About La Mata, Torrevieja
Torrevieja is one of the most popular destinations on Spain's Costa Blanca.
What purchase taxes and costs should I budget for?
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 — so it is worth checking before you budget. On top of ITP, allow approximately EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for land registry fees, and around 1% plus VAT for legal representation.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers in Spain typically need a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price, as Spanish banks generally lend up to 60–70% of the valuation figure. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though individual offers depend on your financial profile and the lender. We can refer you to an independent mortgage broker familiar with this area.
What are the ongoing running costs for this property?
The annual IBI (council tax) is €152. Community fees are €0 per month. Utility contracts for water and electricity are separate and will be in the buyer's name from completion. The energy rating is G, which means heating and cooling costs may be higher than a more recently built or insulated property.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who are unable to travel to La Mata in person. A member of our team will walk through the property with you live, or we can arrange a pre-recorded video tour. In-person viewings can be scheduled on weekdays and most weekends with advance notice.
Is this property suitable as a rental investment?
La Mata attracts significant tourist activity during the summer season, and short-term rental demand in the area is well established. A ground-floor bungalow sold fully furnished is a straightforward proposition for seasonal letting. You will need a valid tourist licence from the Valencian Community to let on a short-term basis legally; we can advise on the application process.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which can be obtained through a Spanish consulate abroad or directly in Spain. Once you have agreed a price, a reservation fee takes the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), where typically 10% of the purchase price is paid as a deposit. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, who registers the transfer with the land registry. The full process from reservation to notary usually takes between four and eight weeks.
