Independent English-speaking lawyers for international clients across 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, relocating families and non-resident owners across Murcia city, Cartagena, the Mar Menor, the Costa Cálida and the inland towns and 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.
Murcia is one of Spain’s best-value property regions — from the Mar Menor and Costa Cálida coast to inland towns, country fincas and a cluster of international golf resorts. 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 region. See Spanish property & conveyancing.
Villa and apartment purchases, with title, plot and licensing due diligence.
Developer-contract, bank-guarantee and licence review. See new build & off-plan.
Resort community statutes, golf rights and resort-title structures across the region’s golf developments.
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: resale title, country fincas and rural land, renovation legality, community statutes, new build and non-resident tax.
The Murcia coastline — Mar Menor, La Manga and the Mazarrón and Águilas coast. Legal focus: apartments, villas, community statutes, tourist-rental rules and remote purchases. See our Costa Cálida hub.
Murcia’s international golf developments combine resort apartments and villas with community and golf-rights structures we review in detail.
Murcia 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 Region of Murcia 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 Murcia 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 Murcia 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.
