Where buyers get caught out
Older villas in Cala en Porter often had terraces enclosed or rooms added over the years. When heirs sell, nobody may know which parts were licensed, and the buyer inherits the uncertainty.

How we work with clients in Cala en Porter
Most of our clients in Cala en Porter are international buyers, owners and residents who prefer to deal with their lawyer in English or German. We start with a call or video call, review the documents you send us and give you a written proposal with the scope and fees before any work starts. We deal with the town hall of Alaior, the Consell Insular de Menorca, the notaries and the Land Registry, and with the courts of Maó or Ciutadella when a matter has to go to court. If you live abroad, a power of attorney lets us act for you at every step, and you receive written updates after each one.
An illustrative example
Based on situations we commonly see; not a specific client. Heirs in Scotland sold their parents' villa in Cala en Porter. We processed the inheritance, documented the age of an enclosed terrace and completed the sale with the buyer's lawyer satisfied.
