Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs should I budget for?
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. Additional costs include notary fees (approximately EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (approximately 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 — and are worth checking before you budget.
Can I get a mortgage on this property as a non-resident?
Non-resident buyers in Spain can typically borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is generally required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish lenders are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though the rate offered will depend on your personal financial profile and the lender. We recommend obtaining a mortgage agreement in principle before making an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs?
This property carries no community fees, and access to the urbanisation's communal pool is included. Annual IBI (council tax) and basura (refuse collection) charges are not confirmed for this listing and should be verified with the agent or the Rojales town hall before exchange. Budget for utility connections (electricity, water) as the property is currently unfurnished.
Can I view the property remotely?
Yes. In addition to in-person viewings, we offer video viewings for buyers who are unable to travel to Lo Marabú at this stage. Contact us to arrange a live video walkthrough at a time that suits you, or to request additional photos or footage of specific areas of the property.
Is this property suitable as a rental investment?
The Rojales and Ciudad Quesada area has an established market of long-term expatriate and Spanish residents. A tourist rental licence would be required for short-term holiday letting and must be obtained from the Valencian Community authorities before advertising the property. We recommend speaking with a local property lawyer about licence eligibility and requirements for this urbanisation before purchasing with a rental strategy in mind.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which can be obtained through a Spanish consulate or in person at a provincial police station in Spain. Once a price is agreed, a reservation contract is typically signed and a holding deposit paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), usually with 10% of the purchase price paid at that stage. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, at which point the balance is paid and keys are handed over. Using an independent Spanish property solicitor throughout the process is strongly recommended.
