20 years living (and working) in Mallorca
We're a small crew who's spent two decades helping people from abroad actually settle on the island. No detours, no hidden fees, and WhatsApp always open.
Mallorca Local Dudes was born from our own newcomer messes: endless queues at the foreigners' office, a rented flat that turned out to be illegal, bills in a Catalan we couldn't decode. Twenty years on, we know every friendly clerk, every trustworthy notary and every legal shortcut on the island.
We queue at the foreigners' office for you. NIE, TIE, municipal registration, social security number — the whole bureaucratic circus, sorted without you losing a single afternoon.
We know every town on the island and which agencies inflate prices the moment they hear a foreign accent. We take you to see real places, at real prices.
If you're going to work or start something here, the Spanish tax office speaks its own language. We translate it and keep your books so no nasty surprise turns up in the mail.
Enrolling the kids, booking your first health centre appointment, registering the car... the real landing, not the postcard version. We're with you through the first weeks.
For residents who've already settled in Mallorca and want their property and belongings properly cared for, even when they're not around.
Regular checks on your home while you travel, plus a trusted local contact for anything that comes up.
Water chemistry, cleaning and equipment checks, so your pool is ready whenever you are.
Regular upkeep, irrigation and seasonal planting to keep your garden thriving in the Mediterranean climate.
ITV appointments, servicing and upkeep for cars left unused for long stretches.
Berth checks, engine care and cleaning so your boat is always ready to sail.
We review the services your current providers are billing you for and confirm you're actually getting what you pay for.
"We arrived from Munich without a word of Spanish, and in three weeks we had our NIE, a flat in Santa Catalina and the kids enrolled in school. I wish we'd found them on day one."
"What I appreciate most is that they never oversold us. If something couldn't be done quickly, they told us straight. That's worth more than a thousand pretty promises."
"Setting up my diving business in Port d'Andratx looked impossible from the outside. They'd already done the same paperwork twenty times before. You can tell."
No endless forms. With this much we already know where to start, and we'll write back with next steps — no strange commitments attached.
