What purchase costs should I budget for on top of the sale 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. 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. In addition, allow roughly EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for land registry fees, and approximately 1% of the purchase price plus VAT for legal representation.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer in Spain?
Non-resident buyers can typically access Spanish mortgages, though lenders generally require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Interest rates on Spanish mortgages currently range broadly between 3.5% and 4.5%, depending on the lender, the term, and whether you choose a fixed or variable rate. We can refer you to independent mortgage brokers with experience in Costa Blanca purchases.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Estimated community fees are EUR 115 per month, covering communal areas, the pool, and building maintenance. Estimated annual IBI (local property tax) is EUR 630. Both figures are estimates at this stage; final amounts will be confirmed once the development is complete and rates are formally assessed.
Can I view the apartment remotely before travelling to Calpe?
Yes. We offer video viewings via video call, allowing you to tour the unit and ask questions in real time before committing to a visit. For in-person viewings, we can arrange appointments at a time that suits your schedule. Contact us to book either option.
Is this apartment suitable for holiday rental?
Playa Arenal-Bol sees strong tourist demand between May and October, and the area is classified for tourist rental activity in Calpe. A tourist licence is required and must be obtained from the Valencian Community authorities before letting. We recommend taking legal advice on the licensing process and local rental regulations before purchasing with this intention.
What does the purchase process look like for a buyer new to Spain?
The first step is obtaining a Spanish NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is required for any property transaction. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point a further stage payment is typically made. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, at which point the balance is paid and title transfers to you. Your solicitor will handle due diligence, registration, and tax filings throughout.
