About Playa de Poniente, Benidorm
Playa de Poniente is Benidorm's prestigious western beach, stretching over 3 km with a modern promenade designed by renowned architect Carlos Ferrater. Less crowded than Levante, it attracts a more upscale residential market and offers direct sunset views over the Mediterranean. The area benefits from waterfront dining, a growing number of luxury developments, and excellent transport links along the coast.
What are the purchase costs on top of 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%, set by the Valencian Community. ITP does not apply. Additional costs include 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. 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 — and this is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage in Spain?
Yes. Spanish lenders generally offer non-residents up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is typically required. Interest rates for non-resident mortgages currently range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%, depending on the lender and whether you choose a fixed or variable rate. A mortgage broker with Spanish market experience can help you compare products.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Estimated community fees are EUR 125 per month, covering maintenance of the communal areas, pool, and facilities. Annual IBI (council tax) is estimated at EUR 1,800. Both figures are estimates at this stage. There may also be a separate annual basura (waste collection) charge — ask the agent for the latest figure.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who cannot travel to Benidorm immediately. A video tour can be arranged at a time that suits you, and we can follow up with a live video call to walk through the apartment and the communal areas. In-person viewings are available by appointment.
Is this apartment suitable for short-term rental?
Benidorm's Playa de Poniente area sees high tourist footfall throughout the year, making it one of the more active rental markets on the Costa Blanca. Short-term holiday lets require a Valencian Community tourist licence; we can point you to a local property manager who can advise on licensing, occupancy expectations, and management fees. We do not quote yield projections, as these depend on pricing strategy, management costs, and seasonal demand.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which can be obtained at a Spanish consulate in your home country or in Spain. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation fee is typically paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (often arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point a further deposit — commonly 10% — is paid. The transaction completes before a notary, who registers the title deed. We strongly recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to review all documentation before you commit.
