Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the EUR 599,000 asking price?
For a resale property in the Province of Alicante, the main taxes and costs are: ITP (transfer tax) at 10% of the purchase price, approximately EUR 59,900; notary fees typically EUR 600–1,200; Land Registry fees typically EUR 400–800; and legal fees around 1% of the purchase price plus 21% VAT, approximately EUR 7,190. Total additional costs are typically 12–13% of the purchase price, so budget around EUR 70,000–78,000 on top of the asking price.
Can I get a mortgage on this property as a non-resident?
Yes. Non-resident buyers can typically obtain a Spanish mortgage, though lenders generally require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. On EUR 599,000 that means a deposit of approximately EUR 180,000–240,000. Current variable and fixed rates from Spanish lenders 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 with experience in this area.
What are the ongoing running costs for this villa?
The annual IBI (local property tax) is EUR 495. There are no community fees for this property. Utility costs will depend on usage, but air conditioning running costs can be significant during summer months. Buildings insurance for a villa of this size typically costs EUR 400–700 per year.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who cannot travel immediately. A member of our team will walk through the property live, answer questions in real time, and follow up with additional photos or footage if needed. In-person viewings can be arranged with advance notice.
Is this villa suitable for holiday letting?
Playa Flamenca is within the Orihuela Costa tourist zone, which sees strong rental demand from spring through to late autumn, with a growing winter market from northern European visitors. A villa with a private pool, south-facing garden, parking, and central location is well placed to attract short-term rentals. You will need a tourist licence from the Generalitat Valenciana to let legally. We recommend speaking to a local letting agent for current occupancy and rate data before making projections.
How does the purchase process work in Spain?
You will first need a Spanish NIE number, obtainable at a Spanish consulate or in Spain. Once a price is agreed, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit of around EUR 3,000–6,000 is paid to take the property off the market. A private purchase contract (arras) follows, at which point typically 10% of the purchase price is paid. The final deed (escritura) is signed before a notary, the balance is transferred, and keys are handed over. We strongly recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to carry out due diligence throughout the process.
