Bernardino and Chiara have completed our purchase of our spanish holiday home and it couldnt have gone any smoother.
From start to finish they have been informative, helpful and a friendly voice on the other end of a phone.
Thank you both for your professional help and being there to answer any of our questions. We would not hesitate in recommending your company to others (you were also recommended to us from our friends who bought their property through Bernardino and the team)
Thank you again *** best wishes from Barrie and Denise Ashpole x

“Second homes banned in Europe.”

That is the headline a lot of people read this week. It is not what the text says.

Brussels has presented a proposal, not a law, and it does not ban anything on its own.

It simply allows each city, if it wants to, to limit the purchase of homes that are not a main residence.

And to do that, the requirements are so strict that very few areas would meet them today.

What actually matters if you own or want a home on the coast:

It is not retroactive. What you already bought stays untouched.
It is voluntary, and neither Alicante nor Murcia has any tensioned zone declared right now.
It does not discriminate by nationality. The law looks at the use of the property, not at where you are from.

At SGM we guide international buyers through exactly these questions every day. Save this, because you are going to hear a lot more about it. Would you still buy on the coast knowing this? Tell us below.

Inheriting a house and selling it are two different taxes, not one.

When you inherited, you already settled the inheritance tax. Selling only taxes your profit.

And most people get that profit wrong, because they forget that the value of the inheritance is not just the figure in the deed.

You can add every cost you paid to inherit.

The inheritance tax, the notary, the registry, the lawyer.

All of it raises your starting value and lowers the profit you are taxed on.

If you are not a Spanish resident, there is also an automatic 3% held back at the sale as an advance payment, which you can claim back if your real tax turns out to be lower.

Thinking of selling an inherited property? Go back to the numbers before the notary, not after. Message us and we will do the full sum with you.

Inheriting a property?
The instinct is to declare the lowest value possible. In Valencia and Murcia, that instinct can quietly cost you thousands. 👇

That value doesn't stay in Inheritance Tax. It comes back years later when you sell — it's the starting point for your capital gain on income tax (IRPF).

The lower you declare when you inherit, the bigger the gain you're taxed on when you sell.

Here's what gets missed 📍 In the Valencian Community and Murcia, a child or spouse who inherits gets a 99% relief on Inheritance Tax. So declaring at the real value costs almost nothing today — and can save thousands on IRPF when you sell.

⚠️ This applies to direct heirs. For siblings, nieces, nephews, aunts and uncles (Group III), the rules are different and need care.

Worth remembering:
✅ The value you declare today has tax effects years later
✅ Reference value and cadastral value are not the same
✅ You can't declare below the reference value to pay less
