About La Hoya, Torrevieja
Torrevieja is one of the most popular destinations on Spain's Costa Blanca.
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. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800) and legal/conveyancing 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 — so it is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Non-resident buyers in Spain can generally access mortgages covering 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is typically required. Current variable and fixed rates from Spanish lenders range broadly between 3.5% and 4.5%, though terms vary by lender and applicant profile. We recommend consulting a Spanish mortgage broker early in the process.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees for this development are currently zero. Annual IBI (council tax) figures are not yet available for this new-build property and will be confirmed once the development receives its catastral registration. There are no basura (waste collection) figures available at present. We recommend budgeting for both once the property is registered.
How can I arrange a viewing?
You can book an in-person visit to the El Chaparral site at a time that suits you. We also offer video viewings for buyers who are not currently in Spain, allowing you to take a guided tour of the development and show home remotely before committing to travel.
Is this property suitable for holiday letting?
Torrevieja attracts a high volume of visitors throughout the year, with demand concentrated around the summer months. El Chaparral's proximity to the Salinas natural park and the coastline makes it appealing to both short and longer-stay renters. You would need to obtain a tourist rental licence from the Valencian Community before letting the property commercially. We can put you in touch with local management companies who can advise on realistic occupancy patterns.
What steps are involved in purchasing this property?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which can be obtained via a Spanish consulate or in person in Spain. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation deposit is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point a larger deposit — typically 10% of the price — is paid. The remaining balance is settled at the notary on the completion date, when ownership formally transfers. Your solicitor will handle due diligence, mortgage coordination and post-completion registration.
