Frequently Asked Questions
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. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and legal fees of approximately 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 mortgages of up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Variable and fixed rates currently range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%, though the rate offered will depend on your financial profile and chosen lender. We can introduce you to independent mortgage brokers with experience in this market.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are estimated at EUR 155 per month, covering maintenance of the communal pool, gardens, and gymnasium. Annual IBI (council tax) is estimated at EUR 490. These figures are estimates as indicated in the legal record. A basura (refuse collection) charge may also apply; please ask the agent for the current amount.
Can I view this property remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who cannot travel to Torrevieja immediately. We can walk through the apartment and the communal areas in real time and answer questions as we go. In-person viewings can be arranged with advance notice.
Is this property suitable as a holiday rental?
El Limonar is within the Torrevieja municipality, which has an active summer rental market due to its proximity to the coast. To let the property as a tourist rental, you would need to obtain a Valencian Community tourist licence before advertising. Rental demand in Torrevieja is typically highest from June to September. We recommend speaking to a local property manager for realistic income expectations before committing.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, you will need an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), the tax identification number required for all Spanish property transactions. 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), typically with 10% of the purchase price paid at that stage. The balance is paid at the notary on the completion date, when the title deed (escritura) is signed and ownership transfers to you. The whole process from reservation to completion typically takes six to twelve weeks for new builds, depending on construction stage.
