Buying in Tenerife
Tenerife is really several markets on one island. The south, from Costa Adeje, Los Cristianos and Playa de las Américas to Golf del Sur and El Médano, is where most British buyers start: dependable sunshine, a calm sea and a well-established international community. The north, from Puerto de la Cruz to La Orotava, is greener and fresher, with lower-rise towns and a more Canarian feel. Santa Cruz and La Laguna are city life all year round, with the university, the hospitals and most of the island's jobs.
Below are the homes we have for sale on the island today, straight from our own listings. If you do not see what you are looking for, tell us what you need: an English-speaking agent from our Tenerife office will search with you, including homes shared by other Ziegel offices through our own MLS.

Frequently asked questions
Can foreigners buy property in Tenerife?
Yes. British and other foreign buyers purchase homes in Tenerife all the time. You will need an NIE, the identification number for foreigners in Spain, and in practice a Spanish bank account. Before signing, the notary checks that everything your purchase needs is in place.
Do I need to live in Spain to buy a home in Tenerife?
No. Many of our buyers purchase while living in the UK. Owning a home does not by itself give you the right to live in Spain: since Brexit, UK citizens follow the residence and visa rules set by the Spanish authorities.
Which taxes do I pay when buying in Tenerife?
On a resale home you pay the property transfer tax (ITP) set by the Canary Islands Government. On a new build you pay the Canary Islands indirect tax (IGIC) instead of VAT, plus stamp duty. The current rates are published by the Agencia Tributaria Canaria: check them there before you make an offer.
Can I get a Spanish mortgage as a non-resident?
Spanish banks do lend to non-residents, usually on different terms from residents. We work with partner mortgage brokers, OPENICI and REALISTA. Their study is free; if you then decide to hire the broker, there is a fee that the broker quotes you.
Will I deal with someone who speaks English?
Yes. An English-speaking agent from our Tenerife office looks after your search, the viewings and every step up to the notary.
