When the Security Deposit Becomes a Dilemma: Arras, a Berlin Court and a Mallorca Villa

Answer

Why is property law in Calvià sometimes different from what foreign buyers expect?

Calvià, like other parts of Mallorca, follows Spanish property law and local contract practice, which can differ from what foreign buyers know at home. Deposits, withdrawal rights, and jurisdiction clauses may work in ways that feel unfamiliar to buyers from Germany or elsewhere. That is why local advice is important before committing to a purchase.
