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%. ITP does not apply. On top of those taxes, allow roughly EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for land registry fees, and around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT for a solicitor. 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 worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Spanish lenders typically offer non-residents a loan-to-value of 60–70%, meaning you would need a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain generally range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%, though rates vary by lender and personal circumstances. We can refer you to independent mortgage brokers who specialise in the Costa Blanca market.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are estimated at EUR 110 per month, covering shared areas, the communal pool, and security. Annual IBI (council tax) is estimated at EUR 430. Both figures are estimates as noted in the listing record; the exact amounts will be confirmed during the purchase process. There is no basura (rubbish collection) fee on record — your solicitor can verify whether this is included in the IBI or billed separately.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call, where one of our agents walks through the property and the complex in real time. This is a useful first step before arranging an in-person visit. Contact us to schedule a time that suits you.
Is this property suitable as a rental investment?
The Orihuela inland area attracts a mix of long-term residents and golfers. Long-term rental demand in Desamparados-Hurchillo-Torremendo is primarily residential. If you intend to let the property short-term, you will need a tourist rental licence from the Valencian Community authorities, and compliance with regional regulations. We recommend speaking with a local property manager to assess current rental demand and achievable yields in this specific area before committing.
What steps are involved in the purchase process?
First, you will need an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), the tax identification number required for all property transactions in Spain. Once you have agreed on terms, a reservation fee is typically paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point a further deposit — commonly 10% of the purchase price — is paid and both parties are legally bound. The transaction is then completed before a Spanish notary, who registers the title in your name at the land registry. We strongly recommend appointing an independent solicitor to carry out due diligence throughout.
