How to Look After a Property in Mallorca (Owner’s Maintenance Guide)

Introduction

Owning a property in Mallorca comes with unique maintenance challenges.

From humidity and salt air to heavy summer usage, properties require regular care to stay in good condition and avoid costly repairs.
‍

Humidity & Damp Issues

Humidity is one of the biggest problems in Mallorca, especially in winter.

Common issues:

  • Damp patches on walls
  • Musty smells
  • Mould in poorly ventilated areas
    ‍

πŸ‘‰ Regular airing, dehumidifiers, and periodic checks are essential.
‍

Salt Air & Exterior Wear
‍

Properties near the coast are exposed to salt, which causes:

  • Rust on metal fixtures
  • Faster paint deterioration
  • Damage to outdoor furniture

πŸ‘‰ Regular cleaning and repainting help protect surfaces.
‍

Limescale & Water Systems
‍

Mallorca has hard water, leading to:
‍

  • Limescale build-up in taps and showers
  • Reduced water pressure
  • Damage to appliances

πŸ‘‰ Regular descaling and maintenance of water systems is required.
‍

Wear from Holiday Rentals
‍

Rental properties experience more intensive use:

  • Higher turnover of guests
  • Faster wear on furniture and appliances
  • Increased cleaning and laundry demands

πŸ‘‰ Regular inspections and proactive replacements maintain quality.
‍
