About Centro, Torrevieja
Torrevieja is one of the most popular destinations on Spain's Costa Blanca.
What are the purchase costs on top of 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 that, budget for notary fees of approximately EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400–800, and a solicitor's fee of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT. 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 non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Spanish lenders typically offer non-residents a loan-to-value ratio of 60–70%, meaning a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price is usually required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though individual offers depend on your financial profile and chosen lender. We can introduce you to an independent mortgage broker with experience in cross-border applications.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees for this property are currently nil. IBI (annual council tax) figures are not yet available as this is a new-build; your solicitor will be able to obtain the catastral value once the development is registered. There is no basura (waste collection) figure available at this stage either. Your solicitor can confirm all annual charges before exchange.
How can I arrange a viewing?
Contact us to arrange an in-person viewing at a time that suits you. If you are based outside Spain, we can organise a live video viewing via WhatsApp or video call, allowing you to walk through the property and ask questions in real time. We can also arrange accompanied viewings for buyers already in the Torrevieja area.
What is the rental potential of this property?
Torrevieja is one of the Costa Blanca's most active tourist rental markets, with strong summer demand from domestic and international visitors. As a fifth-floor unit with communal pool and solarium access, this penthouse is well positioned for short-term holiday lettings. Rental licences in the Valencian Community are regulated at regional level; your solicitor can confirm the current licensing requirements before purchase. We do not quote yield percentages, as these depend on occupancy, management costs and seasonal pricing.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, you will need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which can be obtained through a Spanish consulate or via a representative in Spain. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit paid to secure the property. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point typically 10% of the purchase price is paid. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the balance, taxes and fees are settled and the title deeds are signed over to you.
