Property lawyers for buying and selling in Mallorca
At Mallorca Solicitors, we advise you when you buy or sell a property in Mallorca, from the first review right through to completion, so you know where you stand legally and the obligations you are taking on.
Buying and selling
Legal advice for buying and selling in Mallorca
We review the transaction, check the available documentation and assess which legal issues need attention. Our advice can include due diligence, reservation agreements and arras deposit agreements, reviewing and negotiating contracts, coordinating the signing and any follow-up once the transfer is complete.
Getting involved from the start means problems can be identified while there is still time to resolve them or negotiate terms.
If you’re buying
A lawyer to help you buy a property in Mallorca
We review the transaction from the buyer’s point of view, checking what is actually being purchased, under what terms, and what obligations arise from the documents that will be signed.
Legal review of the property
We assess the property’s relevant documentation and any legal issues that could affect the purchase.
How far the assessment goes depends on the property and the transaction.
Reservations, arras deposit agreements and contracts
The first documents you sign can create obligations long before you get anywhere near the notary’s office.
We review and, where appropriate, negotiate reservation agreements, arras deposits and other agreements connected to the sale before you sign them.
Signing and completing the purchase
We coordinate the legal steps needed to reach completion, and we support you through the signing and any follow-up steps that may be required.
If you are selling
A lawyer to help you sell a property in Mallorca
We advise the owner by reviewing the property’s documentation, the terms the buyer is proposing and the contracts relating to the sale.
Preparing for the sale
We review the property’s paperwork to identify in advance any issues that could affect or delay the sale.
Contract review and negotiation
We analyse reservation agreements, arras deposit agreements and contracts to make sure the terms accurately reflect what has been agreed and the seller’s position.
Coordinating through to completion
We support the transaction legally through to completion and coordinate whatever is needed to finalise the transfer.
A property transaction starts before the notary appointment
Signing is the end, not the beginning, of the process.
Many important decisions are made earlier: when you accept a reservation, agree an arras deposit, review the property or settle the terms of the deal.
Having legal advice from those early stages means you can act before decisions become difficult to change.

Frequently asked questions about buying and selling property in Mallorca
When should I hire a lawyer to buy a property in Mallorca?
Ideally before you sign a reservation agreement, an arras deposit agreement or any document that creates obligations. The sooner the transaction is reviewed, the more room there is to identify issues, set conditions or negotiate.
What does a lawyer check before you buy a property in Mallorca?
It depends on the transaction, but may cover ownership of the property, any charges on it, the documentation available, contracts and other legal issues relevant to the purchase.
Is it worth having an arras deposit agreement reviewed before signing?
Yes, an arras deposit agreement can set out important financial commitments and conditions for both parties. It pays to know exactly what it means and to check that it correctly reflects what has been agreed before you sign.
What does a lawyer do when you sell a property in Mallorca?
They can review the property’s documentation, analyse and negotiate the contracts linked to the sale, and coordinate the legal side of the transaction through to completion.
What happens if a problem is found when the property is reviewed?
It depends on the nature of the issue and how far the transaction has progressed. Your lawyer can explain the implications and talk through the options with you before you continue.
Can Mallorca Solicitors handle the whole sale or purchase?
Yes, Mallorca Solicitors can support the transaction legally from the first checks and contracts through to coordinating the signing and any post-completion formalities.
Do you also advise on buying and selling different types of property?
Yes. Our advice is tailored to the property and the specific transaction, whether you are the buyer or the seller.
Can I contact Mallorca Solicitors if the transaction has already started?
Yes: although it is better to get involved before taking on commitments, we can also review a transaction that is already under way and work out which legal issues need attention.
