Costa Cálida & southern Costa Blanca: Where and why to buy
SERVICES
Costa Calida, in the Region of Murcia, and the neighbouring southern Costa Blanca in Alicante, combine fine sandy beaches, the Mar Menor lagoon and some of Spain’s best golf courses. Towns such as Los Alcazares, Roda Golf, San Javier, Sucina and Pilar de la Horadada attract growing numbers of international buyers thanks to a mild year-round climate and prices that remain competitive compared with other Spanish coasts.
Golf in Costa Cálida
The area is home to close to twenty golf courses within a short drive — remarkable for a semi-arid region. Whether you’re looking for a home on the fairway or simply want easy access to some of Spain’s best courses, Costa Calida is one of the country’s leading golf destinations.

How to Buy a Property in Spain as a Foreign Buyer
Buying a home in Spain as an international buyer is a straightforward process once you know the steps. Here’s what to expect, from budget to keys.
Set Your Budget
Work out how much you can spend and how much you already have saved.
Decide How You'll Pay
Choose between a one-off payment at signing or a mortgage — Spanish banks typically lend up to around 70% of the property value to non-residents, with the buyer covering the rest.
Choose Your Property
Decide on the type of home and location that fits your needs — new-build or resale, coastal or inland.
Make an Offer
Once you’ve found the right home, you make an offer to the seller.
Instruct a Solicitor
A solicitor reviews contracts, title deeds and the property registry, and arranges your NIE (foreigner’s tax ID number) and the transfer of utilities into your name.
Sign the Deposit Contract
The contrato de arras commits both parties to the sale and involves paying a deposit on the property.
Sign the Title Deed
This is done in front of a notary, confirming the property description, price, payment method and any charges on the property.
Pay Taxes and Costs
Budget for transfer tax or VAT, notary fees, land registry fees and any mortgage-related costs — typically around 12% on top of the purchase price.
Collect Your Keys
Move into your new home in Costa Calida.
Benefits of Buying Property in Spain
Beyond the lifestyle, buying property in Spain offers real advantages — a favourable climate year-round, strong rental potential for holiday lets, and property prices that remain competitive compared with other Western European coastal destinations. Costa Calida in particular offers excellent value for new-build homes close to the beach and top golf courses.
