Frequently asked
Yes. Non-residents — including US, UAE, UK and European buyers — can typically borrow up to 65% of value on Murcia & Costa Cálida property through Spanish and international lenders. Murcia applies 8% ITP, lower than the neighbouring Comunidad Valenciana's 10%, which reduces cash needed at completion.
Around 35–40% of the price in cash, plus purchase costs and taxes on top. Funds must be traceable and evidenced before a lender will issue a formal offer.
Murcia city, the Mar Menor, La Manga, Los Alcázares, Mazarrón, Águilas and the golf resorts are all well-evidenced lending locations. Less liquid or rural stock is still financeable, usually at a slightly lower loan-to-value.
Yes. Short-term bridging is regularly arranged for off-market and auction purchases, refurbishment projects and to bridge a home-country sale, typically over 6–24 months.
Yes. Selected international lenders will lend in GBP or USD, or offer multi-currency facilities, against Murcia & Costa Cálida property — useful where your income is not in euros.
Yes. Lenders typically want two to three years of accounts or tax returns; company directors can combine salary, dividends and retained profits.
Plan for six to ten weeks from full application to notary. Bridging can complete in two to four weeks where a deadline demands it.
Yes — both are required to sign at notary and draw down a Spanish mortgage. We coordinate NIE, bank account opening, lawyer engagement and FX alongside the finance.
Yes. Murcia charges 8% ITP against 10% in the Comunidad Valenciana, so a €400,000 resale costs roughly €8,000 less in tax just over the regional border.
Yes, provided the title is standard freehold, community fees are current and the resort is completed. Part-built or receivership schemes are avoided.
Yes. Where a berth is a separate concession rather than part of the title, lenders finance the property only and the berth is treated as excluded from the valuation.

Also consider bridging
Non-resident Spanish mortgages typically take 6–10 weeks. Where timing is tight — auctions, off-market deals, chain-breaks or a pending home-country sale — short-term bridging can complete in 2–4 weeks and refinance onto a mortgage later.
