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 at approximately 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 budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers in Spain typically require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price, as Spanish lenders generally finance up to 60–70% for non-residents. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%, though rates vary by lender and applicant profile. We recommend obtaining an agreement in principle before making an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs for this property?
Community fees for this apartment are currently nil. The annual IBI (council tax) figure has not yet been assigned, as the property is a new build; the agent can advise once the catastral reference is issued. Basura (refuse collection) charges are also to be confirmed. These figures will be established once the property is registered.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who cannot travel immediately. Our agents can conduct a live video walkthrough of the show unit or development, covering the apartment layout, communal areas, and surrounding location. Contact us to arrange a convenient time.
Is this property suitable for holiday rental?
Desamparados is a residential inland area within Orihuela and is not a primary tourist rental market in the way that coastal Orihuela Costa is. Short-term tourist licence availability is subject to local regulations, which change periodically. If rental income is part of your planning, we recommend taking specific legal advice on current licensing conditions for this zone before purchase.
What are the main steps in the purchase process?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE (foreigner identification number), which is required for any property transaction. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation contract is signed and a reservation deposit paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point a further deposit — typically 10% of the purchase price — is paid. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, at which point the balance is transferred and the title deed (escritura) is signed. Your solicitor will then register the deed at the land registry.
