Purchasing a property in Mallorca, whether it’s a new home, a holiday retreat, or an investment opportunity, is one of life’s most significant decisions. The process can be complex and challenging, from dealing with intricate legal frameworks to addressing tax implications or planning restrictions.

Regardless of the type or purpose of a property, the purchase requires strategic and thoughtful legal advice. This starts with the transaction, from knowing exactly what is being bought, through to comprehensive analysis of the legal and practical issues – including everything from heritage property challenges or other planning restrictions, to dealing with tax liabilities, like Capital Gains Tax and Stamp Duty Land Tax. Beyond the transaction, it is essential to make sure the property is properly integrated into a family’s wider estate planning, thinking about appropriate holding structures and long-term protection for the family. From making an offer to putting the key in the door, there is a lot of work to do and our lawyers can help get it right.

Our Real Estate lawyers in Mallorca will take care of the property transaction process, whilst working alongside our Private Wealth team to ensure the purchase integrates into wider estate planning. Every property project is unique and we have specialist lawyers in planning, construction, rural and heritage property to advise on the issues that may arise.
