Properties for sale in Tenerife

We maintain a curated portfolio of properties for sale across southern and western Tenerife: apartments in complexes with pools, villas with private pools, townhouses and building plots. Availability is updated continuously – when a listing disappears from the site, it has been reserved or sold. We also handle off-market listings that are never published online; if nothing here matches your brief, ask us for the current list.

EU citizens can buy property in Spain without restrictions. The standard path looks like this:

1. NIE number – the Spanish foreigner identification number, essential for any transaction (how to get one),
2. Reservation – the property comes off the market while the legal checks are carried out,
3. Arras contract – a deposit agreement governed by the Spanish civil code (reservation vs Arras – the differences),
4. Notarial deed and land registry entry – ownership is finalised.

We have described the whole process step by step in our guide Buying property in Tenerife – a step-by-step walkthrough. It is also worth budgeting from the outset for the transaction costs and taxes – roughly 10% on top of the price.

In Tenerife you can buy both resale properties – available immediately, often furnished and with a rental licence in place – and new developer projects, including off-plan investments with payments spread over the construction schedule. Each route carries a different risk profile and different formalities; we help you compare specific listings from both markets within a single search.

The safety baseline is: a current Nota Simple extract (ownership, mortgages, charges), a certificate confirming no debts to the community of owners, the IBI property tax paid up to date, the physical property matching the registry – and, if you plan short-term letting, the status of the tourist licence. We run these checks for our clients as standard, before any money changes hands.

From the first viewing to the handover of the keys, you deal with us in English – our team works in English, Polish and Spanish – and we translate and explain the Spanish paperwork as you go. We also help after completion: utilities, the community of owners, taxes and preparing the property for letting. Contact us – the advice is free, before you commit to anything.
