Torrevieja is one of the most popular destinations on Spain's Costa Blanca.
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. On top of those taxes, allow approximately EUR 600–1,200 for the notary, EUR 400–800 for land registry fees, and around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT for a solicitor. 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 — so it is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers can typically access Spanish mortgages covering 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is generally required. Current variable and fixed rates with Spanish lenders sit broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though rates vary by lender and applicant profile. We can introduce you to independent mortgage brokers who specialise in non-resident finance.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees for this apartment are currently zero. The annual IBI (council tax) has not yet been assessed, as this is a new-build property, and the figure will be set by Torrevieja's local authority once the property is registered. Your solicitor can request an estimate from the catastro prior to completion.
How can I arrange a viewing?
Contact our team to book an in-person viewing at a time that suits you. If you are based outside Spain, we also offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call, during which an agent walks through the apartment and the complex in real time so you can ask questions as you go.
What is the rental potential for this apartment?
Torrevieja's Centro district draws strong demand from short-term holiday renters, particularly given its proximity to Playa del Cura and the town centre. A tourist licence is required to let legally on short-term platforms in the Valencian Community, and applications are handled through the Generalitat Valenciana. Your solicitor can advise on the licensing process and current conditions in the municipality.
What does the purchase process look like?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which can be obtained at a Spanish consulate or in person in Spain. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation fee secures the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point typically 10% of the purchase price is paid. The balance is settled at the notary on the day of completion, when the title deed (escritura) is signed and keys are handed over. We recommend appointing an independent solicitor before you sign anything.
