About Playa Flamenca, Orihuela Costa
Orihuela Costa is one of the most popular destinations on Spain's Costa Blanca.
Frequently Asked Questions
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. Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet the region's conditions — for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — and it is worth checking before you finalise your 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 typically offer non-residents a loan-to-value ratio of 60–70%, meaning a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price is usually required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain generally range from around 3.5% to 4.5%, depending on the lender and your financial profile. An independent mortgage broker with experience in cross-border lending can help compare products.
What are the ongoing running costs?
The listing data shows community fees recorded as zero; however, the property description references an annual condominium fee of approximately €550 covering the gardener, pool, parking, and lighting maintenance. Buyers should confirm the current figure directly with the agent or the community administrator before exchange. The annual IBI (council tax) figure is not available in the listing data — ask the agent for the most recent IBI receipt. An energy rating of E applies.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. OceanHome offers video viewings for buyers who are unable to travel to the Costa Blanca immediately. A member of the team will walk through the property on a live video call so you can ask questions in real time. In-person viewings can be arranged seven days a week by appointment.
Is this property suitable as a rental investment?
PAU 8 and the wider VillaMartin area attract a steady flow of golf tourists and short-break visitors throughout the year, given its proximity to four golf courses and the coast. Short-term holiday rental licences in the Valencian Community are granted at regional and municipal level, and availability is not guaranteed — confirm the current position for this specific property with a local lawyer before purchase. The rooftop solarium, communal pool, and two parking spaces are practical features for a rental property.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will need a Spanish NIE (foreigner identification number) before completion — this can be obtained in Spain or through a Spanish consulate in your home country. The process typically begins with a reservation agreement and a holding deposit to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point a further deposit, usually around 10% of the purchase price, is paid. The balance is settled at the notary on the completion date, when ownership is formally transferred and registered at the land registry. Using an independent solicitor throughout is strongly recommended.
