Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for beyond the asking price?
As a new build in the Valencian Community, this purchase carries IVA (VAT) at 10% of the purchase price plus AJD stamp duty at 1.4%. ITP does not apply. On top of tax, allow for notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (EUR 400–800), and legal representation at around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT. Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet the Valencian Community's conditions — for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — so it is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers in Spain can typically borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish lenders generally range from 3.5% to 4.5%, though the rate offered will depend on your financial profile and the lender. We recommend speaking to an independent mortgage broker familiar with the Spanish market.
What are the ongoing running costs for this property?
Community fees are currently set at zero for this development. The annual IBI (local property tax) figure is not yet confirmed for this new-build unit and will be established once the property is registered with the local authority. There is no basura (refuse collection) fee on record at this stage. We recommend budgeting conservatively for these costs until final figures are issued.
Can I view this property remotely?
Yes. Video viewings are available and can be arranged at a time convenient to you. Our agents can walk through the unit and the communal areas live on a video call, and we can also share developer show-home footage where available. Contact us to book either an in-person or video viewing.
Is this property suitable for holiday rental?
L'Alfas del Pi falls within an area of the Costa Blanca that sees year-round visitor demand, particularly from northern European travellers. First-floor south-facing units in gated complexes with communal pools are well suited to the short-stay market. You will need to obtain a tourist rental licence from the Valencian Community before listing the property on any rental platform. We can refer you to local managing agents who can advise on expected occupancy patterns.
What steps are involved in buying this property?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE (foreigner identification number), obtainable at a Spanish consulate in your home country or in person in Spain. Once a price is agreed, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit paid to secure the property. A private purchase contract follows, at which point a further deposit of typically 10% of the purchase price is paid. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, where the remaining balance, taxes, and fees are settled and the title deed is signed. We strongly recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor throughout.
