About Playa Flamenca Norte, Orihuela Costa
Orihuela Costa is one of the most popular destinations on Spain's Costa Blanca.
What are the estimated purchase costs on top of the EUR 210,000 asking price?
For a resale property in Alicante province, you will pay ITP (transfer tax) at 10% of the declared price, which is EUR 21,000 on this property. Add notary fees of approximately EUR 600-1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400-800, and legal fees of around 1% plus VAT (approximately EUR 2,646 including VAT). Total additional costs are typically 12-13% of the purchase price, so budget around EUR 25,000-27,000 on top of the purchase price.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Yes. Spanish banks generally lend non-residents up to 60-70% of the purchase price or valuation, whichever is lower. On EUR 210,000 you would need a deposit of roughly EUR 63,000-84,000 plus purchase costs. Current variable and fixed rates from Spanish lenders are in the range of 3.5-4.5% annually, depending on your financial profile and the lender.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
The annual IBI (council tax) is EUR 210. Community fees are EUR 85 per month, covering maintenance of the communal pool and gated urbanisation. You should also budget for utility standing charges (electricity, water) and buildings insurance, which typically adds EUR 300-500 per year for an apartment of this size.
How do I arrange a viewing?
Contact OceanHome to book an in-person visit at a time that suits you. If you are not currently in Spain, we can arrange a live video viewing via WhatsApp or Zoom so you can walk through the property remotely before committing to travel.
Is this apartment suitable for holiday letting?
Playa Flamenca Norte sits within Orihuela Costa, which sees strong tourist demand from May through October. The area is licensed for short-term tourist rentals, subject to obtaining a Valencian Community tourist licence. Ground-floor apartments with private gardens in gated urbanisations are popular with families booking summer holidays. Speak to our team for guidance on the licensing process.
What does the purchase process look like in Spain?
First, you will need an NIE (Foreigner Identification Number), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once you agree a price, a reservation fee (typically EUR 3,000-6,000) takes the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), where you pay 10% of the agreed price and both parties are legally committed. The sale is completed before a Spanish notary, at which point the remaining balance is transferred and ownership is registered in your name.
