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%, 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 (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 — and it is worth confirming this before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers can typically access Spanish mortgages, though lenders generally require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Variable and fixed interest rates currently range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%, depending on the lender and your financial profile. We recommend speaking to a Spanish mortgage broker early in the process.
What are the ongoing running costs for this penthouse?
Estimated community fees are EUR 160 per month, covering building maintenance, the communal pool, gymnasium, and sauna. Annual IBI (local property tax) is estimated at EUR 320. Both figures are estimates at this stage and may change once the development is fully registered. The annual basura (rubbish collection) charge has not yet been confirmed — ask the agent for the latest figure.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings by appointment, which are a practical first step for buyers based outside Spain or those who want to shortlist properties before travelling. Contact us to arrange a live video walkthrough or to request additional photographs and development plans.
Is this property suitable as a rental investment?
Relleu is an inland village with a distinct character, and short-term rental demand differs from coastal resort areas. Tourist rental licences in the Valencian Community are subject to regional and local authority rules, and availability of licences in Relleu should be confirmed before purchase. The agent can advise on current regulations and expected occupancy patterns for this area.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, you will need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which can be obtained through a Spanish consulate or by a solicitor acting under power of attorney. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation deposit is typically paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), where a further deposit — usually 10% of the purchase price — is paid. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, at which point the balance and all taxes are paid and the title deed (escritura) is signed. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to handle due diligence throughout.
