Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs apply to this property?
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. On top of taxes, budget for 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 the region's conditions — for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — so it is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Spanish banks typically lend non-residents up to 60–70% of the purchase price or the bank's own valuation (whichever is lower), so you should expect to provide a deposit of 30–40%. Variable and fixed rates currently range from roughly 3.5% to 4.5%, though offers vary between lenders. A mortgage broker with experience in Spanish non-resident lending can help compare products across multiple banks.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently set at zero, though you should confirm this figure and any planned future charges with the developer before exchange. IBI (annual property tax) has not yet been assessed for this new-build unit; the figure will be set by the local council once the property is registered. Refuse collection charges are also not yet available. Your solicitor can request all confirmed cost figures from the developer prior to signing.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. OceanHome can arrange a live video viewing via WhatsApp or FaceTime at a time that suits you. We can walk through the show unit or available plots in real time and answer questions on the spot. If you would prefer to visit in person, we can organise accompanied viewings seven days a week.
Is this property suitable for holiday rental?
Lo Marabu and the wider Rojales area attract steady demand from short-stay visitors, particularly golfers and those visiting the Costa Blanca South. Ground-floor bungalows with private outdoor space are among the more lettable property types in this corridor. To let legally as a tourist rental in the Valencian Community, you must obtain a tourist rental licence (Vivienda de Uso Turístico) from the regional authority before advertising. Your solicitor can advise on the application process.
What are the main steps in the Spanish purchase process?
First, obtain a Spanish tax identification number (NIE) — this is required to sign any legal documents and can be arranged through a consulate or a local solicitor with power of attorney. Once you have agreed a price, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit paid, typically EUR 3,000–6,000, which takes the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point a further payment is usually made, and the transaction completes before a notary, at which point the remaining balance, taxes, and fees are settled.
