Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for 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. You should also allow for notary fees of approximately EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of approximately EUR 400–800, and legal fees 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 I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers can typically access Spanish mortgages covering 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Current variable and fixed rates generally fall in the 3.5–4.5% range, though individual offers vary by lender and applicant profile. We recommend speaking with a Spanish mortgage broker before making an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs for this property?
Estimated community fees are 115 EUR per month, covering maintenance of the communal pool, gardens and gym. The annual IBI (council tax) charge is estimated at 530 EUR. These figures are estimates. Utility costs (electricity, water) are additional and depend on personal usage.
How can I arrange a viewing?
You can book an in-person viewing through our Torrevieja office at a time that suits you. If you are outside Spain, we offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call so you can see the property, terrace and sea views before travelling. Contact us to arrange either option.
Is this property suitable for holiday rental?
El Limonar is part of Torrevieja, a coastal town with year-round tourism driven by its beaches, salt lakes and mild climate. Penthouse units with sea views and private solariums tend to attract premium short-term rental interest relative to standard apartments in the same complex. A tourist rental licence (licencia de arrendamiento turístico) from the Valencian Community is required before letting legally. We recommend consulting a local lawyer regarding current licence availability in this development.
What is the typical purchase process in Spain?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which your lawyer can help obtain. Once you agree a price, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (contrato de arras), typically with 10% of the purchase price paid at that stage. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the remaining balance and all taxes and fees are settled. The transaction is then registered at the Land Registry.
