About Playa Flamenca, Orihuela Costa
Orihuela Costa is one of the most popular destinations on Spain's Costa Blanca for international property buyers. With over 300 days of sunshine per year, excellent healthcare facilities, and a large expat community, the area offers an outstanding quality of life.
What are the purchase costs on top of the sale 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. Additional costs typically include notary fees (EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (EUR 400–800) and legal fees at around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT. 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 — so it is worth checking before you budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers can typically obtain a Spanish mortgage, though lenders generally require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Interest rates for non-residents currently sit in the range of 3.5–4.5%, depending on the lender and the type of rate (fixed or variable). We can refer you to independent mortgage brokers with experience in cross-border Spanish purchases.
What are the ongoing running costs for this property?
Annual IBI (council tax) is €600. Community fees are €230 per month, covering upkeep of the communal pool, gardens and shared areas within the gated complex. You should also budget for utility bills and buildings insurance, which vary according to usage and provider.
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. If you would prefer an in-person visit, we can arrange accompanied viewings at a time that suits you. Contact the OceanHome team to schedule either option.
Is this property suitable for holiday rental?
Orihuela Costa is a designated tourist area and properties here can generate rental income during the summer season and, increasingly, across the shoulder months. A tourist rental licence (licencia de alquiler turístico) is required in the Valencian Community before the property can be legally advertised on short-let platforms. We recommend confirming licence eligibility with a local solicitor before purchase if rental income forms part of your plan.
What steps are involved in buying this property?
First, you will need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which can be obtained at a Spanish consulate or in person in Spain. Once you have agreed a price, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (contrato de arras), at which point typically 10% of the purchase price is paid. The balance is settled at the notary on completion, when the public deed (escritura) is signed and ownership transfers. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to carry out due diligence throughout the process.
