Buying in Mallorca is not just about finding the right property — it is about knowing that what you are buying is legally sound, fiscally efficient, and priced correctly. Most buyers rely on the seller's agent, who has a structural conflict of interest. Benavides represents only the buyer.
Whether you are a Spanish resident, a European buyer relocating to Mallorca, or an international investor acquiring a second home, the legal and tax landscape in Spain has specific complexities that require specialist advice. From NIE application to post-signing IRNR obligations, we coordinate everything from a single point of contact.
What's included
What the service includes
Each element is part of a coordinated process, not isolated services.
Legal and Registry Due Diligence
We review the land registry extract, encumbrances, mortgages, liens, urban planning status and cadastral records before you sign anything.
Pre-Purchase Tax Analysis
We calculate the applicable ITP or VAT, stamp duty, and analyse whether personal or corporate purchase is more efficient in your specific case.
Independent Property Valuation
We issue a valuation based on real comparable transactions in the Mallorcan market, free from the bias of those who need to close the sale.
Negotiation and Representation
We represent you in price and terms negotiation with technical arguments and without the pressure of those paid on completion.
Complete Notarial Coordination
We prepare the documentation, coordinate with the notary and attend the signing. A single point of contact for the entire process.
Post-Purchase Management
NIE, bank account opening, utility registrations, annual IRNR filing and any administrative procedure following completion.
Why Benavides
The difference between an advisor and an agency
A real estate agency earns its commission when the sale closes. That means their incentive is for you to buy, not to buy well. At Benavides we charge fixed fees for analysis and representation work, which structurally places us on the buyer's side. Our team also includes lawyers specialising in property law and tax advisors experienced in international transactions — a combination no agency can offer.

FAQ
Direct answers to the most common questions
If you have further questions, feel free to contact us directly.
We work with fixed fees per project, not percentages of the purchase price. A complete due diligence with recommendation report typically ranges between €1,500 and €3,500 depending on the complexity of the transaction. For high-value investments, this cost represents a minimal fraction of the asset value and can save you from problems that cost far more.
