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 are the purchase costs 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 — and it is worth checking before you finalise your budget. Additional costs typically include notary fees (EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (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?
Non-resident buyers in Spain can typically borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain range broadly between 3.5% and 4.5%, though the rate offered will depend on your lender and financial profile. We recommend speaking with an independent mortgage broker familiar with Spanish lending before making an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs?
The estimated community fee is €105 per month, covering maintenance of communal areas including the pool and garden. The annual IBI (local property tax) is estimated at €280. Both figures are estimates. You should also budget for utility connection costs, home insurance and any applicable basura (refuse collection) charge, which has not been confirmed for this property.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who are unable to travel to Torrevieja in person. Contact our team to arrange a live video walkthrough at a time that suits you. In-person viewings can be scheduled on weekdays and most weekends with advance notice.
What is the rental potential of this property?
Torrevieja is a popular tourist destination and Centro is one of its most central and accessible districts. Properties here are regularly let on short-term holiday licences throughout the summer season, and some owners achieve year-round occupancy given the town's mild winters and active expat community. We do not quote yield percentages, but our team can provide general market context based on comparable lettings in the area.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need to obtain a Spanish NIE (foreigner identification number), which is required to complete any property purchase in Spain. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation contract is signed and a deposit paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), typically involving a further deposit of around 10% of the agreed price. The sale is then completed before a Spanish notary, who registers the transfer with the land registry. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to act on your behalf throughout.
