Answer

How can a house sale in Mallorca go wrong even if it is notarised?

A notarised sale confirms the transfer of ownership, but it does not automatically guarantee that every payment is handled correctly after the signing. If the purchase money is paid into a company account, problems can still arise if that account is not monitored closely. The Santa Ponça case is a reminder that legal paperwork and financial control are not the same thing.
