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% of the purchase price. 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. 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 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 range broadly between 3.5% and 4.5%, though your individual rate will depend on your financial profile and the lender. We recommend obtaining a mortgage agreement in principle before making an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently set at nil. IBI (annual property tax) and basura (waste collection) figures are not yet confirmed for this new-build development; the agent can provide estimates once these are assessed by the local authority. You should also factor in utilities, building insurance, and any contents insurance you choose to take out.
How do I arrange a viewing?
Viewings can be arranged in person or by video call. Contact the OceanHome team to book a convenient time. Remote video viewings are available for buyers who are not currently in Spain, and we can walk you through the apartment and communal areas live on screen.
Does this apartment have rental potential?
Catral is a quiet inland town rather than a coastal tourist hub, so short-term holiday rental demand is limited compared with coastal resorts. The apartment may suit the long-term rental market given its proximity to Alicante city and the airport. We recommend speaking to a local letting agent about realistic rental expectations before purchasing with that aim in mind.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which can be obtained in Spain or via a Spanish consulate in your home country. Once a price is agreed, a reservation deposit is paid to secure the property. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point a further deposit of typically 10% of the purchase price is paid. The sale completes before a Spanish notary, at which point the balance and all applicable taxes are settled. We strongly recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to act on your behalf throughout the process.
