Case Snapshots

Short Examples from Daily Practice

Anonymized constellations from real estate mandates in Mallorca and Spain.

Dream House or Garage in the Registry?

Situation: A property was marketed as a house, but only a garage was registered in the land registry.

Approach: We reviewed notarial declarations, rezoning options and required building permits before signing.

Result: The clients identified significant cost risk early and could decide safely.

Special Assessments Found Before Purchase

Situation: Before purchase, planned refurbishments in the owners' association were not yet transparent.

Approach: We requested meeting minutes and clarified relevant points directly with the community.

Result: Financial consequences were realistically assessed and included in the purchase decision.

Older Building with ITE and Refurbishment Risk

Situation: For an older building, it was unclear whether an ITE inspection and measures were imminent.

Approach: We reviewed documentation on building condition and potential mandatory measures in advance.

Result: Clients gained clarity on effort, timeline and budget before proceeding.

Case Study

Case Study: Sold as a Home, Registered as a Garage
