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. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and legal fees at around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT. Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet this region's conditions — for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — worth checking before you budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers in Spain can generally access mortgages covering 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is typically required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates for non-residents are broadly in the range of 3.5–4.5%, though terms vary by lender and personal circumstances. We recommend obtaining an agreement in principle before making an offer.
What are the estimated running costs for this penthouse?
Estimated community fees are EUR 125 per month, covering shared facilities including the communal pool and tennis court. Annual IBI (council tax) is estimated at EUR 1,110. Both figures are estimates, as the development is new build and final costs will be confirmed once the community is formally registered.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings by appointment, which allow you to walk through the property and ask questions in real time via video call. This is particularly useful for new-build developments where show units or CGI walkthroughs are available. Contact the office to arrange a convenient time.
Is this penthouse suitable as a rental investment?
Albir is an active tourist area within the Valencian Community, and properties here are eligible for short-term tourist rentals subject to obtaining the required tourist licence from the regional authority. Demand is generally strongest from late spring through early autumn. We can connect you with local rental management companies to discuss occupancy patterns in this area; we do not provide projected yield figures.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which can be obtained at a consulate or in person in Spain. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation fee is paid to take the property off the market, followed by a formal private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa) in which a larger deposit — typically 10% — is paid. For new builds, stage payments during construction are common. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the remaining balance is transferred and keys are handed over. We strongly recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor throughout.
