About La Mata, Torrevieja
Torrevieja is one of the most popular destinations on Spain's Costa Blanca.
What purchase taxes and costs should I budget for?
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) — worth checking before you budget. On top of ITP, allow approximately €600–1,200 for notary fees, €400–800 for land registry registration, and around 1% plus VAT for legal representation.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers in Spain typically need a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price, as Spanish lenders generally finance up to 60–70% of the valuation for non-residents. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates range broadly between 3.5% and 4.5% annually, though individual offers vary by lender and applicant profile. It is worth consulting a Spanish mortgage broker before making an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs?
The annual IBI (local property tax) for this apartment is €197. Community fees are €348 per year, covering shared building maintenance and the communal lift. Utilities — electricity, water, and internet — are billed directly to the occupier and will vary with usage. The property has an energy rating of G, so electricity costs may be higher than a more efficient building.
Can I view the property remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who are not currently in Spain. Our agents can conduct a live video walkthrough at a time that suits you, covering all rooms, the enclosed terrace, and the building's communal areas. Contact us to schedule either a remote or in-person visit.
What is the rental potential in La Mata Pueblo?
La Mata Pueblo is a popular summer destination on the Costa Blanca, and short-term holiday lets are in demand from June to September. The proximity to the salt lake, the beach, and the village's restaurants makes the area attractive to seasonal visitors. You would need to register for a tourist licence with the Valencian Community authority before letting the property short-term. We can connect you with a local property manager who can advise on realistic occupancy levels and typical weekly rates for comparable apartments in the area.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, you will need an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), the tax identification number required for all property transactions in Spain — this can be obtained in person at a Spanish consulate or in Spain itself. Once you agree on a price, a reservation fee is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (contrato de arras), where typically 10% of the purchase price is deposited. The balance is paid at the notary on the day of completion, when the title deed (escritura) is signed and the keys are handed over. Your solicitor will then register the deed with the land registry.
