Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs for this apartment?
As a new build in the Valencian Community, the purchase carries IVA (VAT) at 10% of the purchase price plus AJD stamp duty at 1.4%. ITP does not apply. Additional costs typically include notary fees (EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (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 region's conditions — for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — so it is worth confirming your position before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers in Spain typically need a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price, as Spanish lenders generally finance up to 60–70% for non-residents. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain sit broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though individual offers will vary by lender and applicant profile. We recommend speaking with a Spanish mortgage broker before making an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Estimated community fees are EUR 100 per month and estimated annual IBI (council tax) is EUR 250. Please note these figures are estimates. There is no basura (refuse collection) charge listed for this property; confirm the current figure with the local authority. The energy rating is G.
Can I view this apartment remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who cannot travel to Catral immediately. Contact our team to arrange a live video walkthrough at a time that suits you. In-person viewings can also be arranged with advance notice.
What is the rental potential for this property?
Catral is an inland town rather than a coastal tourist destination, so short-term holiday rental demand is more limited than on the coast. The property may suit long-term residential letting. If rental income is part of your plan, we recommend seeking local letting agent advice on current demand and typical rental terms in the Vega Baja del Segura area before committing.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which can be obtained through a Spanish consulate or in Spain with a solicitor's help. Once you agree a price, a reservation fee takes the property off the market while due diligence is carried out. A private purchase contract (arras) is then signed and a deposit, typically 10% of the purchase price, is paid. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the remaining balance and all taxes and fees are settled. Using an independent Spanish solicitor throughout the process is strongly recommended.
