Before You Buy

Understanding a property’s legal and planning position

Before moving forward with a property, many buyers want to understand one simple but important question:

Is the property documented and authorised as it should be, and what does that mean for future use or possible changes?

In Sóller and the Tramuntana, this question can involve several layers.

What appears in the land registry? What appears in the cadastre? What licences or permissions exist? Have parts of the property been built or changed over time? Would future works, improvements or a pool be possible?

The buyer does not need to become an expert in these questions.

But the right questions should be asked early.

Many properties in this area are older, rural, protected or have evolved over time. That does not automatically mean there is a problem. It means the property should be clearly understood before the buying process moves too far forward.

Sóller Studio helps identify the points that deserve attention and when professional checks may be useful.

Some questions can be interpreted through local experience. Others should be confirmed by a lawyer, architect or technical specialist.

The aim is simple: clarity before commitment.
