Independent English-speaking lawyers for international clients along the Costa Cálida — the coastline of the Region of Murcia — covering property, conveyancing, new build and off-plan, visas, tax, wills, inheritance, NIE, Power of Attorney and cross-border legal support.
We act for buyers, sellers, investors, retirees and non-resident owners across the Mar Menor, La Manga, San Javier, Los Alcázares, San Pedro del Pinatar, Cartagena, Mazarrón and Águilas, plus the coastal golf resorts — with the correct Murcia tax handling (resale ITP 7.75%).
Speak to an independent English-speaking lawyer before you sign, pay a deposit or commit. The notary does not act for the buyer — independent legal review is your protection.
The Costa Cálida — the “warm coast” of Murcia — runs from the Mar Menor and La Manga down to Mazarrón and Águilas. It is a value-led market of beach apartments, villas and golf resorts with a large international community. Our role is to give international clients independent legal advice in plain English before they sign, pay a deposit or commit.
Full buyer- and seller-side conveyancing across the coast. See Spanish property & conveyancing.
Developer-contract, bank-guarantee and licence review. See new build & off-plan.
Resort community statutes, fees and golf-rights structures across the coastal resorts.
NIE applications and Power of Attorney for remote completion.
Spanish wills, inheritance acceptance and probate for cross-border estates.
Non-resident tax, holiday-let compliance and ownership planning.
Digital Nomad Visa and Non-Lucrative Visa, coordinated with the purchase.
Legal focus: apartments, villas, community statutes, tourist-rental rules, new build and remote purchases.
We also act across La Manga del Mar Menor, Cabo de Palos, Islas Menores and Mar de Cristal.
The Mar Menor golf developments combine resort apartments and villas with community and golf-rights structures we review in detail.
Costa Cálida files often involve issues a buyer never sees without independent review:
The notary does not act for the buyer. Independent legal review is what confirms whether the property is safe to buy and whether it fits your plan.
Book a Pre-Purchase ReviewWe handle the full purchase process for international buyers:
For resident and non-resident sellers: the 3% non-resident retention, capital gains tax, plusvalía, community certificate, mortgage cancellation and notary completion — remotely under Power of Attorney where needed.
We review the developer contract, payment schedule, bank guarantees (Law 38/1999), building and first-occupation licences, snagging and the IVA + AJD position before any money changes hands.
The Costa Cálida is in the Region of Murcia, which sets its own transfer-tax rate:
Murcia ITP at 7.75% of the declared price on resale property.
New build is taxed instead at 10% IVA + AJD 1.5% — not ITP.
Owners file annual Modelo 210, plus quarterly returns on rental income.
Budget roughly 10–12% on top of the price — set out in writing before you commit.
Many Costa Cálida buyers also need immigration support. We coordinate the property purchase with the residency and tax side:
For non-working residents living on savings or pensions. See our NLV service.
For remote workers and the self-employed. See our DNV service.
The NIE, residence card and town-hall registration for new residents.
Spanish tax-residency planning and a Spanish will, set up alongside the purchase.
On any Costa Cálida purchase: who is your lawyer actually working for?
We are an independent law firm — not owned by, tied to, or operated by any estate agency. We act for you.
On new build the developer’s legal team represents the developer. We review their paperwork on your behalf.
We act for buyer or seller — never both sides of the same transaction.
We routinely complete under bilingual notarised Power of Attorney.
One firm for conveyancing, tax and residency — handled as a single workflow.
Every step explained clearly, with the scope agreed in writing before we start.

Yes. We routinely complete purchases using a bilingual notarised Power of Attorney, so you do not need to travel to Spain to sign.
Yes. We act across the coastal golf resorts — Roda, La Torre, Hacienda Riquelme, Santa Rosalía and Condado de Alhama — reviewing the resort community statutes, fees and any golf-rights structures.
Often yes. Short-let requires registration under the Region of Murcia tourist-rental regime, and the community statutes must permit it. We confirm both before you buy.
