Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for beyond 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% of the purchase price. ITP does not apply. Additional costs typically include notary fees (EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (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) — worth checking before you budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers can typically obtain a mortgage in Spain, though lenders generally require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain sit broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though individual offers vary by lender and applicant profile. We can refer you to independent brokers who specialise in non-resident finance.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Estimated community fees are EUR 120 per month, covering maintenance of communal areas and the pool. The estimated annual IBI (council tax) is EUR 660. Please note both figures are estimates — final amounts may differ slightly once the property is registered. Utility costs (electricity, water, internet) will depend on your usage.
Can I view this apartment remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who cannot travel immediately. Our agents can walk through the apartment and the communal areas in real time and answer questions as they go. In-person viewings in La Zenia can be arranged at short notice for those already on the Costa Blanca.
What is the rental potential for this apartment in La Zenia?
La Zenia attracts strong short-term tourist rental demand year-round, supported by the La Zenia Boulevard, nearby beaches and good transport links. A tourist licence is required to let the property legally on short-term platforms; licences in this part of Orihuela Costa are subject to local regulations and availability. We recommend speaking with a local letting agent for current occupancy and rate data specific to new-build units in this district.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which can be obtained at a consulate abroad or a police station in Spain. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation fee is typically paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (contrato de arras or developer's stage-payment schedule for new builds), and finally completion is signed before a notary, at which point the balance and taxes are settled and keys are handed over. We strongly recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to act on your behalf throughout.
