Answer

Why are property restrictions for non-residents being discussed in Mallorca?

The debate is mainly about Mallorca’s housing shortage and the growing difficulty for local people to find an affordable home. Some proposals aim to make certain purchases more expensive or limit access to housing when it is bought for tourist use or by buyers without residence in the Balearic Islands.
