Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs apply to this property?
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 of approximately EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of approximately EUR 400–800, and legal fees typically 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 — and it is worth checking these before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage on this property as a non-resident?
Non-resident buyers can typically obtain mortgage financing in Spain, though lenders generally require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Variable and fixed interest rates on Spanish mortgages currently range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5% per annum, depending on the lender and your financial profile. We recommend obtaining a mortgage agreement in principle before reserving.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently nil for this development, though buyers should verify this on completion. IBI (annual property tax) has not yet been assessed as the property is a new build and will be levied by the local authority once the cadastral value is registered. The annual basura (waste collection) charge is also to be confirmed. There are no communal pool or lift maintenance costs at present.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who are unable to travel to Benferri in person. These can be arranged via video call at a time that suits you, and we can walk through the show unit or the development site with live commentary. In-person viewings can also be scheduled with advance notice.
Is this property suitable for rental purposes?
Benferri is an inland residential area rather than a coastal tourist zone. Short-term holiday rental demand here is limited compared with coastal locations. The property may be better suited to mid-to-long-term residential letting, for example to families or workers based in the Orihuela or Vinalopó corridor. Any rental activity requires registration with the Valencian Community authorities, and the applicable licence type depends on the rental term and usage.
What is the purchase process for this property?
First, you will need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which your solicitor can apply for on your behalf. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation fee is paid to take the property off the market, followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa) in which a further deposit — typically 10% of the purchase price — is paid. The remaining balance is paid at completion before the notary, who oversees the signing of the public deed of sale. Your solicitor should carry out due diligence on the build licence and developer guarantees before you commit to the arras stage.
