About Desamparados, Orihuela
Orihuela is one of the most popular destinations on Spain's Costa Blanca.
What purchase taxes and fees apply to this bungalow?
This is a resale property in the Valencian Community. It carries ITP transfer tax at 9% of the purchase price, rising to 11% on the entire value above EUR 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. On top of ITP, budget for notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and legal/conveyancing costs 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 — and these are worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Spanish banks typically lend non-residents up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation (whichever is lower), meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain generally range from around 3.5% to 4.5%, though the rate offered will depend on your financial profile and the lender. We can refer you to an independent mortgage broker familiar with non-resident applications.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Annual IBI (council tax) is EUR 320. Community fees for the gated complex are EUR 850 per year, covering maintenance of communal gardens, the pool, and shared areas. The energy rating is G, so utility bills — particularly for heating and cooling — are likely to be higher than for a better-rated property. Basura (refuse collection) charges are not confirmed for this listing and should be verified with the agent.
Can I view this bungalow remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who cannot travel to Spain immediately. We can walk through the property in real time and answer questions on the spot. In-person viewings can be arranged on weekdays and most weekends with reasonable notice.
Is this property suitable as a rental investment?
The Desamparados-Hurchillo-Torremendo area attracts both long-term residents and golf-related visitors. Long-term letting is generally straightforward and does not require a tourist licence. Short-term holiday letting in the Valencian Community requires a regional tourist licence and compliance with local regulations. We recommend speaking to a local letting agent about realistic occupancy and yield figures before making any investment decision.
What are the main steps to buying this property?
First, obtain a Spanish NIE (foreigner identification number), which is required for any property purchase. Once your offer is accepted, a reservation fee is typically paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), under which a further deposit — usually 10% of the agreed price — is paid, and both parties commit to the transaction. The sale is completed before a Spanish notary, who verifies the title and registers the transfer. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to carry out due diligence and guide you through each stage.
