Specialised legal guidance for real estate transactions in Mallorca

Buying or selling property in Mallorca involves far more than signing a contract. Each transaction requires sound judgement, legal expertise and structured support to ensure full protection from the outset.

From our experience, the first step is to identify potential risks, structure the deal with precision and safeguard your interests at every stage—whether you are buying or selling. We do this with clarity, efficiency and a commitment to legal certainty.

Risks that should be assessed before signing

Some transactions may appear straightforward, but often involve legal aspects that, if not identified in time, can lead to complications or even future liabilities.
These are some of the issues we commonly detect at an early stage:

  • Undisclosed encumbrances, easements or planning restrictions
  • Missing permits or unauthorised land use
  • Vague or unbalanced clauses that weaken your legal position
  • Mistakes in tax withholdings or pending declarations
  • Breaches affecting payment terms or the delivery of the property

Sellers may also face post-closing liabilities, such as claims for defects or hidden damage, or consequences arising from tax obligations that were not properly fulfilled.
This is why we approach each transaction with a comprehensive legal perspective, anticipating contingencies and structuring the process so you can make confident, well-informed decisions.

A clear legal structure for each transaction

Every property transaction requires both rigour and adaptability. Our method combines thorough legal review with efficient execution, always focused on protecting your interests—wherever you are based.

1.    Initial review and legal strategy

We examine the available documentation and the context of the deal. From the outset, we identify relevant risks and define a legal strategy suited to your circumstances.

2.    Complehensive legal due diligence: civil, registry, planning, tax and administrative

We conduct a full analysis across all relevant areas of law, including property title, encumbrances, licences, easements and any legal or planning aspects that may affect the asset or the transaction.

3.    Contracts that are clear, balanced and secure

We draft or review all key documents (reservation, deposit, purchase agreement), negotiating legal terms that protect your interests and reflect a fair allocation of obligations and guarantees.

4.    Notarial coordination and formal execution

We manage all formal steps, including powers of attorney, signing, payments, taxes and registration. If you are not in Spain, the transaction can be completed remotely with full legal oversight and transparency.

5.    Post-closing support and ongoing assistance

Our involvement does not end at signing. We remain at your side for any post-completion matters, such as notifications, follow-up claims or administrative formalities.
