Using a solicitor in Mallorca to buy a property

Written by admin on March 24, 2014

At Palma Lawyer, we have a team of property law solicitors. They are available to help you with your property purchase on Mallorca, Ibiza or Menorca.

Call us for a quick chat first, so that we can discuss how we can best help you. If, after your initial free consultation, you decide that you would like us to handle your property matter, we will then be able to help in the following areas:

Pre-purchase advice: We will check the legal registration of the property / land involved. We will also run legal checks on any local planning matters that may affect your decision to proceed.

Planning law: Our advisors will advise on any planning matters so that you can avoid any potential issues.

Financial services: We are able to help you with tax planning, advice on other financial matters, mortgages and getting the best deal for a currency transfer.

Property conveyancing: We manage all of the legal paperwork involved in a property sale or purchase. That’s everything from an agreement to buy (an option contract) through to the final element of contract exchange in the notary’s office.

Following the sale or purchase: If you have used us to sell, we transfer your funds in any currency to any account that you request. If you buy, we will help with all aspects of owning a property in Mallorca, Ibiza or Menorca.

Amnesty to legalize properties in Mallorca, Ibiza & Menorca

Written by admin on March 21, 2014

There is a potential amnesty for legalization of approximately 30,000 homes in The Balearics, where they are constructed on Balearic Rural Land ( LOUS)

It is estimated that about 1,000 properties in Ibiza , and roughly 30,000 homes on Mallorca, may be able to take advantage of a 3 year amnesty that is about to be launched.

The plan is for a new legal system, for the regulation of rural land, where there is the possibility for property owners to legalize building work undertaken, where permission was neither sought, nor granted. This could include house extensions, swimming pools, terraces or basements.

This is not planned to apply to properties in areas where they are protected by the Law of Natural Areas, which goes back to 1991, and it’s not for buildings of less than 8 years in age.

Palma Lawyer will be on hand to advise whether your property might be included in the planned amnesty.

Contact us for a free consultation.

Here’s what we will be able to do for you, if we believe your case applies:

Analyse your case.

We review your case, and discuss the technicalities with an architect

Organise for the payment of any sanctions or stamp duty

Because the property has been improved, we will arrange for the necessary licences from the council. We will also arrange for the payment of any outstanding stamp duty. Finally, we will assess the cost of any sanction. This is usually 15% of the value of the home, or installation, if this is processed in the first year. After that, the cost rises.

Oversee any technical work needed in construction

If there’s any construction work required to adapt, or improve, the property we will oversee it. This is likely to be required in order to obtain a housing certificate for things like a sceptic tank.

The paperwork: Registration with the Property Registration Office

We will prepare the Declaration of Works so that the Land registry can be altered to reflect the legal changes. We then attend the Property Registry Office and the Land Registry Office. If there is minor work to be changed, this can be done by us at the Town hall.
