Why Murcia property needs legal checks

Murcia files often involve issues a buyer never sees without independent review:

  • Community-fee debts & derramas
  • Unregistered pools or extensions
  • Rural / non-developable land on country fincas
  • Developer-contract risks on new build
  • Bank guarantees on off-plan property
  • Resort community & golf-rights structures
  • Tourist-rental restrictions
  • Inheritance title gaps
  • Non-resident tax exposure
  • Power of Attorney completion

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.

Sellers & new build

Selling & new-build purchases

Selling property

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.

New build & off-plan

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.

Tax

Murcia property tax

The Region of Murcia sets its own transfer-tax rate:

Resale transfer tax (ITP)

Murcia ITP at 7.75% of the declared price on resale property.

New-build tax

New build is taxed instead at 10% IVA + AJD 1.5% — not ITP.

Non-resident tax

Owners file annual Modelo 210, plus quarterly returns on rental income.

All-in budget

Budget roughly 10–12% on top of the price — set out in writing before you commit.

Visas & relocation

Visas and relocation

Many Murcia buyers also need immigration support. We coordinate the property purchase with the residency and tax side:

Non-Lucrative Visa

For non-working residents living on savings or pensions. See our NLV service.

Digital Nomad Visa

For remote workers and the self-employed. See our DNV service.

NIE, TIE & padrón

The NIE, residence card and town-hall registration for new residents.

Tax-residency & wills

Spanish tax-residency planning and a Spanish will, set up alongside the purchase.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions — lawyers Murcia

Do I need a lawyer to buy property in Murcia?

Practically yes. The notary does not act for you or carry out buyer-side due diligence. An independent lawyer checks the title, debts, licences, community position and tax before you commit.

What tax do I pay buying in Murcia?

The Region of Murcia applies a resale transfer tax (ITP) of 7.75%. New build attracts IVA 10% + AJD 1.5% instead. Budget roughly 10–12% all-in, set out in writing before you commit.

Can foreigners buy property in Murcia?

Yes. Foreigners can buy property in Spain. You need an NIE, a tax setup and usually a Spanish bank account. There is no restriction on foreign ownership.

Can I buy remotely?

Yes. We routinely complete purchases using a bilingual notarised Power of Attorney, so you do not need to travel to Spain to sign.

Do you handle golf-resort property?

Yes. We act across Murcia’s golf resorts — La Torre, Roda, Hacienda Riquelme, Condado de Alhama, Hacienda del Álamo and more — reviewing the resort community statutes, fees and any golf-rights structures.

Can you help with country fincas?

Yes. On rural property we confirm the land classification (urban or rustic), whether the build is legally registered and licensed, the boundaries and access, and the pools and outbuildings, before you commit.

What is the difference between Murcia and the Costa Cálida?

The Costa Cálida is the coastline of the Region of Murcia — the Mar Menor, La Manga and the Mazarrón and Águilas coast. We cover both the coast and the inland region; see our Costa Cálida hub.
