About Playa Flamenca, Orihuela Costa
Orihuela Costa is one of the most popular destinations on Spain's Costa Blanca.
What purchase taxes and costs apply to this villa?
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 include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and legal fees of 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 based on age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — and it is worth checking these before you finalise your budget.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Spanish lenders generally offer non-residents mortgages covering up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is typically required. Current variable and fixed rates for non-resident mortgages sit broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though individual offers vary by lender and applicant profile. An independent mortgage broker familiar with the Spanish market can help compare options.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are €0 per month. The annual IBI (council tax) figure has not been confirmed for this listing and should be requested from the agent before exchange. Utility costs for a 128 m² villa in the Orihuela Costa area typically include water, electricity, and refuse collection charges payable to the local municipality.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. OceanHome can arrange a live video viewing via WhatsApp or video call at a time that suits you. This allows you to walk through the property in real time with an agent before committing to a trip. In-person viewings are also available by appointment.
What is the rental potential of this villa?
Orihuela Costa is a designated tourist area with a well-established short-term rental market. Three-bedroom detached villas with a solarium and private parking in Los Almendros-La Florida attract both summer holiday lettings and longer winter lets from northern European visitors. A local property management company can advise on realistic occupancy levels and licensing requirements under Valencian Community regulations.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which can be obtained through a Spanish consulate or in person in Spain. Once you agree terms, a reservation fee 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 and both parties are contractually committed. The sale completes before a notary, at which point the balance is transferred and the title deed (escritura) is signed. Your solicitor will then register the deed at the land registry.
