About La Hoya, Torrevieja
Torrevieja is one of the most popular destinations on Spain's Costa Blanca for international property buyers. With over 300 days of sunshine per year, excellent healthcare facilities, and a large expat community, the area offers an outstanding quality of life.
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 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 — and it is worth checking before you budget.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Spanish lenders generally offer non-residents up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is typically required. Current variable and fixed rates with Spanish banks range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%. A mortgage broker with experience in Spanish property can help you compare products before you make an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are estimated at 100 EUR per month, covering the communal pool, gymnasium, lift, and shared grounds. Annual IBI (local property tax) is estimated at 420 EUR. These figures are estimates and may be subject to change. Utility contracts for electricity and water are set up separately by the owner.
How can I arrange a viewing?
In-person viewings can be arranged through our Torrevieja office at a time that suits you. If you are based outside Spain, we also offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call, allowing you to walk through the property and ask questions in real time before committing to travel.
What is the rental potential for this apartment?
Torrevieja is a popular destination for short-term and seasonal visitors, and properties in El Limonar with sea views, a communal pool, and terrace access attract consistent demand across spring and summer. To let the property legally, you will need to register for a tourist rental licence with the Valencian Community authorities. An agent familiar with the local rental market can advise on expected occupancy levels for this type of property.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (foreigner identification number), which can be obtained at a local police station or through a Spanish consulate in your home country. Once you agree a price, a reservation contract and payment secures the property while due diligence is completed. This is typically followed by a private purchase contract (arras), where a further deposit is paid. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, who registers the title in your name with the land registry. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to represent your interests throughout.
