Market Overview
New Developments in Orihuela Costa
Orihuela Costa stretches across seven distinct residential zones — from Punta Prima on the coast to Villamartín further inland — and is experiencing sustained new-build activity. Key development areas include La Zenia and Playa Flamenca for mid-range apartment complexes, Cabo Roig for seafront townhouses, and Campoamor for detached villas. Two-bedroom apartments in gated complexes typically start at €175,000, while three-bedroom villas with a private pool range from €320,000 to €550,000 depending on proximity to the coast.
New developments in Orihuela Costa are designed for year-round living, with open-plan layouts, large terraces oriented for maximum sun exposure, and energy-efficient specifications including aerothermal climate systems and solar pre-installation. Communal amenities are a particular strength of the area’s complexes: heated pools, padel courts, co-working spaces, and children’s play areas are standard in most 2025–2026 launches. The La Zenia Boulevard shopping centre and multiple golf courses add to the area’s draw.

Buying Off-Plan in Orihuela Costa
Resort-style developments dominate the Villamartín, Campoamor, and Playa Flamenca zones, with gated complexes featuring communal pools and padel courts as standard. Two-bedroom apartments start around €175,000, while detached villas reach €550,000. The area's seven distinct neighbourhoods give buyers a range of settings — from cliff-top sea views to fairway-adjacent plots — all within a 15-minute drive of each other.
The Off-Plan Buying Process
- 1
Reservation & NIE
Pay a reservation fee (typically €3,000–€10,000) to take the property off the market. You will need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number) and a Spanish bank account, both of which your lawyer can arrange.
- 2
Private Purchase Contract
Within 30 days, sign the contrato privado de compraventa and pay 10% of the purchase price (minus the reservation). This contract locks in the price and your chosen customisation options. Your deposit is protected by a bank guarantee under Ley 57/68.
- 3
Stage Payments During Build
For off-plan properties, further payments of 20–30% are due at construction milestones (foundations, structure, finishes). Each payment is backed by the mandatory bank guarantee — if the developer fails to deliver, you get your money back.
- 4
Pre-Delivery Snagging Inspection
Before completion, you (or your appointed surveyor) conduct a snagging inspection of the finished property. The developer must remedy any defects before handover. A retention amount of 5–10% of the final payment is typically held back until snagging items are resolved.
- 5
Completion & Notary Signing
Sign the escritura pública (title deed) before a notary, pay the remaining balance (usually 60–70% of the purchase price), and receive your keys. The notary registers the property at the Land Registry in your name. Typical completion timeline for off-plan: 18–24 months from reservation.
New Build Costs & Taxes
| Cost Item | Rate | Note |
|---|---|---|
| IVA (VAT) | 10% | Applies to all new-build purchases nationwide — replaces the ITP (transfer tax) charged on resale properties |
| AJD (Stamp Duty) | 1.5% | Rate set by the Valencian Community regional government |
| Notary Fees | 0.5–1% | Scaled by property price; fixed by government tariff |
| Legal Fees | 1–1.5% | Independent lawyer recommended — never use the developer's lawyer |
| Land Registry | 0.5–1% | Registering the title deed in your name |
| Total Purchase Cost | ~13.5–15% | New-build total on top of the property price in Valencian Community |

Insider Tip — Orihuela Costa
Orihuela Costa spans multiple sub-areas with very different characters. Visit at least three zones (e.g., La Zenia, Campoamor, and Villamartín) before committing. Sea-view premiums can be 15–20% — but properties near the golf courses rent equally well year-round and offer more space per euro.
