Buying a spanish property In Murcia. Costa Calida - Costa Blanca Spain.

 it is usual to expect to allow  fees of around 10% of the property purchase price. For the 7% Tax - Notary & Stamp 2% - 1% Legal -. = 10%

Fees are always based on the declared value of the property, which is traditionally much lower than the actual price (and this of course has a bearing if applying for a mortgage).

There is regulation in place as "the law of public fees" makes it no longer possible to declare a very low figure, and the can be penalties for gross under-valuation.
