Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for beyond the asking price?
As a resale property in the Valencian Community, this purchase carries ITP (Impuesto de Transmisiones Patrimoniales) 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. On top of ITP, allow for 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. 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 as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers can obtain a Spanish mortgage, though lenders typically require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Interest rates currently sit in the range of 3.5–4.5% depending on the lender and product. We recommend consulting an independent mortgage broker familiar with Spanish lending before you make an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees for this property are currently nil. Annual IBI (council tax) and refuse collection figures are not available in the listing record and should be confirmed directly with the agent or the local town hall before exchange. These costs vary and are set independently of the asking price.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling?
Yes. We offer video viewings by appointment, allowing you to tour the property via a live video call. This is available alongside in-person viewings. Contact us to arrange a time that suits you.
Is this property suitable for holiday letting?
El Chaparral is located within the municipality of Torrevieja, which is a popular destination for short-term holiday lets. Demand is present from both summer visitors and off-season travellers due to the mild climate and proximity to the coast and natural park. You will need to obtain a tourist rental licence from the Valencian Community authorities before letting the property commercially. We do not quote yield percentages, as returns depend on occupancy, management costs, and market conditions.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is a tax identification number required for property ownership. Once you agree on terms, a reservation fee is typically paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (contrato de arras), where a deposit — commonly 10% of the purchase price — is paid and a completion date agreed. On the agreed date, both parties sign the public deed (escritura) before a notary, at which point the balance is paid and the keys are handed over. The deed is then registered at the land registry.
