Buying a property can be one of the most important decisions we make in our lives and knowing how long it will take to find their ideal home is a matter of concern for many buyers.

Mallorca, the largest island of the Balearic archipelago, has a consolidated real estate market. It has an active local market, and is one of the preferred islands for investors, for those who buy a second residence and for tourists.

Iñaki Barredo, a Real Estate Buyer’s Agent in Mallorca, explains why you have to be careful with the square metres of a property.
