Property in Mallorca: what to know before you buy
Here you will find the topics that come up most often in my conversations with buyers, builders and owners.
What we talk about
What no brochure will tell you
Mallorca has its own rules, and many of them are unfamiliar to buyers from abroad. In a personal conversation we go through the points that matter for your plans.
The legal situation
Do the land registry and the cadastre match? Is everything on the plot actually permitted? With fincas on rural land in particular, it pays to look closely.
How the purchase works
Reservation, private contract, notary appointment, entry in the land registry. I explain what happens when and who is responsible for what.
Taxes and additional costs
On top of the price come transfer tax, notary and registry fees, and later the annual charges. You should plan with these figures from the start.
Locations and prices
Calvià, Santa Ponsa, Port Adriano or Andratx in the southwest are completely different from the east or the inland villages. Together we look at which area suits you and what a realistic price is there.
Finding the right agent
In Mallorca almost anyone can work as an estate agent. I tell you how to recognise a good one and which questions to ask.
Building and renovation
What can you build on a plot, what does a renovation really cost and how long does it take? And who keeps an eye on the site when you are not here? Experience counts most here.
Rentals and house care
No licence, no holiday rental. And if you don't live on the island, you need reliable house care for the house, pool and garden.
