- Renovation and construction projects: coordinating architects, licences and builders.
- Spanish law for private clients: inheritance, contracts and family matters.
- Buying country homes and fincas in Fornalutx, with a full check of title, charges and boundaries.
- Urban planning: what can and cannot be built or legalised on rustic land in the Serra de Tramuntana.
Rustic land in Fornalutx
Much of the land around Fornalutx is classified as rustic land (suelo rústico), where building rules are far more restrictive than in urban areas. Before signing anything, we check that the house, pool and any extensions were built with the corresponding licences, that the description in the Land Registry and the Cadastre matches reality, and that there are no planning infringement proceedings open.
We also review access, boundaries, easements, mortgages and outstanding local taxes, so you know exactly what you are buying and can negotiate with full information.
Holiday rentals in Fornalutx
Many buyers in Fornalutx plan to rent their property to holidaymakers. In the Balearic Islands this activity requires registration in the tourist register, and depending on the type of property and its location it may be limited or not permitted at all, so it cannot be taken for granted when buying.
We check the rental possibilities of a property before you commit, review the contracts with rental managers and advise on the tax obligations of the income obtained, both for residents and for non-residents.
In the Serra de Tramuntana, a UNESCO World Heritage cultural landscape, planning protection is especially strict, which makes this legal review even more important.
Every matter is led by one lawyer who supervises each phase and brings in the firm’s specialists in property, planning, tax, corporate, immigration or criminal law when they are needed. We work in English, Spanish and German.
