Frequently Asked Questions
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. On top of ITP, allow for notary fees of approximately EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of approximately EUR 400–800, and legal fees typically 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 based on 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 buyer?
Non-resident buyers can obtain mortgages from Spanish banks, though lenders typically require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Interest rates for non-resident mortgages currently range between approximately 3.5% and 4.5%, depending on the lender and product. Your legal representative can recommend mortgage brokers who specialise in non-resident purchases.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
The annual IBI (council tax) is €150. Community fees are currently €0 per month. There is no basura (rubbish collection) fee on record for this property — confirm the current position with your solicitor. The energy rating is G, so factor in higher utility costs relative to a more efficient property.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. In addition to in-person viewings, we offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who are not currently in Spain. Contact the office to arrange a time that suits you, and we can walk you through every room and the communal areas live.
Is this apartment suitable for holiday rental?
Torrevieja and La Mata fall within a designated tourist zone, and the area attracts consistent demand from summer visitors. The furnished condition and complex amenities — communal pool, gym, and gated parking — make the apartment straightforward to let on a short-term basis. You will need a tourist rental licence from the Valencian Community authority before advertising the property. Speak to a local property manager for realistic occupancy estimates specific to this complex.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need an NIE (foreigner identification number), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once a price is agreed, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point a further deposit — typically 10% of the purchase price — is paid. The balance and all taxes are settled at the notary on the completion date, at which point the title deed (escritura) is signed and keys are handed over. Instructing an independent solicitor before you sign anything is strongly advised.
