About La Mata, 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. 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), so it is worth checking before you budget. On top of ITP, allow for notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and legal fees (usually around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT).
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Spanish lenders typically offer non-residents up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation, whichever is lower, so you would generally need a deposit of 30–40%. Current variable and fixed rates for non-residents run broadly between 3.5% and 4.5%, though your personal circumstances and the lender will determine the exact terms. We can connect you with an independent mortgage broker who specialises in Spanish property finance.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Annual IBI (council tax) is EUR 73. Community fees are EUR 87 per month, covering shared building maintenance and the two lifts. There is no basura (waste collection) charge on record for this property at present. The energy rating is G, so air conditioning and heating bills may be higher than for a newer or better-insulated property.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings by appointment, either live via video call or as a recorded walkthrough sent in advance. If you would like to visit in person, the apartment is available to view by arrangement with 24 hours' notice. Please contact the office to confirm a time.
Is this apartment suitable for tourist rental?
La Mata falls within a designated tourist area of the Valencian Community. The apartment is already furnished and is move-in ready, which reduces the lead time before a first rental. Proximity to La Mata beach and the existing facilities in the neighbourhood support demand from short-stay visitors. You would need to obtain a tourist rental licence from the Valencian regional authority before advertising the property on rental platforms. We recommend taking advice from a local lawyer on current licensing conditions before purchase.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which your lawyer can apply for on your behalf. The process typically begins with a reservation agreement and a holding deposit to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point a further deposit, commonly 10% of the agreed price, is paid. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the balance is transferred and the title deed (escritura) is signed. The transaction is then registered at the land registry. From reservation to completion typically takes four to eight weeks for a resale.
