Answer

What should you check before buying a villa in Mallorca as an investment?

Buyers should look closely at whether the property is being sold as a home, a tourist asset or a development project. In Mallorca, the legal use, licence status and neighbourhood context can all affect the value and future restrictions. It is also worth checking whether the area is under pressure from planning rules or resident opposition.
