Answer

Is it safe to use extension leads and extra wiring in Mallorca flats?

Extra cables and overloaded sockets can increase fire risk, especially in older flats where electrical systems may already be under pressure. They should not be treated as a permanent fix for missing sockets or poor wiring. If a home in Mallorca needs a lot of temporary cabling, it is worth having the electrical installation reviewed by a professional.
