History

It was the first island conquered: Jean de Béthencourt landed in 1402 and Teguise served as capital for centuries, exposed to Berber raids. What defines today’s landscape came later: between 1730 and 1736 the Timanfaya eruptions buried eleven villages and a quarter of the island under lava. Farmers learned to grow crops in that volcanic gravel, and out of it came the vineyards of La Geria.

Results

One property, one listing (deduplicated by cadastral reference). Every listing shows whether it has a floor plan, how long the advertiser takes to reply and when it was last checked.

Holiday-rental traffic light · Law 6/2025

A 10% cap on the residential housing stock per municipality, 20% on the green islands (La Palma, La Gomera, El Hierro). Checked against the Canary Islands Tourism Registry.

What is a home worth across the eight islands?

An estimate from comparables in the catalogue, island by island, with the adjustment almost nobody shows: what you ask for, and what actually closes before a notary.

Investor mode

Gross yield per micro-zone computed on real notarial closing prices, not asking prices. Three scenarios, because Law 6/2025 changes which one is viable.

Method: notarial closing (Notaries 2025) + rents published on portals 2026

For professionals

The same estimate, with unlimited queries and a PDF report carrying the agency’s own branding, to take into a listing pitch.

The eight islands, one by one

Every island is a different market: its climate, its protected land, its holiday-rental quota and its kind of buyer. This is what a mainland portal will not tell you.

Protection designations: Spanish National Parks network, UNESCO and the World Network of Biosphere Reserves.

For agencies and independent advisers

Each plan switches on specific tools. Whatever is not in your plan stays visible, switched off, so you know what you are missing.

If the adviser leaves the agency

Their video is deactivated automatically and they decide whether to reactivate it with their new agency. Properties and enquiries stay with the agency: they belong to the business, not the person.
