Frequently Asked Questions
What are the estimated purchase costs on top of the EUR 285,000 asking price?
As this is a new-build property, VAT (IVA) applies at 10%, which equals EUR 28,500. You should also budget for notary fees of approximately EUR 600 to EUR 1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400 to EUR 800, and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (approximately EUR 2,850 plus VAT). Total additional costs typically fall between EUR 32,000 and EUR 34,000.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish lenders generally offer non-residents a loan-to-value ratio of 60 to 70%, meaning a deposit of 30 to 40% is required. On EUR 285,000 that equates to a deposit of EUR 85,500 to EUR 114,000. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5% annually, though individual offers vary by lender and applicant profile.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently listed as EUR 0; this figure may change once the development is complete and a community of owners is established. The annual IBI (council tax) has not yet been assessed for this new-build. You should allow for utility contracts (electricity, water) and home insurance as additional annual costs.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. OceanHome offers video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who cannot travel immediately. We can walk through the show apartment or the development in real time and answer questions as we go. Contact us to schedule a remote or in-person visit.
Is this apartment suitable for holiday rental?
The development is 500 metres from the beach in Playas Del Torres, which is an area with demand from summer visitors. Holiday letting in the Valencian Community requires a tourist licence (Vivienda de Uso Turístico) from the Generalitat Valenciana before any rentals can be advertised. We recommend confirming licence availability with your legal representative before purchase.
What steps are involved in buying this property?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE number (tax identification number for foreigners), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once you have agreed the price, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit, typically EUR 3,000 to EUR 6,000, is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa) where around 10% of the purchase price is exchanged. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, at which point the remaining balance and all taxes and fees are paid and the title deed (escritura) is signed.
