Frequently Asked Questions

What are the purchase costs for this villa?
As a resale property in Alicante province, the buyer pays Impuesto de Transmisiones Patrimoniales (ITP) at 10% of the purchase price, which is EUR 27,500 on EUR 275,000. Additional costs include notary fees of approximately EUR 600 to 1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400 to 800, and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (approximately EUR 3,025 including VAT at 21%). Total acquisition costs typically run to 12 to 13% above the agreed price.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage to buy this property?
Yes. Spanish banks generally lend up to 60 to 70% of the purchase price to non-residents, meaning a deposit of 30 to 40% is required. On a price of EUR 275,000, that represents EUR 82,500 to EUR 110,000. Current variable and fixed rates from Spanish lenders are broadly in the range of 3.5 to 4.5%, though individual terms depend on your financial profile and the lender.
What are the ongoing running costs?
The annual IBI (council tax) is EUR 261. Community fees are EUR 150 per month, covering maintenance of the communal areas and the two communal pools within the urbanisation. Utility costs for electricity and water will vary with usage. There is no basura (rubbish collection) fee listed in the available data, so we recommend confirming this with the agent.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who cannot travel immediately. If you would prefer an in-person visit, we can arrange access at a time that suits you. The property is located approximately 35 minutes from Alicante-Elche Airport, making it straightforward to visit on a short trip.
Is this property suitable as a rental investment?
Lo Marabu and the wider Ciudad Quesada area attract both long-term residents and holiday visitors on the Costa Blanca South. The private pool, renovated condition, and proximity to Alicante-Elche Airport make this villa a practical choice for the holiday rental market, subject to obtaining the relevant tourist licence from the Valencian Community authorities. We do not quote yield figures, but we can put you in touch with local rental management companies for realistic income estimates.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which can be obtained at a Spanish consulate in your home country or in person at a Spanish police station. Once you have agreed a price, a reservation contract and deposit (typically EUR 3,000 to 6,000) takes the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras) where usually 10% of the price is paid. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the remaining balance is transferred and the title deed (escritura) is signed. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor throughout the process.
