Palma on Trial: The Major Real Estate Fraud and the Question of Justice

Answer

How can buyers in Mallorca check if a property project is legally safe?

Buyers should verify that the building permit is in place, the land registry details match the contract, and the developer can prove legal ownership and planning rights. In Mallorca, it is also wise to have a lawyer review the paperwork before paying any deposit. If something is unclear or rushed, that is usually a warning sign.
