Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs for 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%. ITP does not apply. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and legal fees at approximately 1% of the purchase price plus VAT. Note that tax is charged on the higher of the price paid and the property's official reference value, so treat any figure 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 relating to age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — and it is worth checking these before you finalise your budget.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage in Spain?
Yes. Spanish banks typically lend non-residents up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation, whichever is lower, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Variable and fixed rates currently range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5% annually, though individual terms will depend on your financial profile and chosen lender. We recommend obtaining an agreement in principle before making an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees for this villa are nil. Annual IBI (council tax) and basura (waste collection) figures have not yet been confirmed for this new build and should be requested directly from the agent before exchange. These will be set once the property is registered with the local authority.
Can I view the property remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who cannot travel to La Nucía immediately. A member of our team will walk through the villa and plot with you live via video call, covering all rooms, outdoor areas, and the surrounding San Rafael neighbourhood. In-person viewings can be arranged with advance notice.
Is this villa suitable for holiday letting?
San Rafael and the wider La Nucía area attract rental demand from visitors to the Costa Blanca, with Benidorm and Altea both within a short drive. A villa of this size, with a private pool and multiple bedrooms, is well placed for the premium short-term rental market. A tourist rental licence (licencia de alquiler turístico) is required in the Valencian Community, and we recommend confirming the licence conditions with a local lawyer before purchase.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, obtain a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which is required for any property purchase. 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 (contrato de arras), at which point typically 10% of the purchase price is paid. The transaction completes before a notary, who registers the deed with the Land Registry. We recommend instructing an independent Spanish lawyer to act for you throughout.
