About Centro, Torrevieja
Torrevieja is one of the most popular destinations on Spain's Costa Blanca for international property buyers. With over 300 days of sunshine per year, excellent healthcare facilities, and a large expat community, the area offers an outstanding quality of life.
What purchase costs should I budget for beyond 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. 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. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (EUR 400–800), and legal fees at 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 — worth checking before you budget.
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, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates for non-residents generally range from 3.5% to 4.5% APR, though this varies by lender and personal circumstances. We recommend obtaining a mortgage agreement in principle before making an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
The annual IBI (council tax) is EUR 230. Community fees are currently nil, which is worth confirming with the administrator before exchange. Utility costs for water and electricity will depend on usage. The energy rating is G, so factor in air conditioning and heating running costs accordingly.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. In addition to in-person viewings, we offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call, so you can see the property in real time from wherever you are. Contact the OceanHome team to schedule either option at a time that suits you.
Is there rental potential in this location?
Centro is a well-established tourist district in Torrevieja, with strong demand for short-term holiday lets and longer seasonal rentals. The proximity to the town centre amenities and beaches makes the area attractive to renters throughout much of the year. You will need a tourist licence to operate short-term holiday lets legally in the Valencian Community; your solicitor can advise on the application process.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, obtain an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), the tax identification number required for any property purchase in Spain. Once you agree a price, a reservation contract is signed and a deposit paid to take the property off the market. This is typically followed by a private purchase contract (arras), where a further deposit — usually 10% of the purchase price — is exchanged, with penalties applying if either party withdraws. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, at which point the balance is paid and title transfers to you. We recommend appointing an independent solicitor before the process begins.
