Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs should I budget for?
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, allow roughly EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for land registry fees, and around 1% plus VAT for legal representation. 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 — and are worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers in Spain can typically borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates generally range between 3.5% and 4.5% annually, though your rate will depend on your lender, financial profile, and the term you choose. We can refer you to independent mortgage brokers experienced in non-resident applications.
What are the ongoing running costs for this property?
Community fees for this property are currently recorded as nil. The annual IBI (council tax) figure has not yet been confirmed for this new-build unit; your solicitor can obtain this from the local cadastre once the property is registered. The energy performance certificate is rated G. Budget separately for utilities, contents insurance, and any optional garage fee if applicable.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling?
Yes. We offer video viewings by appointment, which allow you to tour the unit and ask questions in real time without needing to travel. For new-build developments we can also share show-flat footage and detailed floor plans. Contact us to arrange a convenient time.
Is this property suitable for short-term holiday rental?
Torrevieja is a recognised tourist area on the Costa Blanca with strong seasonal demand, and Centro is well placed given its proximity to two beaches and the town's amenities. A tourist rental licence is required under Valencian Community regulations; eligibility and the application process should be confirmed with a local solicitor. We do not quote guaranteed yield figures, but the agent can provide comparable rental data for this area on request.
What are the main steps in the purchase process?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which you can obtain at a Spanish consulate or in person in Spain. Once you agree terms, a reservation fee is paid to take 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 paid at the notary on completion, when ownership transfers and the title deed is signed. Your solicitor will then register the deed with the Land Registry on your behalf.
