About Playa del Cura, Torrevieja
Torrevieja is one of the most popular destinations on Spain's Costa Blanca.
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. Notary fees typically run EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees EUR 400–800, and legal fees 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 based on age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — so it is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Spanish lenders typically offer non-residents up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation (whichever is lower), so buyers should expect to have a deposit of 30–40% available, plus funds for purchase costs. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain broadly range from 3.5% to 4.5%, depending on the lender and your financial profile. We can introduce you to independent mortgage brokers with experience in arranging finance for overseas buyers.
What are the ongoing running costs?
The annual IBI (local property tax) is EUR 200. Community fees are EUR 420 per year. These figures cover shared building maintenance and services. Utility contracts (water, electricity) are set up separately and will vary with usage. The property's energy rating is F, which may be reflected in higher electricity consumption compared with more recently insulated buildings.
Can I view this apartment remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings by appointment for buyers who cannot travel to Torrevieja immediately. These are conducted live via video call, allowing you to ask questions and direct the tour in real time. In-person viewings are also available by arrangement. Contact us to book either option.
What is the rental potential in Playa del Cura?
Torrevieja is a designated tourist area and Playa del Cura, given its position close to the beach and town facilities, attracts both short-stay holiday lets and longer-term winter rentals from northern European visitors. A tourist rental licence is required for short-term lets in the Valencian Community; your solicitor can advise on the application process. We do not quote yield percentages as these depend on management costs, occupancy rates, and season, all of which vary.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. 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), at which point typically 10% of the purchase price is paid. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, at which point the balance, taxes, and fees are settled and title transfers to you. The process typically takes 6–10 weeks from reservation to completion.
