Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for 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% of the purchase price. ITP does not apply. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and legal representation at 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 — so it is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers in Spain can typically borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is generally required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish lenders range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5% per annum, though your individual rate will depend on the lender, your financial profile and the loan term. A Spanish mortgage broker or your legal representative can arrange pre-approval before you commit.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently recorded as nil; confirm the final figure with the developer prior to completion. Annual IBI (council tax) has not yet been assessed, as this is a new-build property — the local authority will raise the first bill once the property is registered on the catastro. You should also allow for annual home insurance and utility standing charges.
Can I view the apartment remotely before visiting in person?
Yes. OceanHome offers video viewings via WhatsApp or video call, which can include a walkthrough of the show apartment and the communal areas. This is particularly useful if you are travelling from outside Spain and want to assess the property before arranging an in-person visit. Contact us to schedule a convenient time.
Is this apartment suitable for short-term holiday rental?
Playas Del Torres has a well-established coastal rental market, with demand concentrated between April and October. To let legally on a short-term basis in the Valencian Community you will need to register the property and obtain a tourist licence from the regional authority. Rental yields will vary depending on how the property is managed and the weeks available. We recommend speaking to a local letting agent for realistic occupancy and income projections.
What are the main steps in the purchase process?
First, obtain an NIE (foreigner identification number) from a Spanish consulate or in Spain — this is required for all property transactions. Once you agree to proceed, 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 compraventa), at which point a further payment is typically made. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the balance is paid and keys are handed over. We strongly recommend instructing an independent Spanish solicitor to represent you throughout.
