About Centro, Torrevieja
Torrevieja is one of the most popular destinations on Spain's Costa Blanca.
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. On top of ITP, budget for notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and legal fees of 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 — so it is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident?
Non-resident buyers can typically access Spanish mortgages, though lenders generally require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Variable and fixed rates currently sit in the region of 3.5–4.5%, though this varies by lender and applicant profile. We recommend speaking to an independent mortgage broker who specialises in Spanish property before making an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently nil. The annual IBI (council tax) figure is not available for this listing and should be confirmed with the agent prior to exchange. Utility costs will vary depending on usage and the period of occupation.
How do I arrange a viewing?
Contact our team to book an in-person visit at a time that suits you. If you are based outside Spain or prefer a remote introduction, we can arrange a live video viewing so you can see the property and ask questions before travelling.
Is this studio suitable for holiday rental?
Playa de los Locos is a popular summer destination and properties in this area see strong short-term rental demand from June to September. A tourist rental licence (licencia de arrendamiento turístico) is required in the Valencian Community before a property can be legally let on a short-term basis. The agent can advise on the application process and local letting management options.
What does the purchase process look like?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which can be obtained in Spain or through a Spanish consulate in your country. Once an offer is agreed, a reservation deposit is typically paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), where a larger deposit — usually around 10% — is exchanged, with both parties committing to the sale. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the balance is paid and ownership transfers. Having a qualified Spanish solicitor act on your behalf throughout is strongly recommended.
