Description
This new-build penthouse on the third floor of a nine-unit development in Playa Muchavista covers 106 m2 of interior space and includes a private solarium. The complex contains only 9 properties in total, giving it a boutique scale that larger developments cannot match. Each unit has been arranged to capture sea views, and the building is served by a lift. The development includes 2- and 3-bedroom configurations, and this penthouse has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.Playa Muchavista sits within El Campello, a coastal town on the northern stretch of the Costa Blanca. The beach at Playa Muchavista is approximately 200 metres from the development, making it accessible on foot throughout the year. The town centre of El Campello, with its weekly Thursday market and waterfront promenade, is a short drive or cycle along the coast road. Alicante-Elche Airport (ALC) is around 35 minutes by car, a practical distance for owners who travel frequently.The development is a new build, so IBI and community fees have not yet been set; please ask the agent for projected figures. 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. Playa Muchavista is a recognised tourist area, and the proximity to the beach makes short-term rental a viable option for owners who do not occupy the property year-round.

About Playa Muchavista, El Campello
El Campello is one of the most popular destinations on Spain's Costa Blanca.
What purchase taxes and costs apply to this property?
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. Beyond taxes, budget for notary fees of approximately EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of approximately 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?
Spanish banks typically lend non-residents up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Variable and fixed mortgage rates currently range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%, though the rate offered will depend on your financial profile and the lender. Speak to a Spanish mortgage broker early in the process to understand your options.
What are the ongoing running costs?
As a new-build development, IBI (council tax) and community fees have not yet been assessed. The agent can provide projected figures for both. There is no basura (rubbish collection) charge confirmed at this stage either. Ask the agent for the developer's estimated annual cost schedule before exchanging contracts.
How can I arrange a viewing?
In-person viewings can be arranged through the OceanHome team at a time that suits you. If you are based outside Spain, we also offer video viewings so you can tour the property remotely before committing to travel. Contact us to book either option.
Is this property suitable for holiday rental?
Playa Muchavista is a recognised tourist beach area with strong seasonal demand, and the 200-metre distance to the beach is a practical advantage for short-term rental. You will need a tourist rental licence from the Valencian Community before letting the property. The agent can advise on the licensing process and introduce you to local property managers if required.
What is the buying process for this property?
First, obtain an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), the tax identification number required for any property purchase in Spain. 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), at which point a further deposit, typically 10% of the purchase price, is paid. The sale is completed before a notary, who registers the title deed. The full process typically takes 4–12 weeks from reservation to completion on a new build, depending on the construction stage.
