Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the asking price?
As a resale property in Alicante province, you will pay ITP (transfer tax) at 10% of the purchase price, which is EUR 18,000 on this property. Additional costs include notary fees (approximately EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (approximately EUR 400–800) and legal fees of around 1% plus VAT (approximately EUR 2,178 including VAT). Budget for total purchase costs of roughly EUR 21,000–22,000 on top of the EUR 180,000 asking price.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish banks typically lend non-residents up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation, so you would need a deposit of around 30–40%. On EUR 180,000 that means having approximately EUR 54,000–72,000 available. Current mortgage rates in Spain are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though terms vary by lender and applicant profile.
What are the ongoing running costs for this bungalow?
Annual IBI (council tax) is approximately EUR 150 and community fees are EUR 360 per year, equivalent to EUR 30 per month. Utility costs for a 55m2 property are typically modest. Please ask your legal representative to verify the IBI figure directly with the town hall prior to completion.
Can I view this property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. OceanHome can arrange a live video viewing via WhatsApp or video call at a time that suits you. This allows you to tour the property and ask questions in real time before committing to travel. In-person viewings can be booked with advance notice.
Is this bungalow suitable as a rental investment?
Torrevieja is an established tourist destination and properties close to the beach and local amenities typically attract both short-term holiday lets and longer residential tenancies. To operate a holiday rental legally in the Valencia region you will need a tourist licence; your solicitor can advise on the application process.
What does the buying process involve?
You will first need an NIE (foreign identification number), which your Spanish solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once a price is agreed, a reservation deposit of typically EUR 3,000–6,000 takes the property off the market. A private purchase contract (arras) follows, at which point around 10% of the price is paid. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, where the title deed is signed and the remaining balance transferred. The full process usually takes between 4 and 8 weeks.
