About Playa Flamenca, Orihuela Costa
Orihuela Costa is one of the most popular destinations on Spain's Costa Blanca.
What are the purchase costs on top of the asking 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. 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 this region's conditions — for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — and it is worth checking before you budget. On top of ITP, allow approximately EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for land registry fees, and around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT for legal representation.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
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 broadly range from 3.5% to 4.5% annually, though the exact rate will depend on your financial profile and the lender. We can introduce you to independent mortgage brokers familiar with the Orihuela Costa market.
What are the ongoing running costs for this villa?
The annual IBI (council tax) is €389. There are no community fees for this property, as it is not part of a managed urbanisation. You should also budget for utility connections (electricity, water) and home insurance. The energy certificate is rated E.
Can I view the property remotely before visiting Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings by appointment, either as a live guided call or as a recorded walkthrough sent to you in advance. These cover the interior rooms, the pool terrace, the garden, and the garage area. If you would like to arrange a remote or in-person viewing of this villa in Playa Flamenca, please contact us to confirm availability.
Is this villa suitable as a holiday rental?
Playa Flamenca is within the Orihuela Costa tourist zone, and properties here can generate rental income, particularly during the spring and summer months. To let the property on a short-term basis you will need a tourist licence from the Valencian Community authorities. Demand in this area is steady given proximity to the beaches, Zenia Boulevard, and the Saturday market. We recommend speaking to a local rental management agency for realistic occupancy and income expectations — we do not quote yield percentages as these vary considerably with management approach and seasonal demand.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, you will need an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), the tax identification number required for all property transactions in Spain. Once you have agreed terms, 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 (arras), under which typically 10% of the purchase price is paid; if the buyer withdraws, this sum is forfeited, and if the seller withdraws, they must return double the amount. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, who reads and certifies the deed. The buyer pays the outstanding balance, taxes, and fees on the day of signing. Your solicitor will then handle registration at the Land Registry.
