Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs for this villa?
As a new build, this property is subject to IVA at 10% rather than transfer tax, which amounts to EUR 54,900. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600 to EUR 1,200), land registry fees (EUR 400 to EUR 800), and legal fees of approximately 1% of the purchase price plus VAT, roughly EUR 6,633. Total purchase costs are estimated at EUR 62,000 to EUR 63,500 on top of the asking price.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident?
Non-resident buyers can typically borrow up to 60 to 70% of the purchase price from Spanish lenders, meaning a deposit of 30 to 40% is required. On a purchase price of EUR 549,000 that equates to a deposit of approximately EUR 165,000 to EUR 220,000. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish banks are broadly in the range of 3.5% to 4.5%, though terms vary by lender and applicant profile.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees for this property are EUR 0 per year. The annual IBI (local property tax) has not yet been confirmed for this new-build; buyers should request this figure from the agent before completing. Utility connection costs for new builds in this area typically include water and electricity hook-up fees payable to the relevant providers.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. OceanHome offers video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who cannot travel to Lo Marabú in person. A recorded walkthrough of the plot and show home can also be arranged on request. In-person viewings are available by appointment seven days a week.
What is the rental potential of this property?
Lo Marabú and the wider Rojales area attract holiday and long-stay rental demand from northern European visitors, particularly during spring and summer. To let short-term, owners must register a tourist rental licence with the Generalitat Valenciana and display the licence number in all advertising. The agent can provide guidance on the registration process and local demand levels.
What steps are involved in buying this property?
The first practical step is obtaining a Spanish NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is required for any property purchase. Once a price is agreed, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit (typically EUR 3,000 to EUR 6,000) is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point usually 10% of the purchase price is paid. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, at which point the remaining balance and all taxes and fees are settled. Independent legal advice from a Spanish property solicitor is strongly recommended throughout.
