What To Look For When Buying A New Build In Murcia

What To Look For When Buying A New Build In Murcia

1. Location, Location, Location

Even with new builds, location is everything. Murcia offers a diverse mix of settings—from bustling coastal areas like Mazarrón to peaceful inland developments in areas like Camposol. Do you want to be close to the beach, near golf courses, or within walking distance of local amenities?

2. Developer Reputation & Build Quality

Before buying a new build in Murcia, research the developer’s reputation. Look at their previous projects, read buyer reviews, and check completion timelines. At Mercers, we only work with trusted developers who meet high standards of construction and customer care.

Tip: Always ask for photos, plans, and specifications. Better yet, arrange a viewing or video tour.

3. Legal Checks & Building Licences

One of the biggest advantages of a new build is peace of mind—if all paperwork is in order. Make sure the property:

• Has a valid building licence (Licencia de Obra)

• Is covered by a 10-year structural guarantee (Seguro Decenal)

• Includes all planning permissions and habitation certificates
   

When buying through Mercers, we’ll guide you through each step, ensuring your new build in Murcia is fully legal and risk-free.

4. Payment Plan & Stage Payments

Most new builds are sold off-plan, which means you pay in stages. Typically, this includes:

• A reservation deposit

• An initial payment upon contract signing

• Stage payments based on construction progress

• Final balance upon completion
   

Always ensure the developer provides bank guarantees for any payments made before completion. Our experienced team at Mercers can explain how this works and protect your investment.

5. Finishing Touches & Optional Extras

Many new builds in Murcia come with customisation options. From kitchen upgrades to solar panels or private pools, you may be able to tailor your home to your taste. Ask for a full list of what’s included and what counts as an optional extra.

We’ll help you review the full specification sheet so you know exactly what to expect—no hidden surprises!

6. After-Sales Support & Property Management

Buying your home is just the beginning. Make sure your developer or agent offers after-sales support to handle snagging issues, final utility connections, and any questions after handover.
