Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the asking price?
As this is a new-build property in Murcia, you pay IVA at 10% instead of ITP. On EUR 431,000 that amounts to EUR 43,100 in tax. Add notary fees of roughly EUR 600 to EUR 1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400 to EUR 800, and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (approximately EUR 5,154 before VAT). Total purchase costs are typically 12 to 14% above the asking price.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Spanish banks generally lend up to 60 to 70% of the purchase price to non-resident buyers, meaning you would need a deposit of 30 to 40%. On EUR 431,000 that is between EUR 129,300 and EUR 172,400. Variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish lenders currently range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5% AER. We recommend obtaining an agreement in principle before making an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Estimated community fees are EUR 105 per month (EUR 1,260 per year). Estimated IBI (local property tax) is EUR 600 per year. Please note these figures are estimated; confirm the exact amounts with the developer before exchange. Utility costs for electricity, water and internet are additional and will vary with usage.
Can I view this apartment remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings by appointment for buyers who are unable to visit in person. A member of our team can walk you through the apartment and the communal areas live via video call. In-person viewings can also be arranged; contact us to confirm availability.
Does this apartment have rental potential?
Águilas and the Isla del Fraile area attract domestic Spanish tourists as well as international visitors during summer months. Properties with sea views, a terrace and access to a communal pool tend to perform well in the short-term holiday rental market. Before letting the property, you will need a tourist rental licence issued by the Región de Murcia. We recommend taking independent legal advice on current licensing rules and restrictions before purchase.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE (foreigner identification number), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once you have agreed a price, you pay a reservation fee to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (contrato de arras), at which point a further deposit is usually paid. The sale is completed before a Spanish notary, who registers the title in your name at the land registry. The full process typically takes between 6 and 12 weeks for a new-build.
