Buying a property in Mallorca works differently from buying in the UK or Germany: the notary does not act in your interest, the preliminary contract (Arras) commits you to a substantial deposit, and without an NIE number you cannot sign a thing. Knowing the process, the taxes, and the typical pitfalls is what makes for a safe purchase.
In this section you will find in-depth guides covering every step — from the buying process and purchase costs through to financing and the notary appointment. All articles reflect the legal and tax position as at 2026.
