to return double the amount.
- Suspensive Conditions: such as obtaining financing. If you cannot secure the mortgage, some clauses allow for cancellation without penalty.
- Legal Review and Advice: Not every document is set in stone. It’s wise to have a professional review your contract.

Are You Really Ready to Buy?
It’s not just about having the money: the key is managing your investment wisely, anticipating your needs, and understanding your financial stability. Some important signs to consider:
- Have you calculated all additional costs (notary, taxes, registry, appraisal, renovations…)? These can add up to 10% or more of the purchase price.
- Is your mortgage burden within the recommended range (ideally no more than 30–35% of your net income)?
- Have you scheduled visits to several properties to make an informed decision?
