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. Additional purchase costs typically include notary fees (EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (EUR 400–800), and legal fees of approximately 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 — so it is worth checking before you budget.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Non-resident buyers can typically obtain a Spanish mortgage, though lenders generally require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Current variable and fixed interest rates are broadly in the range of 3.5–4.5%, though individual offers vary by lender and applicant profile. We can refer you to a Spanish mortgage broker for up-to-date terms.
What are the estimated running costs?
Estimated community fees are EUR 190 per month, covering maintenance of communal areas, the pool, gardens, gymnasium, and security. Estimated annual IBI (council tax) is EUR 880. These figures are estimated at the time of listing. Utility costs (electricity, water) will depend on usage.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. In-person viewings can be arranged by appointment through our team. We also offer video viewings for buyers who are unable to visit in person, allowing you to tour the property and ask questions in real time. Contact us to schedule either option.
Does this property have rental potential?
Finestrat Hills is close to Benidorm, one of the Costa Blanca's busiest tourist destinations, which means there is demand for holiday rentals in the area. A tourist licence is required to let the property short-term, and the Valencian Community has its own licensing requirements. We recommend taking advice from a local solicitor on compliance before committing to a rental strategy.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE number (tax identification number for foreign nationals), which can be obtained in Spain or at a Spanish consulate. A reservation agreement is typically signed to take the property off the market, followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa) accompanied by a deposit — commonly 10% of the purchase price. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, who formalises the transfer. We strongly recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to act on your behalf throughout the process.
