Villa 3 chambres - Doña Pepa, Rojales

As a resale in the Valencian Community, this purchase carries ITP transfer tax at 9% of the purchase price, rising to 11% on the entire value above €1,000,000. Tax is charged on the higher of the price paid and the property's official reference value, so treat any figure based on the asking price as a minimum. Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet the region's conditions (for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence). On top of transfer tax, budget for notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT.

Non-resident buyers can typically access Spanish mortgages, though lenders generally require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Variable and fixed interest rates currently range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%, depending on the lender and your financial profile. We recommend taking independent mortgage advice before proceeding.

Estimated community fees are EUR 50 per month. Estimated annual IBI (council rates) is EUR 1,000 per year. Both figures are marked as estimated and may vary. There is no basura (refuse collection) fee confirmed for this listing. You should also factor in utility connection costs and standard household bills.

You can request an in-person viewing at a time that suits you through our contact form or by calling our office directly. We also offer video viewings for buyers who are not yet in Spain, allowing you to walk through the property remotely before committing to travel.

Doña Pepa sits within the Costa Blanca South tourism belt, and properties in Rojales can attract year-round rental interest given the proximity to beaches and the airport. A tourist rental licence from the Valencian Community authorities is required before letting legally. We recommend speaking to a local lettings agent for realistic occupancy and rate expectations specific to this area.

You will first need a Spanish NIE (foreigner identification number), which your lawyer can help obtain. Once you agree a price, a reservation fee is typically paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), where usually 10% of the purchase price is exchanged and the completion date is fixed. The sale is then completed before a Spanish notary, at which point the balance and all taxes and fees are paid. Independent legal representation throughout is strongly advised.
