Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the EUR 339,000 asking price?
As this is a new build in Alicante province, you pay IVA at 10% rather than transfer tax. On EUR 339,000 that is EUR 33,900. Additional costs include notary fees (approximately EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (EUR 400–800), and legal/conveyancing fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (approximately EUR 3,390 before VAT). Budget for total purchase costs of roughly 12–13% above the sale price.
Can non-residents get a mortgage for this property?
Yes. Spanish banks typically lend up to 60–70% of the purchase price to non-residents, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. On EUR 339,000 that equates to a deposit of approximately EUR 101,700 to EUR 135,600. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though rates vary by lender and applicant profile. We can refer you to independent mortgage brokers who specialise in non-resident financing.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are listed as EUR 0 at the time of listing; please confirm the final figure with the agent before exchange, as this may change once the complex is fully operational. Annual IBI (council tax) and basura (waste collection) figures are not yet available for this new build and should be confirmed with the local Orihuela town hall or your legal representative.
Can I view the property remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who cannot travel to the Costa Blanca immediately. We can walk through the show home or equivalent unit and share detailed footage of the communal areas, plot, and surroundings. Contact the OceanHome team to arrange a time that suits you, or book an in-person visit at the development.
Is this area suitable for holiday rental?
Desamparados and the wider Orihuela municipality attract golf tourists year-round, particularly given the 1 km proximity to the adjacent golf course. New-build properties in Alicante province require a valid tourist licence before being let on a short-term basis; the licensing process and local regulations should be verified with your legal adviser before purchase if rental income is a consideration.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which can be obtained in Spain or via a Spanish consulate in your home country. Once you have agreed the purchase, you pay a reservation fee to take the property off the market, then sign a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa) and pay a further deposit, typically 10% of the purchase price. The balance is paid at the notary on the date of completion, when the title deed (escritura) is signed and ownership is formally transferred. We recommend appointing an independent solicitor to act on your behalf throughout.
