To achieve a correct conveyance of property in Mallorca it is essential hiring a specialist lawyer. But it is also essential that this lawyer is completely independent of the seller or the Real Estate Agent (hired and paid by the seller).
Note Real Estate Agent in Spain has nothing to see with a Broker in other countries. Hired (and been paid) by the vendor, Real Estate Agent will always look for vendor’s interests and if something goes wrong, he/she has no responsibility.
I offer the opportunity to test my work for free and get a free report on the potential risks of the property you want to buy.
