Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs apply to this apartment?
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 include notary fees of approximately EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of approximately EUR 400–800, and legal fees of 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 — and 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 banks generally lend up to 60–70% of the property value for non-residents. Variable and fixed mortgage rates currently run at approximately 3.5–4.5%, depending on the lender and your financial profile. We recommend engaging a mortgage broker familiar with the Spanish market before making an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Estimated community fees are EUR 210 per month, covering communal areas, the pool, and shared facilities. The estimated annual IBI (local council tax) is EUR 220. These figures are estimates as indicated by the listing record. Utility costs for a property of this size will vary with usage.
Can I view the property remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who cannot travel to Relleu immediately. To arrange either an in-person or remote viewing, please contact the OceanHome team directly and we will coordinate access with the development.
Is this property suitable as a rental investment?
Relleu is an inland village rather than a tourist zone, so demand for short-term holiday lets is lower than on the Costa Blanca coast. The property may suit medium or long-term residential letting. We recommend taking local rental market advice before committing to an investment strategy based on rental income.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which can be obtained through a Spanish consulate or via a lawyer in Spain. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation fee is paid to take the property off the market, followed by a private purchase contract (arras) where typically 10% of the purchase price is exchanged. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, at which point the remaining balance and all taxes are paid. We strongly recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to oversee each stage.
