Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the sale 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. 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 the region's conditions — for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — and are 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 obtain a mortgage in Spain, though lenders generally require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Interest rates for Spanish mortgages currently range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%, depending on the lender and product. We recommend speaking to an independent mortgage broker familiar with the Spanish market.
What are the ongoing running costs for this bungalow?
Community fees for this property are nil. The annual IBI (local property tax) figure is not currently available and should be confirmed with the local town hall or agent before exchange. Basura (refuse collection) charges are also not currently on file and should be verified separately.
Can I view this property remotely?
Yes. In addition to in-person viewings, we offer video viewings conducted live via WhatsApp or video call, allowing you to tour the property in real time with one of our agents. Contact us to arrange a time that suits you.
Is this bungalow suitable for rental?
La Siesta is an established residential area with consistent demand for both long-term and short-term rentals. Ground-floor bungalows with private outdoor space and parking appeal to a broad range of tenants. For short-term tourist lets, a holiday rental licence from the Valencian Community is required; your legal adviser can confirm the current requirements and process.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, you will need an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), the tax identification number required for all property transactions in Spain. Once you agree a price, a reservation contract and payment secures the property off the market. This is typically followed by a private purchase contract (arras), where a further deposit is paid and both parties commit to the sale. The transaction completes before a notary, at which point the balance is paid and the title deeds are signed over to you. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to represent your interests throughout.
