Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the asking price?
As a resale in the Valencian Community, this purchase carries ITP transfer tax at 9% of the purchase price, rising to 11% on the entire value above €1,000,000. Note that 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. 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 — and it is worth checking these before you budget. Additional costs typically include notary fees (EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (EUR 400–800) and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Spanish lenders generally offer non-residents a loan-to-value of 60–70%, meaning a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price is typically required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though individual offers will depend on your financial profile and chosen lender. We recommend seeking independent mortgage advice before committing.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees for this property are recorded at zero. Annual IBI (council tax) and basura (refuse collection) figures are not currently on file; please ask the agent to obtain these from the vendor before you proceed. Budget for utility connections (water, electricity) as recurring monthly outgoings.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call, allowing you to walk through the property with one of our agents before committing to a trip. In-person viewings in Cabo Roig can be arranged seven days a week with advance notice.
Is this property suitable as a rental investment?
Cabo Roig is an established tourist area with strong demand for short-term lets from late spring through early autumn. A penthouse with a private rooftop solarium tends to command a premium over standard apartments in the same postcode. Any letting activity requires a valid tourist licence from the Valencian Community authorities; we can advise on the application process.
What does the purchase process look like?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which can be obtained at a Spanish consulate or in person in Spain. The usual sequence is: a reservation agreement to take the property off the market, followed by a private purchase contract (arras) with a deposit of around 10%, and finally completion before a notary who registers the transfer. We strongly recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to carry out title searches and review all documentation before you sign anything.
