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%. ITP does not apply. On top of those taxes, allow approximately EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for land registry fees, and around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT for legal representation. 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 — worth checking before you budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers in Spain typically need a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price, as Spanish banks generally lend up to 60–70% of the valuation for non-residents. Current variable and fixed rates broadly sit in the 3.5–4.5% range, though the rate offered will depend on your lender and financial profile. We can refer you to a mortgage broker with experience in Spanish property finance.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
As this is a new-build development, the IBI (annual council tax) figure has not yet been assessed and community fees have not been formally set. Once the development is registered and the community of owners is constituted, both figures will be confirmed. We will share these as soon as they are available. You should also allow for annual rubbish collection (basura) charges set by Torrevieja town hall.
How do I arrange a viewing?
You can book an in-person viewing through our Torrevieja office at a time that suits you. If you are based outside Spain, we can also arrange a live video viewing via WhatsApp or video call, walking you through the show unit and the development's communal areas in real time. Contact us to confirm availability.
Is this apartment suitable for holiday rental?
Torrevieja is a designated tourist municipality with strong year-round demand, particularly from summer visitors and short-break travellers. Short-term rental licences (Vivienda de Uso Turístico) can be applied for through the Valencian Community's regional authorities. The proximity to the beach and the inclusion of a communal pool are practical advantages for rental appeal. We do not quote yield projections, but your legal adviser can assist with the licence application process.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which your solicitor can apply for on your behalf. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation fee secures the property while due diligence is carried out. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point a further deposit — typically 10% of the purchase price — is paid. The sale completes before a notary, who registers the title deed. For a new build, completion may follow a construction or delivery timeline set by the developer.
