Surveyors in Mallorca

[rivalranger]

Hello,

Has anyone had experiences they wish to share of surveyors in Mallorca ? I am possibly looking for a pre-purchase survey so recommendations or warnings much appreciated !

Thanks!

Based on experience three years ago the assumption SEEMED to be that if you were considering buying a boat in Majorca then you had money to throw away.

Turned out to be VERY much cheaper to go across mid-week and do the job one-self...and no little get-outs of "not tested", etc.etc. which to me makes the whole process pointless.

I do appreciate the Insurance company angle, so why not talk to them first as to how long since last survey etc.. before they need another one. If you are going to keep the boat over there, it may pay to go to the mainland and get a surveyor there. You can fly from Barcelona to Palma Majorcafor as little as €30 with Iberia. It may also pay you to insure over in Spain.

Hope this helps
