Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs for this new-build penthouse in Catral?
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. On top of those taxes, buyers typically pay notary fees of EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of 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 non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Non-resident buyers can generally obtain a Spanish mortgage, though lenders typically require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%, depending on the lender, term, and your financial profile. Speaking to an independent mortgage broker familiar with the Spanish market is advisable before proceeding.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Estimated annual community fees are EUR 285, which cover maintenance of communal areas, the pool, and shared facilities. Estimated annual IBI (council tax) is EUR 260. Please note these figures are estimates; confirm exact amounts with the agent before exchange. Utility costs such as water and electricity are payable separately by the owner.
Can I view this penthouse remotely?
Yes. In-person viewings can be arranged through our team at a time that suits you. If you are based outside Spain, we can also arrange a live video viewing so you can walk through the property and ask questions in real time before committing to travel.
Is this penthouse suitable as a rental investment?
Catral's position approximately 35 minutes from Alicante-Elche Airport and its proximity to golf make it appealing to medium and long-term renters. Rental licensing requirements in the Valencian Community should be confirmed with a local lawyer before purchase, as regulations vary by municipality and property type.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which your lawyer can obtain on your behalf. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation deposit secures the property and removes it from the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), where a further deposit is typically paid, and finally completion takes place before a Spanish notary, at which point full payment and title transfer are completed.
