What are added costs on top of the property price?

We recommend 12% to our clients, worse case scenario.

In general, you should allow 12-13% of the purchase price for additional costs.

The chief cost will be the property purchase tax - similar to Stamp Duty in the UK, but 8% in Murcia; then you also have legal fees, notary fees, land registry fees, possibly translation fees.

This is assuming that you are buying without a mortgage - if you are then there will be additional bank fees, etc. 

Hope this helps!

Thank you I wasn't sure how much extra to budget for
