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 roughly EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for land registry fees, and around 1% 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) — worth checking before you budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer in Spain?
Non-resident buyers can typically borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Interest rates for Spanish mortgages currently range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5% depending on the lender and product. We can introduce you to independent mortgage brokers experienced with international clients.
What are the estimated running costs for this penthouse?
Community fees are estimated at EUR 115 per month, which covers maintenance of the communal pool and shared areas. Annual IBI (council tax) is estimated at EUR 390. Both figures are estimates at this stage. There is no confirmed basura (refuse collection) charge on file; ask the agent for the latest figure.
Can I view the property remotely before visiting in person?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who are not yet in Spain. Our agents can walk through the apartment, the communal areas, and the surrounding neighbourhood in real time. In-person viewings can be arranged seven days a week.
Is this property suitable as a rental investment?
Torrevieja Centro is a year-round tourist destination with demand for both short-term holiday lets and longer winter rentals, particularly from northern European visitors. A tourist rental licence is required for short-term lets in the Valencian Community and must be obtained before marketing the property. We recommend speaking to a local property manager to assess realistic occupancy levels for this type of unit.
What are the main steps in the purchase process?
First, obtain a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which is required to sign any legal document or open a bank account in Spain. Once you have agreed a price, a reservation contract and deposit typically take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), where a further deposit is paid, and finally completion before a Spanish notary, at which point title transfers to you. We strongly recommend instructing an independent solicitor to carry out due diligence before signing anything.
