About Isla Del Fraile, Águilas
Isla del Fraile is a coastal residential district on the southern edge of Águilas, in the Region of Murcia. The area sits along a rocky shoreline characterised by small protected coves, and the modest harbour is within walking distance of the development. Property here is predominantly composed of apartment buildings and low-rise complexes aimed at both permanent residents and holiday buyers. Águilas town centre, with its fish market, covered market on Calle Mayor, and seafront promenade, is approximately 10 minutes by car. The nearest large commercial supermarket is on the outskirts of Águilas.
What are the purchase costs on top of the asking price?
As a new build in Murcia, you pay IVA at 10% (EUR 38,500) rather than transfer tax, plus stamp duty (AJD) at 1.5% (EUR 5,775). Additional costs include notary fees of roughly EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400–800, and legal fees of approximately 1% of the purchase price plus VAT. Budget for total acquisition costs of around 13–15% on top of EUR 385,000.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers can typically borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price from Spanish lenders, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is required. On EUR 385,000 that equates to a deposit of roughly EUR 115,500 to EUR 154,000. Current variable and fixed rates from Spanish banks range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%. Speak to a Spanish mortgage broker for a personalised illustration.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are estimated at EUR 95 per month (EUR 1,140 per year) and annual IBI (council tax) is estimated at EUR 540. Please note these figures are marked as estimated and should be confirmed with the vendor or their legal representative before exchange.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. OceanHome offers video viewings for buyers who cannot travel immediately. Contact us to schedule a live video call with an agent on site. In-person viewings can be arranged by appointment once you are ready to visit.
Does this area have rental potential?
Águilas and the Isla del Fraile coastal area attract visitors during the summer months, and short-term holiday lets are a common use for properties of this type. A tourist rental licence (Vivienda Turística) is required from the Region of Murcia before letting legally. Confirm licence availability for this specific development with your solicitor.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation fee takes the property off the market, followed by a private purchase contract (arras) where typically 10% of the price is paid. The balance is paid at the notary when the title deed (escritura) is signed and ownership formally transfers.
