What You Really Own – The Legal and Company Structure Behind Co-Ownership in Mallorca

Co-Ownership living in Palma de Mallorca - Living your Dream with Palmallorca

Real Ownership. Full Protection. Mallorca-Based.

When you co-own a home through Palmallorca, you don’t just get usage rights — you become a registered shareholder in a Mallorca-based Spanish company (S.L.) that owns the property.

It’s simple, transparent, and built around trust, clarity, and shared values — not vague agreements or complex structures.


100 Shares = 5 Weeks = 9.62% Ownership in a 1,040-Share Company

Each co-owned property is held by a newly created Spanish S.L. (Sociedad Limitada) with:

  • 1,040 total shares
    • 1,000 shares = 50 usage weeks (available to co-owners)
    • 40 shares = 2 weeks (retained by Mallorca Homebase S.L. for long-term support and value alignment)
  • 20 shares = 1 week
  • 100 shares = 5 weeks = 9.62% legal ownership

All shares are formally registered in the public company register and linked to individual owners or their EU-registered company.


Why the Company Is Based in Mallorca

Each S.L. is created for a single purpose: to own, manage, and improve one home on Mallorca — nothing more.

Its purpose includes:

  • Personal use by the owners
  • Legal short-term rentals (if permitted)
  • Group-approved upgrades to protect or increase value

The company lives where the home lives — so everything from building permits to service contracts is easier, faster, and more local.

It also means:

  • Legal, tax, and accounting processes are handled in Spain
  • Local service providers benefit from the co-ownership model
  • The home contributes to the Mallorcan economy all year

Who Can Co-Own?

Palmallorca welcomes co-owners from the EU/EEA, UK, USA, and Commonwealth countries (e.g. Australia, New Zealand, Canada).

These regions align naturally with:

  • Legal compliance
  • Fair play
  • Respect for group agreements
  • Contribution to local communities

Everyone signs the same documents. Everyone follows the same rules.

This isn’t about where you’re from — it’s about how you think and act as a co-owner.


What About Buyers from Other Countries?

Buyers from outside the regions above — such as Russia, China, Africa, or parts of Asia — may join only if all co-owners approve in writing before closing.

Latin American buyers are welcomed on a case-by-case basis.

Due to strong cultural and linguistic ties with Spain — and in many cases dual EU citizenship — co-ownership can work well when alignment is confirmed.

The key is not the passport — but the shared mindset.

We protect harmony and trust by ensuring that everyone in the group:

  • Respects the agreements
  • Aligns with the lifestyle and usage model
  • Acts in the interest of the group

Co-ownership is about long-term compatibility — not just financial investment.


Selling Your Shares Later

Selling is allowed — and straightforward — if the new buyer matches the original eligibility.

  • Buyers from approved regions follow a standard legal process
  • Buyers from outside must again be approved by all co-owners

The system protects resale value — without risking group stability.


Do You Need to Know Your Co-Owners?

Not necessarily. Most buyers don’t need to personally know the others — just that they’re verified, values-aligned, and compatible in usage.

Our surveys show this works for the majority.

If you want to co-own with friends or family, you can.

If not, we match you with others based on your Co-Owner Dream Profile — and manage all group dynamics neutrally.

A local administrator takes care of:

  • Bookings
  • Cleaning & maintenance
  • Rule enforcement & communication

So you can enjoy Mallorca — and your property — stress-free.
