Answer

How can Mallorca prevent large property scams in the future?

Stronger checks by banks, clearer permit publication by municipalities, and more binding verification by notaries could reduce the risk. Better access to legal advice would also help buyers spot warning signs earlier. In Mallorca, the broader issue is not only punishment after the fact, but better safeguards before contracts are signed.
