About La Mata, 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. 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 — and are worth checking before you budget. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers in Spain are generally required to provide a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price, as Spanish banks typically lend up to 60–70% of the valuation to non-residents. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%, depending on the lender and your financial profile. We recommend consulting an independent mortgage broker familiar with the Spanish market.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently nil for this property. The annual IBI (council tax) figure has not been confirmed for this listing and should be verified directly with the Torrevieja town hall before exchange. Utility contracts for water and electricity are separate and will depend on personal usage.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. In addition to in-person visits, we offer video viewings for buyers who are unable to travel to La Mata Pueblo. Contact us to arrange a live video tour or to request additional photographs and floor plans.
Is this apartment suitable as a rental investment?
La Mata Pueblo benefits from strong summer tourism demand, with Playa de la Mata attracting visitors throughout the season. A 40m2 one-bedroom apartment at 200 metres from the seafront is a practical short-term rental unit. You will need a Valencian Community tourist licence to let legally on a short-term basis; our team can advise on the application process. We do not quote projected yield figures, as these depend on occupancy rates, management costs, and seasonal pricing.
What does the purchase process look like for overseas buyers?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE (foreigner identification number), which can be obtained via a Spanish consulate or in person in Spain. Once you have agreed a price, 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), where typically 10% of the purchase price is paid. Completion takes place before a notary, where the remaining balance is transferred and the title deed (escritura) is signed. The transaction is then registered with the land registry.
