Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the EUR 775,480 asking price?
As a new-build, this villa is subject to IVA (VAT) at 10% rather than the resale transfer tax (ITP). That adds approximately EUR 77,548. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (EUR 400–800), and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT, so roughly EUR 9,305 including VAT at 21%. Total purchase costs are generally estimated at 12–14% of the price for new-builds in the Valencia region.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish banks typically lend up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation (whichever is lower) to non-resident buyers, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Based on EUR 775,480, that implies a minimum deposit of around EUR 232,644. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain generally range from 3.5% to 4.5% per annum, though the rate offered will depend on your financial profile and chosen lender.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees for this property are currently registered at EUR 0 per year. An IBI (annual property tax) figure is not yet available, as the catastro reference has not been assigned. Once registered, IBI on a villa of this value in the Rojales area typically falls in the range of EUR 400–900 per year, though this is an estimate only. You should also budget for home insurance and utilities.
Can I view the property before travelling to Spain?
Yes. OceanHome can arrange a video viewing via video call so you can see the plot, the surrounding area, and any show unit or construction progress without travelling. If you then wish to visit in person, we can arrange an accompanied viewing in Lo Marabú and combine it with viewings of other properties in Rojales on the same day.
Is this property suitable as a rental investment?
Lo Marabú and the wider Rojales area attract both long-term expatriate residents and short-stay visitors, given its proximity to the Guardamar beaches and several golf courses. New-build villas with private outdoor space and a solarium are generally in demand for holiday rental in the Vega Baja del Segura area. You will need a Valencian tourist licence to let the property on a short-term basis; your legal adviser can guide you through the application process.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, you obtain an NIE number (a Spanish tax identification number for foreign buyers), which your solicitor can apply for on your behalf. A reservation fee, typically EUR 6,000–10,000, is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (contrato de arras or developer's stage-payment contract for new-builds), where a further deposit is paid. For new-builds, stage payments are common during construction. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, at which point the balance is paid and the title deed (escritura) is signed and registered.
