Building a house in Mallorca means coordinating plot, design, budget, permits and construction<\/strong>. The physical build usually takes between twelve and eighteen months, but the process starts much earlier and doesn\u2019t end until the home can legally be occupied.<\/p>\n\n\n

  1. 01<\/b>Plot<\/strong>Check whether it allows the home.<\/span><\/li>
  2. 02<\/b>Design and permit<\/strong>Define the house and apply for authorisation.<\/span><\/li>
  3. 03<\/b>Measurements<\/strong>Define scope and budget.<\/span><\/li>
  4. 04<\/b>Construction<\/strong>Carry out and certify the work.<\/span><\/li>
  5. 05<\/b>Handover<\/strong>Complete the occupancy documents.<\/span><\/li><\/ol>

    The plot comes first because it shapes the design, cost and permits. Some preparation phases can overlap.<\/p>\n\n\n

    How do you know whether a plot in Mallorca can be built on?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The answer isn\u2019t just in the Land Registry (Catastro). Before considering a plot viable, we check that planning rules allow residential use, how much can be built and whether the land meets the conditions to obtain a permit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
