About Centro, Torrevieja
Torrevieja is one of the most popular destinations on Spain's Costa Blanca.
What purchase costs should I budget for beyond 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), which is worth checking before you budget. On top of ITP, allow approximately EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for Land Registry registration, and around 1% plus VAT for a solicitor.
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 with Spanish lenders generally range from 3.5% to 4.5% per annum, though rates vary by lender and applicant profile. You will also need to cover purchase costs from your own funds, as these are not included in standard mortgage offers.
What are the ongoing running costs for this villa?
The annual IBI (council tax) for this property is €430. There are no community fees payable. Utility costs for a villa of this size with central air conditioning and a private pool will vary by usage, but you should budget for electricity, water and pool maintenance separately. Home insurance is recommended and typically costs a few hundred euros per year for a property of this type.
How can I arrange a viewing?
Viewings can be arranged in person or via a live video call if you are not yet in Spain. Contact the OceanHome team to book a convenient time. We can also provide a detailed video walkthrough of the property on request before you commit to travel.
Does this villa have rental potential?
Torrevieja is a recognised short-term tourist rental area, and detached villas with private pools in Los Frutales are in consistent demand from summer visitors. To let legally, you will need to obtain a tourist licence from the Valencian Community authorities before listing the property on any rental platform. We recommend confirming current licensing requirements with a local solicitor, as conditions and availability of new licences can change.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, you will need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which can be obtained at a Spanish consulate or in person in Spain. 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), where usually 10% of the purchase price is exchanged and both parties commit to the transaction. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the balance is paid and title transfers. A local solicitor will carry out due diligence on the title, planning status and any charges on the property before you sign.
