Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs for this apartment?
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 to new-build purchases. On top of those taxes, allow approximately EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for land registry fees, and around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT for legal representation. 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 verifying your eligibility before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage on this property as a non-resident?
Non-resident buyers in Spain can typically access mortgages covering 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is generally required. Current variable and fixed rates from Spanish lenders sit in the range of approximately 3.5–4.5%, though the rate you are offered will depend on your financial profile and the lender. We recommend seeking independent mortgage advice before making an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Estimated community fees are approximately EUR 120 per month, covering communal areas, the pool, gym, and security. The estimated annual IBI (council tax) is EUR 620. Both figures are estimates at this stage of the development. Utility costs — water, electricity, and internet — will vary with usage and provider.
Can I view the property remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who cannot travel to Finestrat Hills in person. A member of our team will walk through the apartment and the communal facilities live via video call, at a time that suits you. In-person viewings can also be arranged with advance notice.
What is the rental potential in this area?
Finestrat Hills is close to Benidorm, one of the Costa Blanca's busiest tourist destinations, which means there is demand for short-term holiday lets in the area. A tourist licence is required to operate a legal short-let, and conditions are set by the Valencian Community. We recommend speaking to a local letting agent about realistic occupancy rates and net income before factoring rental income into your purchase decision. We do not quote yield percentages as these vary significantly with management costs and seasonality.
What steps are involved in buying this apartment?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which can be obtained via a Spanish consulate or a gestor in Spain. Once you have agreed on terms, a reservation fee is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (contrato de arras), at which point typically 10% of the purchase price is paid. The balance is settled at the notary on the completion date, when the title deed (escritura) is signed and ownership formally transfers. We advise appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to oversee the process from the outset.
