Answer

How can a property purchase in Mallorca go wrong so quickly?

A deal can look official on paper while key details are still being manipulated behind the scenes. Fraudsters may use convincing contracts, false payment instructions and pressure to move money before anything is properly checked. In Mallorca, the risk grows when buyers rely on email alone and do not verify the property, the seller and the payment route independently.
