Where buyers get caught out
Homes on the edge of the natural park can look like ordinary country houses, but protection rules severely limit works and changes of use. And properties close to the airport may be affected by aviation easements on heights and uses.

The natural park and protected land
The Ses Salines Natural Park, between Ibiza and Formentera, protects the salt pans, beaches and wetlands. Properties within or near it are subject to strict rules on works and uses. We check the protection status before you buy. See planning lawyer in Ibiza.
Close to the airport
Being near Ibiza's airport is practical, but properties may be affected by aviation easements, which limit building heights and certain installations, and by noise. We check the relevant restrictions with the planning file.
Homes for residents
Sant Jordi is home to many families who work in Ibiza Town and Playa d'en Bossa. We help with purchases, mortgages, long-term leases and family matters. See property lawyer in Ibiza and landlord and tenant law.

How we work with clients in Sant Jordi
Most of our clients in Sant Jordi 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, 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. A buyer wanted to build a second floor on a house near Sant Jordi. We checked the planning rules and the aviation easements linked to the airport. The second floor was not permitted at that height, so the buyer negotiated the price on the basis of the existing house only.
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.
