Where clients get caught out
In Binissalem, fincas sold as 'ready to move in' sometimes include a guest house or a pool with no licence on rustic land. It is the buyer who later faces the fine or the refusal of a mortgage.
Fincas and village houses in Binissalem
Binissalem combines village townhouses with fincas between the mountains and the plain. On rustic land, only the buildings with a licence or old enough to be protected from planning action are safe; pools and guest houses added later are a common problem. We check each building before you sign. See buying a finca.
