About Acequión, Torrevieja
Acequion is a beachfront district in the northern part of Torrevieja's town centre, taking its name from the long sandy beach it borders, Playa del Acequion. The area is primarily residential and attracts a mix of permanent residents and summer visitors. Paseo Vista Alegre runs along the seafront, connecting Acequion to the town's port and central shopping streets within walking distance. Property types in this district range from older low-rise blocks to more recent apartment buildings, most within a short walk of the beach. The Mercado Municipal and main retail streets are under 10 minutes on foot, and Alicante-Elche Airport is approximately 35 kilometres away.
What are the total purchase costs on top of the EUR 320,000 asking price?
As a resale property in Alicante Province, you pay Transfer Tax (ITP) at 10%, which is EUR 32,000 on this price. Add notary fees of approximately EUR 600 to EUR 1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400 to EUR 800, and solicitor fees of around 1% plus VAT (approximately EUR 3,200 plus VAT). Total purchase costs are typically 12 to 13% above the purchase price, so budget around EUR 358,000 to EUR 362,000 in total.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish banks typically lend non-residents up to 60 to 70% of the purchase price or valuation, whichever is lower, meaning a deposit of 30 to 40% is required. On EUR 320,000, that means a minimum deposit of approximately EUR 96,000 to EUR 128,000, excluding purchase costs. Variable and fixed rates currently range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5% depending on the lender and your financial profile.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Estimated community fees are EUR 90 per month (EUR 1,080 per year) and estimated annual IBI (council tax) is EUR 480. These figures are estimated and may vary. You should also allow for buildings insurance, utilities, and any applicable rubbish collection charge, which would be confirmed by the local council.
Can I view the property remotely before visiting in person?
Yes. OceanHome offers video viewings for buyers who are unable to travel to Torrevieja immediately. Contact us to arrange a live video walkthrough of the apartment at a time that suits you. In-person viewings can be booked once you are ready to visit Acequion.
Is this apartment suitable as a holiday rental investment?
Acequion's beachfront position generates strong demand from visitors between April and October, and the property also attracts off-season enquiries given Torrevieja's mild winters. To rent short-term legally in the Valencian Community you must obtain a tourist rental licence (VT number) from the Generalitat Valenciana. We recommend speaking to a local solicitor about current licensing requirements before purchase.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once your offer is accepted, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit (typically EUR 3,000 to EUR 6,000) is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), where usually 10% of the price is paid and both parties are contractually bound. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, at which point the remaining balance and all taxes and fees are settled and the title deed (escritura) is signed.
