The Buying Process in Spain
Purchasing property in Spain as a foreigner is straightforward, but there are specific steps to follow:
1. Get Your NIE Number
The NIE (Número de Identidad de Extranjero) is your foreign identification number in Spain. You’ll need it before you can sign any contracts or open a Spanish bank account. It can be obtained at the Spanish consulate in your home country or at a police station in Spain.
2. Open a Spanish Bank Account
Required for the property transaction. Most banks in Murcia are familiar with international buyers and offer English-speaking support.
3. Reserve Your Villa
A reservation deposit (typically €6,000–€10,000) secures your chosen villa and plot. This is deducted from the final price.
4. Private Purchase Contract
Usually within 30 days of reservation. A further payment of around 30% of the price is made at this stage.
5. Completion at the Notary
The final signing takes place before a Spanish notary. The remaining balance is paid, and the property is registered in your name at the Land Registry.
Costs to Budget For
Beyond the purchase price, expect approximately 12–13% in additional costs:
- Transfer tax or VAT (IVA) on new builds: 10%
- Stamp duty (AJD): 1.5%
- Notary and registry fees: ~1%
- Legal fees: ~1%
Do I Need a Lawyer?
Strongly recommended. An independent English-speaking lawyer (abogado) will review contracts, verify the property’s legal status, and ensure your interests are protected throughout. Budget around €1,500–€2,500.
Investment Potential
Hacienda del Álamo has seen consistent property value growth, driven by limited new-build supply and strong international demand. The resort’s proximity to the airport, beaches, and major cities makes it attractive for both permanent residents and holiday rental investors.
Short-term rental licences are available in the Murcia region, and occupancy rates in golf resorts remain high year-round thanks to the mild climate.
