What are the purchase costs on top of the asking price?
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%, set by the Valencian Community. ITP does not apply. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and legal fees of around 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 worth checking before you budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers in Spain typically need to provide a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price, as Spanish lenders generally offer up to 60–70% loan-to-value for non-residents. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates are broadly in the range of 3.5–4.5%, though individual offers will vary by lender and applicant profile. We can connect you with an independent mortgage broker familiar with this market.
What are the ongoing running costs for this property?
Annual IBI (council tax) has not been confirmed for this new-build property; the figure will be assessed once the property is registered. Community fees are currently recorded as nil — buyers should verify this with the developer or administrator before completion. Basura (waste collection) charges have not been confirmed and should be queried with the local authority.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who cannot travel immediately. Our agents can conduct a live walkthrough via video call, covering all rooms and communal areas. Contact us to schedule a time that suits you, and we can follow up with a full in-person visit when you are ready.
Does this property have rental potential?
Bonalba-Cotoveta is primarily a residential urbanisation rather than a coastal tourist zone, so short-term holiday letting is less typical here than in coastal areas. The property may appeal to long-term tenants given its size, parking, and proximity to Alicante. If rental income is part of your plan, we recommend speaking to a local letting agent about realistic long-term yields and any licensing requirements in Mutxamel.
What are the main steps in buying a property in Spain?
First, you will need an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is required for all property transactions in Spain. Once you agree a price, a reservation contract and payment secures the property off the market. This is typically followed by a private purchase contract (arras), where a further deposit — commonly 10% of the purchase price — is paid. The sale is then completed before a notary, who registers the transaction with the land registry. We recommend appointing an independent solicitor to carry out due diligence throughout the process.
