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 property in the province of Alicante, you will pay ITP (transfer tax) at 10% of the purchase price, which is EUR 20,150 on this property. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (EUR 400–800), and legal fees of around 1% plus VAT (approximately EUR 2,015 plus VAT). In total, budget for roughly 12–13% on top of the purchase price.
Can I get a mortgage on this property as a non-resident?
Yes, Spanish banks do lend to non-residents on properties in this price range. On a purchase of EUR 201,500, non-resident buyers are typically required to put down 30–40%, meaning a deposit of approximately EUR 60,450–80,600. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish lenders are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though terms vary by lender and applicant profile.
What are the ongoing running costs for this bungalow?
The annual IBI (council tax) is EUR 152. There are no community fees for this property. You should also budget for utility standing charges covering water and electricity, plus contents insurance. The basura (rubbish collection) charge has not been confirmed by the vendor and should be verified before completion.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who cannot travel to La Mata immediately. If you would prefer an in-person visit, contact us to arrange a date and we will coordinate access with the vendor.
Is this property suitable for holiday rental?
La Mata is an established tourist area within the Torrevieja municipality, and the local authority does issue tourist rental licences for this district, subject to meeting current requirements. A ground-floor bungalow with a private garden and patio, sold fully furnished, is a practical proposition for the holiday rental market. We recommend engaging a local lawyer to confirm licensing eligibility before purchase.
How does the purchase process work in Spain?
You will first need an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once an offer is agreed, a reservation fee (typically EUR 3,000–6,000) is paid to take the property off the market. A private purchase contract (contrato de arras) follows, at which point 10% of the agreed price is usually deposited. The transaction completes before a Spanish notary, at which point the title transfers and the remaining balance is paid.
