About La Siesta, 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 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. 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. 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.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers can typically access mortgages covering 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Current variable and fixed rates in Spain generally range from 3.5% to 4.5%, though terms vary by lender and your financial profile. We recommend speaking with a Spanish mortgage broker before making an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs for this property?
There are no community fees for this property. Annual IBI (council tax) and basura (refuse collection) figures are not currently available; please ask the agent to confirm these before exchange. The property carries an energy rating of G.
Can I arrange a viewing, and is a remote viewing possible?
Yes. In-person viewings can be arranged through the OceanHome team. If you are not currently in Spain, we can also organise a live video viewing so you can see the property in real time before making the trip.
What is the rental potential of this property?
La Siesta and the wider Torrevieja area attract consistent demand from seasonal visitors and longer-term tenants due to the coastal location and established expatriate community. This bungalow's low running costs, with no community fees, improve the net rental return. We do not quote yield percentages, but we can introduce you to local letting agents who can provide realistic rental estimates based on current market data.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once you agree a price, a reservation fee 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. The balance is settled at the notary, where the title deed (escritura) is signed and ownership is formally transferred. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor before the process begins.
