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%. 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 this region's conditions (for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence) — worth checking before you budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers in Spain can typically obtain a mortgage covering 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Current variable and fixed rates generally range from 3.5% to 4.5%, though terms vary by lender and individual profile. We can put you in touch with independent mortgage brokers familiar with the Alicante market.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Annual IBI (council tax) is estimated at EUR 290. Community fees are estimated at EUR 105 per month, covering maintenance of the communal pool, solarium and shared areas. These figures are estimates and may be subject to change once the development is fully established.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who are unable to visit in person. Our agents can conduct a live walkthrough via video call, sharing detailed footage of the apartment, communal areas and the surrounding development. Contact us to arrange a time that suits you.
Is this apartment suitable as a rental investment?
Catral is an inland residential town rather than a primary tourist destination, so short-term holiday rental demand is more limited than on the coast. The property may be more suited to long-term residential letting, which can provide stable returns in the Vega Baja del Segura area. We recommend seeking local letting agency advice on current rental market conditions before committing.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need to obtain a NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is required for any property purchase in Spain. Once you have agreed a price, a reservation fee is typically paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), where a further deposit is paid and the terms are set. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, at which point the remaining balance, taxes and fees are settled and the title deed (escritura) is signed.
