Off-market Mallorca.
The best restaurants, hotels, fincas and estates on the island rarely reach a listing. They change hands quietly, between people who know each other. Nine Bar sources them for you, checks the numbers, makes the introduction and negotiates, then introduces the operators, designers and suppliers who make day one work.

How it works.
- 1. Brief
- What you want, where, your budget, how you will use it and when. Under a mutual NDA from the first message.
- 2. Search
- Jamie works the network quietly: owners, operators, landlords, investors, interior designers and suppliers across the island. Nothing is advertised and nobody is told who you are.
- 3. Shortlist
- Only opportunities that fit the brief, each with a first look at the numbers: trading history, margins, lease, licences and what it really costs to run.
- 4. Approach
- A discreet introduction to the owner, and negotiation on your side of the table.
- 5. Completion
- The purchase completes through your lawyer and notary, with your gestor on tax, and a registered estate agent where the law requires one.
- 6. Day one
- Introductions to the operators, interior designers, builders and suppliers to open, reposition or run it. If you want more, the same work on openings and numbers carries on from there.

Questions buyers ask.
What does off-market mean in Mallorca?
A business or property sold privately, without public listings or portals. In Mallorca many of the best restaurants, hotels, fincas and estates change hands this way, because owners want discretion and buyers come through people they trust. Reaching them takes a network on the island.
How do I buy a restaurant or bar in Mallorca?
Most are sold as a traspaso: you pay the outgoing owner for the business, its fittings and the right to take over the lease, then sign a new or assigned lease with the landlord. Check the activity licence, the lease terms and length, the real trading figures and any debts before agreeing a price. Nine Bar sources the opportunity and tests the numbers; your lawyer handles the contracts.
Can foreigners buy a business, hotel or finca in Mallorca?
Yes. Buyers need an NIE, a Spanish bank account and a lawyer, and businesses are often bought through a Spanish SL. Rural land and buildings come with planning rules on what can be built and run, so check them before you commit.
Is Nine Bar an estate agent?
No. Nine Bar is a consultant acting for the buyer: finding off-market opportunities, testing the numbers and negotiating. Purchases complete through your lawyer and notary, and through a registered estate agent wherever the law requires one.
Who does Nine Bar act for?
Only the buyer. There is no success fee and no commission from sellers, so Nine Bar has no reason to push you towards any one deal. The work covers the brief, the search, the shortlist with the numbers checked, the approach and negotiation, and the introductions afterwards. Answer a few questions to see it.
Can you help after I buy?
Yes. Jamie introduces the operators, interior designers, builders and suppliers to open or reposition the business, and and the same work on numbers and openings can carry on from there.
