Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs apply to this villa?
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%, both set at the autonomous region level. ITP does not apply. Notary fees typically range from EUR 600 to EUR 1,200 and land registry fees from EUR 400 to EUR 800. Allow a further 1% of the purchase price plus VAT for legal fees. Note that tax is charged on the higher of the price paid and the property's official reference value, so treat any estimate based on the asking price as a minimum. Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet the Valencian Community's conditions, for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — worth checking before you budget.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Spanish banks typically lend non-residents up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation, whichever is lower, so you should plan for a deposit of 30–40%. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain generally range from 3.5% to 4.5% AER, though your individual rate will depend on your financial profile and the lender.
What are the ongoing running costs for this villa?
There are no community fees registered for this property. The annual IBI (council tax) figure is not yet available for this new build and will be confirmed once the property is registered with the local authority. There are no basura (refuse collection) figures on record at this stage either. We recommend budgeting for utility connections and insurance in addition to the above.
How can I arrange a viewing?
Viewings can be arranged in person at a time convenient to you. If you are based outside Spain, we also offer video viewings so you can tour the property remotely before committing to travel. Contact the OceanHome team to book either option.
Does this villa have rental potential?
La Nucía and the surrounding Costa Blanca North area attract a mix of long-term residents and short-term visitors, particularly those visiting the nearby coast and Benidorm. A tourist rental licence would be required for short-term letting in the Valencian Community. We recommend speaking with a local property manager to assess realistic occupancy and income for this area.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), the tax identification number required for all property transactions 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), typically with 10% of the purchase price paid at that stage. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the balance and all applicable taxes are paid and the title deed is signed over to you.
