Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of 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%, set by the Valencian Community. ITP does not apply. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800) and legal fees (around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT). Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet the Valencian Community's conditions, for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — worth checking before you budget.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish lenders typically offer non-resident buyers a loan-to-value ratio of 60–70%, meaning a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price is usually required. Variable and fixed mortgage rates for non-residents currently range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5% annually, depending on the lender and your financial profile. We can refer you to independent mortgage brokers who operate in this region.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are zero for this property. IBI (local property tax) has not yet been assessed and will be confirmed once the catastral reference is assigned after completion — ask the agent for an estimate based on comparable local properties. There are no basura (refuse collection) figures available at this stage either. Both figures should be confirmed with the local ayuntamiento before exchange.
Can I view the property remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who cannot travel to Spain immediately. Our agent can walk through the villa and plot in real time, covering all rooms and the outdoor space. In-person viewings in Penaguila can be arranged with advance notice, as the village is roughly 35 minutes from Alicante-Elche Airport.
Is this property suitable for rental income?
Penaguila sits within an area of growing interest for rural and agrotourism visitors in the Valencian Community. The plot size and detached configuration may support an application for a rural tourist rental licence (vivienda de uso turístico de interior), subject to local planning and regional tourism authority approval. We recommend taking independent legal advice on licensing requirements before purchasing with rental income in mind. We do not quote predicted yields as these depend on occupancy, management costs and licence conditions.
What is the purchase process in Spain?
The first step is obtaining an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), the tax identification number required for all Spanish property transactions. Once you have agreed a price, a reservation contract and payment secures the property off the market. This is followed by the arras contract, a private purchase agreement in which the buyer typically pays 10% of the purchase price as a deposit. Contracts are then reviewed by your appointed solicitor before completion takes place before a notary, at which point the balance and all taxes are paid and the title deed (escritura) is signed. The whole process from reservation to completion typically takes between four and twelve weeks for new builds, depending on construction stage.
