Contrato de Arras in Mallorca: What Buyers Really Need to Know

Answer

What happens if a buyer cancels a Mallorca property purchase after signing Arras?

With the most common penitential Arras, the buyer normally loses the deposit if they withdraw without a valid contractual reason. If the seller cancels, they usually must return double the deposit. The exact outcome depends on how the contract is written, so the wording matters a great deal.
