Answer

Can original doors, tiles or carpentry be lost during house demolition in Mallorca?

Yes, original building elements can disappear quickly if demolition moves ahead before they are documented and secured. In Mallorca, that can include doors, wooden fittings, tiles or shutters that would be difficult to replace with the same character. Once removed, these details are often hard to recover.
