About Centro, Villajoyosa
Villajoyosa 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 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. Tax is charged on the higher of the price paid and the property's official reference value, so treat any figure based on the asking price as a minimum. 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 the Valencian Community'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 on this property as a non-resident?
Non-resident buyers in Spain typically need to provide a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price, as Spanish lenders generally finance up to 60–70% for non-residents. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates are broadly in the range of 3.5–4.5%, though your actual rate will depend on your lender, financial profile and the loan term agreed. We can connect you with independent mortgage brokers who work with international buyers.
What are the ongoing running costs for this penthouse?
Community fees for this development are currently zero. IBI (annual property tax) and basura (waste collection) figures are not yet available for this new-build; the agent can provide estimated amounts once the property is registered. You should also budget for utility contracts (water, electricity, internet) which are set up by the buyer on completion.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp, FaceTime or any video call platform of your choice, allowing you to tour the development and ask questions in real time. We can also provide developer floor plans and additional imagery. In-person viewings in Centro, Villajoyosa can be arranged at a time to suit you.
Is this property suitable for short-term rental?
Villajoyosa's Centro neighbourhood attracts visitors drawn to Playa Centro, the old town and the local food culture, which supports demand for short-term holiday lets. You will need a tourist licence from the Valencian Community authorities before renting. We recommend seeking advice from a local property manager on occupancy patterns and regulatory requirements before committing to a rental strategy. We do not quote yield percentages as these depend on individual management, pricing and occupancy.
What does the purchase process involve?
The first practical step is obtaining an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), the tax identification number required for all Spanish property transactions. Once you agree terms, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de arras), at which point typically 10% of the price is paid. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the balance is paid, taxes are settled and the title deed (escritura) is signed. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to carry out due diligence throughout.
