About Centro, Torrevieja
Torrevieja is one of the most popular destinations on Spain's Costa Blanca.
What are the estimated purchase costs on top of the EUR 228,000 asking price?
As a resale property in Alicante province, you will pay ITP (Impuesto de Transmisiones Patrimoniales) at 10% of the purchase price, which amounts to EUR 22,800. Add notary fees of approximately EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400–800, and legal/solicitor fees of around 1% plus VAT (approximately EUR 2,280 plus VAT). Total additional costs are typically 12–13% of the purchase price, so budget around EUR 27,000–30,000 on top of the sale price.
Can I get a mortgage on this property as a non-resident?
Non-resident buyers can typically borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is required. On EUR 228,000 that equates to a deposit of roughly EUR 68,400–91,200. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish lenders range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%. We can refer you to independent mortgage brokers experienced with international buyers.
What are the ongoing running costs for this villa?
Community fees are EUR 0 per month. The annual IBI (local property tax) figure is not currently available and should be confirmed directly with the agent or the Torrevieja town hall. There may also be a basura (refuse collection) charge; this figure is likewise to be confirmed. These costs are in addition to utilities such as electricity, water and internet.
Can I arrange a viewing, and is a video viewing possible?
Yes. You can book an in-person viewing through OceanHome at a time that suits you. If you are based outside Spain or prefer to see the property remotely before travelling, we can arrange a live video viewing via WhatsApp or video call. Contact us to confirm availability and schedule a time.
What is the rental potential for this villa in Torrevieja?
Torrevieja is a designated tourist area and properties here can be let on short-term holiday contracts during the summer season, as well as on longer winter lets popular with seasonal residents. A tourist rental licence (licencia de alquiler turístico) from the Valencian Community is required for short-term lets. We recommend speaking with a local lettings agent for realistic income projections based on current demand in the Centro area.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, you will need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once you agree a price, a reservation contract is signed and a small deposit (typically EUR 3,000–6,000) is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (contrato de arras), where usually 10% of the purchase price is paid. The remaining balance is settled at the notary, where the title deeds (escritura) are signed and ownership is formally transferred. The process from reservation to completion typically takes 4–8 weeks.
