About La Mata, Torrevieja
La Mata occupies the quieter northern end of Torrevieja and retains a distinctly traditional Spanish character that sets it apart from the more tourist-oriented areas further south. The neighbourhood is anchored by Playa de La Mata, a long stretch of golden sand backed by dunes and the protected La Mata natural park. The town centre offers a charming mix of local shops, weekly markets, tapas bars, and restaurants, giving residents an authentic Costa Blanca lifestyle with the convenience of Torrevieja's larger amenities just minutes away.
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. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and legal fees of 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 age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — worth checking before you budget.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Spanish lenders typically offer non-residents up to 60–70% loan-to-value on a property like this, meaning a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price is generally required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain sit broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though individual offers vary by lender and applicant profile. We can refer you to an independent mortgage broker with experience in non-resident applications.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Annual IBI (local property tax) is estimated at EUR 320. Community fees are estimated at EUR 105 per month, which typically cover maintenance of communal areas and gardens. These figures are estimates — confirm final amounts with the administrator before exchange. Basura (refuse collection) charges are not yet confirmed for this listing; ask the agent for the latest figure.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. In addition to in-person visits, we offer video viewings by appointment so you can tour the property live via video call with one of our agents on site. Contact us to book either option at a time that suits you.
Is this property suitable for holiday rental?
La Mata Pueblo is within the tourist zone of Torrevieja municipality, and the area has an active short-term rental market, particularly during the summer months. Properties with sea views, a solarium and south-facing orientation tend to attract consistent summer demand. You would need to obtain a tourist licence from the Generalitat Valenciana before advertising the property for short-term rental. We recommend speaking to a local property manager to understand current occupancy patterns in La Mata Pueblo before making any rental income projections.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE (foreigner identification number), which can be obtained at a Spanish consulate or in person at a local police station. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation agreement and deposit are typically signed to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point a further deposit — usually 10% of the purchase price — is paid. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, who registers the transfer with the land registry. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to carry out due diligence and guide you through each stage.
