Answer

Is it normal to pay a Mallorca builder in advance?

Some advance payment can be normal, but it should be limited and clearly justified. For Mallorca property work, it is safer to link payments to milestones and, when possible, use a bank guarantee or escrow arrangement. Large upfront sums without protection increase the risk if the project goes wrong.
