Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the EUR 365,000 asking price?
Because this is a new-build property, IVA applies at 10% rather than the resale transfer tax (ITP). That means EUR 36,500 in VAT. On top of that, you should budget EUR 600-1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400-800 for land registry fees, and roughly 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (approximately EUR 4,400) for a Spanish solicitor. Total additional costs typically fall between EUR 42,000 and EUR 43,000.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish banks generally lend up to 60-70% of the purchase price to non-residents, meaning a minimum deposit of 30-40% is required. On EUR 365,000 that equates to a deposit of roughly EUR 109,500 to EUR 146,000. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates are broadly in the 3.5-4.5% range, though individual offers vary by lender and applicant profile.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently listed as EUR 0 per month. Please verify this directly with the developer or managing agent before exchanging contracts, as fees may be set once the development is fully completed. Annual IBI (council tax) and basura (refuse collection) figures are not yet available for this development. Ask the agent for an update once the property receives its licence of first occupation.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. OceanHome can arrange a video viewing via WhatsApp or video call so you can walk through the apartment and ask questions in real time. In-person viewings at La Zenia are also available by appointment.
Does this property have rental potential?
La Zenia falls within the Orihuela Costa tourist zone, where short-term holiday rentals are popular. A tourist rental licence (Vivienda Turística) is required from the Generalitat Valenciana before letting the property. Demand in this area is driven by its proximity to La Zenia Boulevard, the beach and multiple golf courses. Speak to the agent for guidance on the licensing process and local rental management companies.
What does the buying process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), obtainable at a Spanish consulate or in Spain. Once a price is agreed, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit (typically EUR 3,000-6,000) is paid to secure the property. A private purchase contract follows, with a further deposit of around 10% of the purchase price. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, where the balance is transferred and the title deed (escritura) is signed in your name.
