About Centro, Torrevieja
Torrevieja is one of the most popular destinations on Spain's Costa Blanca.
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 (typically 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?
Non-resident buyers can generally access Spanish mortgages, though lenders typically require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Interest rates for non-resident mortgages currently range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%, depending on the lender and product type. We can refer you to independent mortgage brokers with experience in the Valencian Community market.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
The annual IBI (local property tax) is EUR 417 and monthly community fees are EUR 309, which cover maintenance of the communal gardens, pool, lift, and 24-hour security service. Utility costs (electricity, water) will vary according to usage. The property has an energy rating of F, so energy bills may be higher than for a more efficient property.
Can I view this apartment remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings by appointment, allowing you to walk through the property live with one of our agents via video call. This is a practical first step if you are planning a visit to Torrevieja and want to shortlist properties in advance. Contact us to arrange a time that suits you.
Is this apartment suitable as a rental investment?
Los Frutales and the wider Torrevieja area attract both short-term holiday renters and longer-term tenants throughout the year, given the town's coastal location and transport links. The apartment is sold fully furnished, which reduces the setup time before letting. A tourist rental licence would be required for short-term holiday lets in the Valencian Community; we recommend taking legal advice on the current licensing requirements before committing to a rental strategy. We do not quote yield figures, as these depend on occupancy, management costs, and seasonality.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which can be obtained at a Spanish consulate in your home country or at a local police station in Spain. Once you agree a price, a reservation contract is typically signed and a holding deposit paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (contrato de arras), where a further deposit — usually 10% of the purchase price — is exchanged. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, who registers the transaction. We strongly recommend appointing an independent Spanish-qualified solicitor to act on your behalf throughout.
