About Punta Prima, 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 purchase costs should I budget for beyond the asking price?
As a resale property 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. In addition, budget for 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, age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — so it is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage on this property as a non-resident?
Non-resident buyers in Spain can typically access mortgage finance, though lenders generally require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Interest rates for non-resident mortgages currently range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%, depending on the lender and the loan term. We recommend obtaining a mortgage agreement in principle before making an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs for this villa?
The estimated annual IBI (council tax) is 760 EUR, and estimated community fees are 45 EUR per month. Both figures are estimates. Utility costs will vary with usage. The property's energy rating of G means it is worth factoring in the potential cost of energy efficiency improvements when planning your annual budget.
Can I view this property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who are unable to travel to Punta Prima immediately. Our agents can conduct a live walkthrough of the villa via video call, covering all rooms, the outdoor areas and the parking spaces. Contact us to arrange a convenient time.
What is the rental potential in Punta Prima?
Punta Prima is an active tourist area on the Orihuela Costa, with demand for short-term holiday lets throughout the summer season and extending into spring and autumn. A 3-bedroom villa with private parking, a BBQ area and air conditioning is well suited to the family holiday market. You will need a valid tourist licence from the Valencian Community to let the property on a short-term basis; our agents can advise on the application process.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once your offer is accepted, you typically pay a reservation fee to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point a deposit — usually 10% of the agreed price — is paid. The balance is settled at the notary on completion, when ownership is formally transferred and registered. We recommend instructing an independent Spanish solicitor before signing any documents.
