Legal Help on La Manga

Legal support for La Manga's resort community

La Manga del Mar Menor is a 22-kilometre sandbar separating the Mediterranean from the Mar Menor lagoon — one of Spain's most distinctive resort destinations. The strip is lined with apartment blocks, resort complexes, marinas and sports facilities, attracting a large international community of second-home owners, seasonal residents and increasingly year-round expats.

Platinum Legal Spain provides a full English-speaking legal service for La Manga and the wider Mar Menor area. Whether you're buying a resort apartment, a marina-front property, a villa overlooking the lagoon, or need a Spanish will, visa or tax filing — we handle everything in plain English, at a fixed fee.

Everything is delivered online through secure video consultations and our encrypted document portal. Most of our La Manga work is completed remotely — you can instruct us from the UK, Ireland, Scandinavia or anywhere else.

La Manga Legal Landscape

What makes La Manga legal cases different

La Manga is in the Region of Murcia autonomous community — with its own inheritance tax, ITP rates and administrative structure.

1. Murcian Inheritance Tax

The Region of Murcia applies regional deductions for direct-family beneficiaries (Group I/II) that reduce inheritance tax, though not to the same extent as neighbouring Valencia or Andalusia.

  • Regional deductions reduce effective tax for spouses, children and parents.
  • A bilingual Spanish will is essential for Costa Cálida assets.
  • EU Reg 650/2012 lets you choose national succession law; tax still follows Murcian rules.
  • Cross-border estates need dual-tax planning.

2. Property Transfer Tax — Murcia Region

ITP on resale property in the Region of Murcia is 8%. New-build attracts 10% IVA plus 1.5% AJD (Stamp Duty).

  • Resale: 8% ITP.
  • New-build: 10% IVA + 1.5% AJD.
  • Off-plan may attract IVA or ITP depending on vendor status.
  • Rates can change with regional budgets.

3. Non-Resident Tax

Non-resident owners have annual Spanish filing obligations on their property.

  • Modelo 210 due annually whether property is rented or not.
  • Rental income: 19% EU/EEA, 24% non-EU.
  • Capital gains withheld 3% on sale; final rate 19%.
  • Plusvalía charged by local ayuntamiento.

4. Off-Plan & Rural Property

La Manga has both new-build and rural property markets requiring specific due diligence.

  • Off-plan deposits must be bank-guaranteed under Law 38/1999.
  • Rural properties may need AFO/DAFO legalisation.
  • Resort purchases need community-of-owners contract review.
  • Always get a First Occupation Licence check before signing.
How We Work

A modern, online-first legal service on La Manga

Most of our La Manga work is delivered remotely — a secure video call, a shared document portal, a named specialist, and fixed fees agreed in writing.

1

Initial Consultation

Book a 30-minute video call with a named specialist. We review your situation — property, visa, will or tax — confirm scope and quote a fixed fee up front.

2

Engagement & Portal Access

You receive a written engagement letter and secure client-portal access. We collect the documents we need — passport, Nota Simple, energy certificate, financial proofs — all uploaded online.

3

Due Diligence or Application

We run due diligence on the property, draft your Spanish will, prepare your NLV / DNV pack, file Modelo 210 — or whatever the matter requires — with regular progress updates in English.

4

Contracts, Signing & POA

Where appropriate we act under a Power of Attorney so you don't need to travel. We arrange bilingual signing at the notary, the tax office, or your consulate of choice.

5

Completion & Registration

We complete at notary, settle taxes (AJD, ITP, IVA, Modelo 210, ISD), and register your purchase, will or inheritance at the Land Registry — with a full English file for your records.

6

Aftercare & Annual Compliance

We handle ongoing annual filings — Modelo 210, rental-income returns, digital certificate renewals — so your La Manga affairs stay compliant year after year.

Our Approach

A modern international legal firm — not a traditional local office

The old way of instructing a lawyer on La Manga typically meant walking into a local office, hoping someone spoke adequate English, waiting weeks for updates and receiving an invoice at the end with no prior indication of what it would be.

Platinum Legal Spain was built differently. Every client has a named specialist, a written engagement letter, a fixed fee and a secure portal. We explain things in plain English, respond within 24 hours on working days, and keep the entire file documented so nothing falls through the cracks.

  • Team of bar-registered solicitors, legal specialists and immigration specialists
  • Every case handled in English, start to finish — no translation tax
  • Fixed fees agreed up front, in writing, with no hidden surcharges
  • Work with us remotely via secure video and encrypted portal
  • Named specialist, not a rotating junior — one consistent point of contact
  • Experience across La Manga and the wider region
