Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs apply to this villa?
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 tax, allow for notary fees of approximately EUR 600–1,200, land-registry fees of approximately EUR 400–800, and legal representation at 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 non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Non-resident buyers can generally borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is typically required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain sit broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though your individual rate will depend on your lender, income profile, and the loan term. We can introduce you to a broker who works with international buyers.
What are the ongoing running costs?
There are no community fees on this property. IBI (local council tax) figures are not yet available for this new build and will be set by the local authority after registration; your lawyer can request an estimated figure during due diligence. Budget separately for utilities, home insurance, and any future landscaping or pool installation if you choose to proceed with those works.
Can I view the property remotely before visiting?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who cannot travel immediately. Our agent will walk through the villa and plot live via video call, or we can provide a pre-recorded walkthrough on request. In-person viewings in Penaguila can be arranged with 48 hours' notice.
Is there rental potential for this villa?
Penaguila is an inland rural village rather than a coastal tourist hub, so short-term holiday-let demand is more limited than on the coast. The property would suit long-term rental or use as a primary or secondary residence. Buyers considering any letting use should confirm the applicable tourist-licence rules in the Valencian Community with a local solicitor before purchase.
What are the steps to buying this property?
First, obtain your NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is required for all Spanish property transactions. Once you agree terms, a reservation fee is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras) in which a deposit of around 10% is exchanged — if the buyer withdraws, the deposit is forfeited; if the developer withdraws, they pay double. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the balance, taxes, and fees are settled and keys are handed over. We recommend instructing an independent Spanish solicitor before signing any document.
