Your dream, your home Extraordinary Real Estate WELCOME It is an honour to present to you the island of MENORCA, from the renowned brand SO- THEBY'S INTERNATIONAL REALTY. This honour comes from the quality of the brand and of our island, and from the possibility of discovering the opportunity to visit our island. Unity, passion, commitment, and respect are the qualities which define the brand and its team in the Balearic Islands, as well as the push to expand and strengthen the brand. These qualities are here to stay, making MENORCA the most unique place in Europe to explore. Magical, historically sought after by world powers, filled with pre-historic Talaiots, Taulas, and other monuments (navetas, villages, dolmens, etc.), clean and clear, beautiful across the entire island, where every part of the island stands out: the sky, whether on a starry night or lit up by the sun... Thanks to its people, the identity of Menorca has been preserved, along with its inland scenery and coastal landscapes, its many beaches and natural bays, and its properties, revealing at every turn its atmosphere and environment. This brought about its recognition and continuation as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 1985, and its strong candidacy as a world heritage site. This short letter of introduction offers you the island with the exclusivity for which you have undoubtedly been searching. We would like to welcome you to the new headquarters of Sotheby’s International Realty, and personally show you everything about our island that you shouldn't miss. CARLOS MACEDA Managing Director MENORCA SOTHEBY’S INTERNATIONAL REALTY 3 BIENVENIDOS Es un honor presentarles la isla de MENORCA a través de una marca de tanto renombre como SOTHEBYS INTERNATIONAL REALTY. Y es un honor procedente de la calidad, tanto de la marca y de nuestra isla, como de los que podáis descubrir la oportunidad de aterrizar o atracar en ella. Y es que las características de unidad, pasión, compromiso y respeto que definen a la marca y su equipo en las Baleares, así como el empuje de expansión y consolidación de la misma, han venido para que- darse, para sumar en MENORCA su singularidad más cercana a Europa por conocer. Mágica, históricamente ansiada por las potencias mundiales y pre-históricacamente repleta de Talaiots, Taulas y otros monumentos Prehistóricos (navetas, pobla- dos, dólmenes, etc.), limpia y transparente, homogénea, donde cualquier lugar de la isla es protagonista: su cielo, su noche estrellada y su luz. Gracias a su gente, Menorca ha conservado su identidad, sus paisajes de interior y de costa, sus muchas playas y calas naturales, y sus propiedades, mostrando en cada rincón su atmósfera y su ambiente. Esto se ha traducido en el reconocimiento y continuación como reserva de la biosfera de la UNESCO desde 1985, y en ser una firme can- didata para ser Patrimonio de la Humanidad. Todo ello le otorga, como carta de presentación ante uste- des, la exclusividad que sin duda estaban buscando. Ahora buscamos acogerles en la nueva sede de So- SalesIsabel Manager Moll ManagingCarlos Director,Maceda 4 BIENVENUE C’est un honneur de vous présenter l’île de MINORQUE à travers une marque aussi renommée que SOTHEBY'S INTERNATIONAL REALTY.

Property purchase is very straightforward in Mallorca and with our support you can rest assured that the process will be conducted professionally and correctly. Our experienced team handles negotiations between buyer and seller, answering all queries along the way, and the purchase can be broken down into three basic stages: 1. OFFER AND ACCEPTED OFFER The buyer places a non-binding offer which our team negotiates with the vendor. When the offer is accepted, a reservation deposit is paid to take the property off the market. We then guide you through the process and prepare a Private Option Contract. 2. PRIVATE OPTION CONTRACT When the lawyers have confirmed that the legal position of the property is correct, the Option Contract is drawn up and signed by both buyer and seller. If any irregularities are discovered, that directly affect the property, the buyer can withdraw and the reservation deposit will be returned. If all is in order, 10% of the agreed purchase price is usually paid by the buyer (to include the reservation deposit). This Contract is then binding and locks in both parties - if the buyer withdraws, )he/she forfeits the deposit. 10 3. COMPLETION 2. URBAN RATE (IBI) 5.
