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 on top of 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. 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. In addition, allow for notary fees of approximately EUR 600–1,200, registry fees of approximately EUR 400–800, and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT.
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 approximately 3.5% to 4.5% annually, though individual offers vary by lender and applicant profile. We can introduce you to independent mortgage brokers who specialise in Spanish property finance.
What are the ongoing running costs?
The annual IBI (council tax) is EUR 126. Community fees are EUR 232 per month, covering maintenance of the communal pool, gardens, and gated complex. There is no basura (refuse collection) figure confirmed for this listing; the agent can provide clarification. The property carries an energy rating of G.
Can I view the property remotely?
Yes. In addition to in-person viewings, we offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who are not yet in Spain. Contact us to arrange a time that suits you, and we will walk you through the property and the complex in real time.
Is this property suitable for holiday rental?
Torrevieja falls within a tourist licence zone, which means owners can apply to the Valencian Community authorities for a tourist rental licence (Vivienda de Uso Turístico). Demand for short-term lets in the area is consistent given its coastal location. We recommend speaking with a local property manager about realistic seasonal occupancy before committing to a rental strategy.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, you will need an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), the tax identification number required for all Spanish property transactions. Once you agree a price, a reservation fee is typically paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), under which a further deposit, commonly 10% of the purchase price, is paid. The transaction is then completed before a notary, at which point the balance is transferred and keys are handed over. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to carry out due diligence throughout the process.
