Buying rural land in Mallorca: documents before a project

An agricultural parcel, a plot with a submitted planning application and a property with an approved basic project are different purchases. Start with the legal and physical identity of the land and your intended use. Neither a large area nor an existing shed proves that a new dwelling is permitted.

Identify the exact land

Request current registry information, cadastral references and a plan showing boundaries and access. Establish whether the offer is one registered property, several parcels or an alternative individual/combined sale. Have discrepancies between measured, cadastral and registered areas explained before agreeing a price or committing funds.

Ask what is approved, and by whom

Obtain the actual planning decision and its conditions, not only a rendering or architect’s drawing. Distinguish submission, basic-project approval, execution requirements and permission to begin work. An independent architect and lawyer should verify the current position with the competent authority, including protected-land, flood, road and access constraints.

Verify services and existing structures

Check the legal status of wells, electricity, wastewater systems, buildings and access rights. A nearby power line does not establish an active supply or a fixed connection cost. A building appearing in the Cadastre does not, by itself, demonstrate planning compliance. Make each uncertainty explicit in the due diligence and the proposed contract.

Read the current offers by their stated status

Es Revellar is advertised with an approved basic project and further execution requirements. The Son Valls house-and-pool project is submitted, with its licence not yet granted. The separate Son Valls agricultural offer is non-buildable land in a flood-risk zone. Compare the linked fiches and supporting documents rather than treating all three as interchangeable building plots.

Properties and local information

Official reference

Use this checklist to prepare questions for your independent legal and technical advisers. The property's documents and current official decisions determine the position in each case.
