The Balearic government are slowly turning the screw and making it difficult for foreigners to buy a home on the island. In the case of the British, the paperwork now involved to buy a home in Mallorca in this post-Brexit era, would keep a recycling plant busy for at least a day!
No sale
“This legislation will probably never come into force but it is another sign that buyers are not being welcomed with open arms”

Stephen PerrimanWell, good job Britain and Gibraltar have their shit together then. Enjoy your liberation from reality (while it lasts).
No it’s not false news as is standard procedure originally designed for property near military bases decades ago but never rescinded and all solicitor’s check this but for most properties it’s a tick box formality. But for many of us non resident Majorca property owners we have just sold and have bought in Gibraltar avoiding not only the crackpot government in Majorca but the chaos that will ensue next year with the new EES-Entry and exit system. This will make this years suitcase chaos seem like small fry. So thankfully we will not need to visit the EU again which has made our German and Spanish neighbours very envious that we have escaped from the bankrupt and corrupt EU.
'if a Briton wants to buy a home on Mallorca (non-resident), he or she must first ask the military for permission' This is false. Maybe in some extreme cases if the property is in certain areas, but in 99% of cases this is not true.
This sounds suspiciously like fake news. Or just more sensationalism.
