About Urbanizacion Santa Rosa, Torrox
Torrox is one of the most popular destinations on Spain's Costa Blanca.
What purchase costs should I budget for beyond the asking price?
As a new build in Andalucía, this purchase carries IVA (VAT) at 10% of the purchase price plus AJD stamp duty at 1.2%, set by the Andalucían autonomous region. ITP does not apply to new-build purchases. 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 — worth checking before you budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers can typically obtain a mortgage from a Spanish lender, though most banks require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price, as they generally lend up to 60–70% of the property value. Current variable and fixed rates are broadly in the range of 3.5–4.5%, though individual offers vary by lender and applicant profile. We recommend speaking to an independent mortgage broker before you begin your search.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees for this development are currently listed at zero; buyers should verify this with the agent and ask for the approved community budget before signing. IBI (council tax) and basura (rubbish collection charge) figures are not yet available for this new-build property. We recommend requesting these figures once the property is registered with the local catastro.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. In addition to in-person viewings, we offer video viewings for buyers who cannot travel to Torrox at this stage. Contact the OceanHome team to schedule a live video walkthrough of the apartment and the communal areas.
Is this apartment suitable as a rental investment?
Torrox Costa and the surrounding Axarquía coast attract visitors throughout the year, and Urbanización Santa Rosa is within driving distance of the beach, which supports demand for short-term holiday lets. Rental licences for new-build properties in Andalucía are subject to regional registration requirements. We advise speaking to a local lawyer about the licensing process before committing to a rental strategy, and we are happy to provide agent contacts in the area.
What does the purchase process involve?
The first step for any buyer is to obtain a NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), the tax identification number required for all property transactions in Spain. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation contract is signed and a reservation deposit paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by the arras contract, a formal private purchase agreement under which a larger deposit is paid — typically 10% of the purchase price. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the remaining balance and all taxes and fees are settled and title transfers to the buyer.
