About Centro, Torrevieja
Torrevieja is one of the most popular destinations on Spain's Costa Blanca.
What are the estimated purchase costs on top of the EUR 116,000 asking price?
As a resale property in Alicante province, you pay ITP (transfer tax) at 10%, which is EUR 11,600. Additional costs include notary fees (approximately EUR 600–1,200), Land Registry fees (approximately EUR 400–800), and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (roughly EUR 1,160 plus VAT). In total, budget for approximately 12–13% on top of the purchase price, or around EUR 14,000–15,000.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Spanish banks typically lend non-residents up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation, whichever is lower. On EUR 116,000, you would need a deposit of at least EUR 34,800–46,400. Current variable and fixed rates for non-residents range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5% annually, though your individual rate will depend on the lender and your financial profile.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are EUR 0 per month. IBI (council tax) and basura (refuse collection) figures are not available at the time of listing and should be requested from the vendor or confirmed via the local catastro office before completion.
Can I view this apartment remotely?
Yes. OceanHome can arrange a live video viewing via WhatsApp or video call if you are unable to travel to Torrevieja. In-person viewings can also be scheduled with advance notice. Contact us to confirm availability.
Is this apartment suitable as a rental investment?
Centro, Torrevieja is an active area for both short-term tourist rentals and longer-term residential lettings. A tourist rental licence would be required for short-term lets in the Valencia Community. The compact size and two parking spaces may suit a longer-term tenant profile. Speak to the agent for current rental market data in this specific area.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which can be obtained in Spain or via a Spanish consulate in your home country. Once you agree a price, a reservation deposit (typically EUR 3,000–6,000) takes the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), where a further deposit of around 10% is paid. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the remaining balance and all purchase taxes are settled.
