Where people get caught out
Apartment buyers in Playa d'en Bossa are often told about rental yields based on holiday lets that are not legally possible. Business buyers pay premiums for beach operations whose licences or concessions do not cover what is actually done.

Apartments and investment
An apartment in Playa d'en Bossa can work as a home or a long-term or seasonal rental, but not as a holiday let if it is in a multi-family building. Some units in tourist complexes are part of hotel or tourist apartment operations with their own rules. We check which applies before you buy. See buying an apartment in Ibiza.
Beach and nightlife businesses
Restaurants, bars and beach clubs depend on activity licences, terraces, music authorisations and, on the beach, concessions. We review them before any premium is paid. See commercial property in Ibiza.
Visitors in trouble
Arrests after incidents at clubs, fights, drug offences and drink-driving are dealt with by the duty court in Ibiza Town. Detainees have the right to a lawyer of their choice and an interpreter. See criminal lawyer in Ibiza.

How we work with clients in Playa d'en Bossa
Most of our clients in Playa d'en Bossa are international buyers, owners and residents who prefer to deal with their lawyer in English or German. We start with a call or video call, review the documents you send us and give you a written proposal with the scope and fees before any work starts. We deal with the town hall of Sant Josep de sa Talaia or Eivissa, the Consell d'Eivissa, the notaries and the Land Registry, and with the courts in Ibiza Town when a matter has to go to court. If you live abroad, a power of attorney lets us act for you at every step, and you receive written updates after each one.
An illustrative example
Based on situations we commonly see; not a specific client. An investor was offered a unit in a Playa d'en Bossa complex with a guaranteed holiday rental income. The building turned out to be residential, so holiday rental was not permitted. We advised against the purchase on those terms, and the investor chose a long-term rental property instead.
Before you sign or pay, ask a lawyer
Send us the document, the listing or a short summary of the problem. A lawyer will tell you what matters, what it could cost you and what to do next.
