Where buyers get caught out
Front-line buildings in Talamanca can sit inside the Coastal Law easements, which limit works and enlargements. Buyers planning to combine flats, extend terraces or rebuild should know the limits before signing.

Coastal Law by the beach
The Coastal Law protects the beach and the land behind it. Existing buildings can be used and maintained, but new works may need authorisation from the coastal authority and enlargements may not be allowed. We check the official coastal boundary against the building. See coastal property in Ibiza.
Communities of owners
Beachfront buildings face high maintenance costs from salt and sun. We review community debts, approved levies and the condition of common areas before you buy, and allocate pending levies to the seller. See buying an apartment in Ibiza.
Rentals
Apartments in Talamanca cannot be let to tourists if they are in multi-family buildings. Villas need a valid licence. Long-term and seasonal letting are the alternatives. See tourist rental licences.

How we work with clients in Talamanca
Most of our clients in Talamanca 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 Eivissa or Santa Eulària des Riu, 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 planned to join two front-line flats in Talamanca into one large apartment. We checked the coastal boundary and the community statutes. The works were possible inside the flats but required the community's consent for the change in the building's division, which we obtained before the purchase.
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.
