Contracts
When you are looking to reserve and place an offer on a specific mallorca property please note that a one percent deposit is required. This will allow the legal representative to begin negotiating the contract. This particular contract will outline what the purchase details are, what specifically is being purchased at what price, and the responsible party for all costs. If the buyer is looking to fully close the deal, they can do so by submitting a full deposit of ten percent to remove the property from sale.

The contract that you enter
into will legally tie and bind both parties. If either party decides to back
out of the deal, the purchaser will forfeit the deposit or the seller will need
to pay back 2x the deposit.
The finalized contract will be
completed by a public notary to verify the legality of the sale. An “escritura”
then inscribes the property details.

When closing the lawyer will
assign an identification number which is required for large purchases and
taxes. He will then receive a copy of the “nota simpla” from the land registry
office in order to provide proof of ownership and the property area. Any liens
or payments will then be checked and verified. In addition, any future
developments in the area will be checked and verified to ensure the property
will not be adversely effected.

The “tax for property
transfers” in the Mallorca region is seven percent of the finalized price. An
additional half a percent is added if you purchase the property from a
developer. For commercial land or building purchases the rate is fifteen
percent. The last segment is a tax on the increased property value from the
last time of sale.
Additionally, the “notario” will charge about two percent for registration fee’s and the lawyer is going to charge an additional one percent. Charges could also come from your bank if applying for a mortgage.
