About Centro, Villajoyosa
Villajoyosa is one of the most popular destinations on Spain's Costa Blanca.
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. On top of those taxes, allow approximately EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for land registry fees, and around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT for legal representation. 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 these before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers in Spain are typically required to provide a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price, as Spanish lenders generally finance up to 60–70% of the valuation for non-residents. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates are broadly in the range of 3.5–4.5%, though rates vary between lenders and depend on individual circumstances. We recommend consulting a Spanish mortgage broker early in the process.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently set at nil for this development. Annual IBI (council tax) and basura (refuse collection) charges have not yet been confirmed for this new-build property; the agent can provide estimated figures once they are available from the local authority. You should also budget for building insurance and utility standing charges.
Can I view the property remotely?
Yes. Video viewings are available and can be arranged at a time that suits you. Contact the agent to schedule either an in-person visit to the development in Centro, Villajoyosa, or a live video walkthrough.
What is the rental potential of this apartment?
Villajoyosa is an established coastal destination on the Costa Blanca, and properties in Centro benefit from proximity to Playa Centro and the town's tourist attractions, including the Valor chocolate museum and the fishing port. Holiday rental demand is seasonal, peaking from June to September. A local lettings agent will be able to advise on achievable occupancy rates and rental income for this specific unit.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is obtainable at a Spanish consulate or in person in Spain. Once you decide to proceed, a reservation fee is paid to take the property off the market, followed by a private purchase contract (arras) where typically 10% of the purchase price is paid. The remaining balance is settled at the notary on completion, at which point title transfers to you. The notary will register the transaction with the land registry. We strongly recommend instructing an independent Spanish solicitor to carry out due diligence throughout.
