About Playas del Torres, Villajoyosa

What purchase taxes and costs apply to this property?
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. 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. Additional costs to budget for include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and legal fees at around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
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 for non-residents are broadly in the range of 3.5–4.5%, though rates vary by lender and your financial profile. We recommend obtaining a mortgage agreement in principle before proceeding.
What are the ongoing running costs for this penthouse?
Community fees are estimated at EUR 165 per month, covering maintenance of the communal pool, garden, gymnasium, and lift. Annual IBI (council tax) is estimated at EUR 960. Both figures are estimates as noted in the legal record. You should also allow for utilities and contents insurance when planning your annual budget.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. In addition to in-person viewings, we offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who cannot travel to Villajoyosa immediately. Contact our team to book either option at a time that suits you.
What is the rental potential of this property?
Playas Del Torres is an established coastal area with consistent summer demand for short-term holiday lets. As a top-floor penthouse with sea views, a solarium, and a Jacuzzi, this property is well suited to the tourist rental market. A Valencian Community tourist licence (Vivienda de Uso Turístico) is required before letting legally. Speak to our team or a local property manager for occupancy and income guidance specific to this location.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which can be obtained through a Spanish consulate or on arrival in Spain. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation deposit is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (contrato de arras), at which point typically 10% of the purchase price is paid. The balance is transferred at the notary on the completion date, when title formally passes to you.
