About La Mata, Torrevieja
Torrevieja is one of the most popular destinations on Spain's Costa Blanca for international property buyers. With over 300 days of sunshine per year, excellent healthcare facilities, and a large expat community, the area offers an outstanding quality of life.
What purchase costs should I budget for beyond 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 EUR 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. Notary fees typically run EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees EUR 400–800, and legal fees around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT. Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet the region's conditions — for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — so it is worth checking before you budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers in Spain can generally borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is typically required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish lenders range broadly between 3.5% and 4.5%, though your personal rate will depend on the lender, your financial profile and the loan term. We recommend obtaining an agreement in principle before making an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs for this villa?
The annual IBI (council tax) is EUR 753. Community fees are EUR 300 per quarter. Additional costs to factor in include home insurance, utility bills for a property of this size, and routine pool and garden maintenance. The property carries an energy rating of G, which is common for older villas of this era, and upgrading insulation or the heating system could reduce energy bills over time.
Can I view the property remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings by appointment, which allow you to take a guided tour of all rooms and outdoor areas via a live video call. This is a practical first step if you are based outside Spain. Once you decide to proceed, an in-person visit is strongly recommended before exchanging contracts.
Is this property suitable for holiday rental?
La Mata has an active short-term rental market, particularly in summer, given its position between Playa de La Mata and the natural park of La Mata lagoon. To let the property legally you will need a tourist rental licence from the Valencian Community authorities. Your legal adviser can confirm current licensing requirements and any restrictions that apply to properties within a gated community. We do not quote rental yield estimates, as these depend on occupancy rates, management costs and seasonal demand.
What are the main steps in the purchase process?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (foreigner identification number), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once you agree a price, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), under which typically 10% of the price is paid; if the seller withdraws at this stage, they must return double the deposit. Completion takes place before a notary, who registers the title deed with the Land Registry. The full process from reservation to completion generally takes six to twelve weeks for a resale purchase.
