About Acequión, Torrevieja
Torrevieja is one of the most popular destinations on Spain's Costa Blanca.
What are the purchase costs 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. 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) — worth checking before you budget. In addition, allow roughly EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for land registry fees, and around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT for legal representation.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer in Spain?
Non-resident buyers typically need to provide a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price, as Spanish lenders generally finance up to 60–70% for non-residents. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain broadly range from 3.5% to 4.5%, though the rate offered will depend on your financial profile and the lender. A Spanish mortgage broker can help you compare products before you commit.
What are the ongoing running costs for this penthouse?
Community fees are €112 per month, which covers maintenance of the communal pool and garden. Annual IBI (local property tax) is €235. A basura (rubbish collection) charge may apply separately — the exact figure for this property is not confirmed, so ask the agent. Buildings insurance is an additional cost to factor into your budget.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. Our agents can arrange a video viewing at a time that suits you, allowing you to walk through the property live or receive a recorded tour. This is a practical first step if you are based outside Spain. In-person viewings can then be arranged once you have shortlisted your preferred options.
Is this property suitable for rental income?
Torrevieja is a recognised tourist destination with consistent demand for short and medium-term rentals. Properties in Acequion, close to the beaches and town centre amenities, are regularly let to seasonal visitors as well as longer-stay tenants. A tourist rental licence is required in the Valencian Community for short-term holiday lets — your legal adviser can confirm the current requirements and application process.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, you will need an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), the tax identification number required for any property transaction in Spain. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), typically involving payment of around 10% of the agreed price, which commits both parties. The transaction is completed before a Spanish notary, at which point the remaining balance is transferred and ownership passes to you. Independent legal representation throughout this process is strongly advised.
