Arrest in Santanyí: How vulnerable is Mallorca's real estate market to fraud?

Answer

Can banks in Mallorca detect fraudulent property deals?

Banks usually check creditworthiness and land registry details, but they may not always detect whether renovation claims or company structures are genuine. That means a deal can still look legitimate on paper even if parts of it are questionable. Buyers should not assume that a bank review is enough on its own.
