Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs apply to this villa?
As a new build, this property is subject to IVA at 10% (EUR 119,500) rather than transfer tax, plus stamp duty (AJD) at approximately 1.5% of the purchase price. Additional costs include notary fees of roughly EUR 600 to 1,200, land registry fees of approximately EUR 400 to 800, and legal fees typically around 1% plus VAT. Total purchase costs are estimated at 13 to 15% on top of the purchase price.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish lenders generally offer non-residents up to 60 to 70% loan-to-value on a property priced at EUR 1,195,000, meaning a deposit of approximately EUR 358,500 to EUR 478,000 would be required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish banks range broadly between 3.5% and 4.5%. We can refer you to independent mortgage brokers with experience in non-resident finance.
What are the ongoing running costs for this property?
Community fees are currently recorded as nil for this development. IBI (annual property tax) has not yet been assessed, as is common for new-build properties before cadastral registration is complete. Utility connection and supply costs will depend on usage. We recommend budgeting for an estimated EUR 1,500 to 2,500 per year for IBI once assessed, though the actual figure will be confirmed by the local council.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who are unable to visit in person. For new-build properties, we can also share developer show-home footage and construction progress updates. In-person viewings can be arranged with advance notice by contacting our Costa Blanca team directly.
Does this villa have rental potential?
Sierra Cortina is located within the tourist area surrounding Benidorm, one of the busiest resort destinations on the Costa Blanca. Short-term holiday letting is permitted subject to obtaining a tourist licence from the Generalitat Valenciana. Demand in the Benidorm area is strong for villa rentals during the summer season. We recommend consulting a local property manager for realistic occupancy and income estimates specific to this location.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which can be obtained at a Spanish consulate or in person in Spain. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation fee is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point typically 10% of the price is paid. The remaining balance is transferred at the notary on the completion date, when the title deed (escritura) is signed and keys are handed over. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor throughout the process.
