About La Mata, Torrevieja
Torrevieja is one of the most popular destinations on Spain's Costa Blanca.
What purchase taxes and fees apply to this apartment?
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 — and are worth checking before you budget. Notary fees typically run EUR 600–1,200; land registry fees EUR 400–800; and legal fees are usually around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Spanish banks typically lend non-resident buyers up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation (whichever is lower), meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain broadly range from 3.5% to 4.5%, though the rate offered will depend on your financial profile and the lender. We can refer you to independent mortgage brokers with experience in non-resident applications.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are recorded as nil for this property. The annual IBI (council tax) figure is not currently held on the listing — the agent can obtain this from the local authority before you make an offer. Utility costs for a property of this size will vary with usage. The energy certificate is rated E.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings by appointment for buyers who cannot travel immediately. A member of our team walks through the property on a live video call so you can ask questions in real time. In-person viewings in La Mata Pueblo can usually be arranged with a few days' notice.
What is the rental potential for this apartment?
La Mata Pueblo is a recognised tourist area on the southern Costa Blanca and attracts consistent holiday rental demand from spring through early autumn. An 8th-floor apartment with sea views in this location is likely to appeal to short-term visitors. To let the property as a holiday rental you will need a tourist licence from the Valencian Community; the agent can advise on the application process. We do not quote yield percentages as these depend on occupancy rates, management costs, and seasonal pricing that vary year to year.
What steps are involved in buying this apartment?
First, obtain a Spanish NIE (foreigner identification number), which is required for all property transactions. Once you have agreed a price, a reservation contract is signed and a small holding deposit is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point typically 10% of the purchase price is paid. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, who registers the deed with the Land Registry. The full process from reservation to completion usually takes four to eight weeks for a resale purchase.
