[ Who I am ]

María Berlamar, lawyer

I'm María Berlamar, a lawyer, and together with my family I run the Luxury Rentals Murcia apartments. I have practised law since 2012 across different areas, which lets me guide you through everything involved in settling here: residence, contracts and, if you buy, your home. I work in Spanish and English.

Moving to a new city has two parts: where to live and what paperwork you need. Our apartments in the historic centre take care of the first. I take care of the second, from start to finish.

[ How I can help ]

Four situations, the same support

  • Moving to Murcia

    For people settling here from another country: remote professionals, retirees and families.

    • We choose the residence route that fits your case: non-lucrative residence, international teleworking (digital nomads), family member of an EU citizen, family reunification and others.
    • If you are an EU citizen, your registration certificate and your NIE.
    • NIE and TIE, appointments, registering with the town hall (empadronamiento) and the rest of the arrival paperwork.
    • Before you sign the lease on your permanent home, I review the contract with you.
    Ask me about residence

  • Coming to study

    For people coming to study in Murcia, from another country or another Spanish city, and for their families.

    • Stay for studies: visa or authorisation, NIE, TIE and extensions.
    • Whether you can work while you study, and on what terms.
    • EU students: registration, if you are staying more than three months.
    • Fixed-term (seasonal) rental contracts: what you sign, the deposit and how to get it back.
    Ask me about your studies

  • Buying a home

    For people buying to live in or to invest, from Spain or from abroad.

    • Before you buy: Land Registry extract, charges, debts with the owners' association, planning status and whether the property can be rented out the way you want.
    • Deposit contract (arras), signing before a notary and registration at the Land Registry. Before you commit, I explain the taxes on the purchase.
    • If you buy from abroad: NIE and powers of attorney, so you don't need to travel for every signature.
    • If you plan to rent it out: licences, registrations and contracts. We do this with our own apartments and know the process first-hand.

    Good to know: Since 3 April 2025, buying a home no longer gives you the right to residence (the so-called golden visa). And using a flat as a tourist rental requires the express approval of the owners' association.

    Ask me about your purchase

  • Relocating for work

    For professionals coming to Murcia for a job or a project, and for the companies relocating them.

    • Residence and work permits: employees, highly qualified professionals, intra-company transfers and others.
    • The arrival paperwork for you and your family.
    • The rental contract while you settle in and the one for your permanent home.
    • For companies: we coordinate accommodation and paperwork for the people you relocate.
    Ask me about your relocation
