About Los Dolses, Orihuela Costa
Orihuela Costa is one of the most popular destinations on Spain's Costa Blanca.
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. Tax is assessed 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 this region's conditions — for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — and are worth checking before you finalise your budget. On top of ITP, allow approximately EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for Land Registry fees, and around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT for legal fees.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Spanish banks typically lend up to 60–70% of the purchase price to non-resident buyers, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though individual offers vary by lender and applicant profile. We can connect you with independent mortgage brokers who work with buyers purchasing in the Costa Blanca.
What are the ongoing running costs?
The annual IBI (council tax) is EUR 126. Community fees are EUR 500 per year, which cover maintenance of the communal pools, gardens, and gated access. These figures come from the listing record. Utility bills — electricity, water, and internet — will vary depending on how frequently the property is occupied.
Can I view the property remotely?
Yes. In addition to in-person viewings, we offer video viewings conducted live via WhatsApp or video call, allowing you to walk through the apartment and ask questions in real time. Contact us to arrange either option at a time that suits you.
Is this property suitable as a rental investment?
Los Dolses falls within the Orihuela Costa tourist zone, and ground-floor apartments with private gardens and communal pools attract steady seasonal demand. To let the property as a holiday rental, you will need to register for a tourist licence with the Valencian Community authorities. We recommend confirming the current licensing requirements with your legal representative before purchase. We do not provide yield projections, but a local property manager can give you realistic occupancy and rental rate data for this area.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which your lawyer can obtain on your behalf. Once you have agreed on the price, a reservation deposit is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point typically 10% of the purchase price is paid. The balance is paid at completion before a notary, who oversees the signing of the title deed. The deed is then registered at the Land Registry. The full process from reservation to completion generally takes six to ten weeks.
