Legal advisory for construction and development projects in Mallorca

Managing a construction or renovation project in Mallorca involves more than coordinating schedules and budgets. Each decision, from land assessment to final registration, carries legal, technical, and financial implications.

Our role is to provide a robust legal framework, anticipate potential risks, and ensure that every stage of your project is compliant, secure, and aligned with your objectives.

Risks to be assessed before and during execution

Even the best-planned developments can encounter significant challenges if legal risks are not identified and managed early. Common issues include:

Unbalanced or incomplete construction and technical contracts
Permits that do not accurately reflect the project scope
Insufficient oversight of subcontractors, penalties, or timelines
Technical challenges without adequate legal safeguards
Obstacles in registering new build status or establishing horizontal property divisions

A thorough legal review at the outset helps prevent these risks, supporting informed decisions and a solid project foundation.

A clear legal framework for every stage

Every development project requires a methodical approach, tailored to its unique circumstances. Our legal support covers all key phases:

1. Legal and planning feasibility review. Comprehensive assessment of land or building status, including encumbrances, planning limitations, technical conditions, and ownership. Definition of the legal framework best suited to your objectives.

2. Contracts for technical teams and builders. Drafting and review of contracts for construction, architecture, site supervision, and project management, with clear provisions on timelines, penalties, changes, and guarantees.

3. Permits and regulatory compliance. Guidance on permit applications and review, ensuring all documentation meets legal requirements and project viability.

4. Legal assistance during construction. Ongoing legal oversight of contractual matters, project modifications, and disputes with professionals or suppliers.

5. Project closure and registration. Support through the declaration of new build status, condominium division (if applicable), land registry procedures, and cadastral regularisation. All formalities are meticulously documented and registered.

6. Preparation for sale or use. If the property is to be sold, we assist with deeds, guarantees, payments, and coordination with buyers. If retained, we ensure it is legally prepared for use or future transfer.
