Annual running costs for this villa include: IBI property tax is estimated at EUR 350-600 per year; home insurance runs EUR 200-400 annually; utility bills (electricity, water, internet) average EUR 150-250 per month. Non-resident owners also pay annual income tax (IRNR) on a deemed rental value, typically EUR 300-600 per year for a property at this price level.

Question 4

How can I arrange a viewing?

Accepted Answer

Contact Aino-Kaisa Lonka to arrange an in-person viewing of this villa in El Edén. Video viewings are also available for overseas buyers who cannot visit immediately. Viewings can usually be arranged within 24-48 hours.

Question 5

Is this a good rental investment?

Accepted Answer

Guardamar Del Segura is primarily a residential area. Long-term rentals are more common than holiday lets. A 3-bedroom villa could appeal to long-term tenants, especially retirees or workers. Rental income is subject to Spanish tax for non-residents. Consult a local agent for current demand levels.

Question 6

What is the buying process in Spain?

Accepted Answer

The Spanish buying process starts with obtaining an NIE (foreigner identification number). After agreeing a price, you sign a reservation contract with a deposit (typically EUR 3,000-6,000). The next step is the arras contract, where you pay 10% of the price. Completion takes place at a notary, where the escritura (title deed) is signed and the balance paid. The whole process typically takes 6-10 weeks from reservation to completion.
