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 costs to budget for 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 the region's conditions — for example, age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — so it is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers can typically access mortgages in Spain, though lenders generally require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%, depending on the lender and your financial profile. We recommend speaking with an independent mortgage broker who specialises in Spanish property finance.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Estimated community fees are EUR 130 per month, covering maintenance of communal areas, the pool, gardens, and security. Estimated annual IBI (local property tax) is EUR 520. Please note both figures are estimates at this stage. There is no confirmed basura (refuse collection) charge on file; your solicitor can confirm this before completion.
Can I view this property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who are unable to travel immediately. Our agents can conduct a live walkthrough via video call at a time that suits you, covering the apartment, communal areas, and the surrounding neighbourhood. Contact us to arrange a remote or in-person viewing.
Is this apartment suitable for short-term rental?
Bonalba-Cotoveta is a residential area rather than a tourist resort zone. Demand here tends to come from long-term tenants rather than short-term holiday lets. If rental income is a priority, we recommend discussing the local letting market with our team before proceeding, as rental licensing requirements in the Valencian Community also apply.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE number (a tax identification number for foreign buyers), which your solicitor can apply for on your behalf. Once you have agreed a price, a reservation deposit is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), where a further deposit — typically 10% of the agreed price — is paid. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the remaining balance is transferred and the title deed is signed. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to handle due diligence throughout.
