Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for 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. 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. On top of ITP, budget for notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land-registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and legal/conveyancing fees at roughly 1% of the purchase price plus VAT. 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 — so it is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage to buy this apartment?
Non-resident buyers in Spain typically need a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price, as Spanish banks generally lend up to 60–70% of the assessed value for non-residents. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though the rate offered will depend on your financial profile and the lender. We can refer you to an independent mortgage broker familiar with Alicante-province purchases.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are zero. The annual IBI (council tax) has not been confirmed for this property; please ask the agent for the current figure. There are no confirmed basura (rubbish collection) charges on file either, so request both figures before exchange. The energy certificate is listed as exempt under current regulations.
Can I view the apartment remotely before visiting in person?
Yes. We offer video viewings by appointment, which allow you to walk through the property live with an agent via video call. You can also request a recorded walkthrough. In-person viewings in Torremendo can typically be arranged at short notice. Contact us to book either option.
Is this apartment suitable as a holiday rental investment?
Torremendo is an inland village rather than a coastal resort, so short-term tourist rental demand is more limited than on the Orihuela Costa. The property may be better suited as a long-term rental or a private residence. If rental use is a priority, speak to the agent about the current lettings market in this specific district, as occupancy and achievable rents vary considerably from the coastal areas nearby.
What are the key steps in the purchase process in Spain?
First, obtain an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is required for any property transaction in Spain. Once you agree a price, a reservation contract and deposit (typically around EUR 3,000–6,000) takes the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), where a further deposit — usually 10% of the agreed price — is paid and both parties are legally bound. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the balance is paid and title transfers to you. The purchase is then registered at the Land Registry. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish-qualified lawyer before signing anything.
