Son Fortuny: Does the buyer of the estate hold a community at the tap?

Answer

Can a new owner of a finca in Mallorca change access to a spring?

In principle, ownership can influence how water use is handled, especially if the rights are based on private arrangements. A buyer may be able to renegotiate contract terms or conditions of access unless there are legal protections or easements in place. That is why clear land and water rights are so important on Mallorca.
