Eviction in Palma: What remains after the 'House of Horrors'?

Answer

Why do some vacant buildings in Mallorca become occupied for years?

Vacant buildings can remain unused for a long time when ownership is unclear, developers go insolvent, or repairs are delayed. In Mallorca, that kind of legal and practical limbo can attract squatters and make a property difficult to recover. Once a building is left without a clear plan, the problems often become harder to solve.
