Frequently Asked Questions
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. 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. You should also budget for notary fees (typically 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 Valencian Community's conditions — for example based on age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Spanish banks typically lend non-residents up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation (whichever is lower), so a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though individual offers depend on your financial profile and the lender. Your solicitor or an independent mortgage broker can help compare products from Spanish banks.
What are the ongoing running costs?
The annual IBI (council tax) is EUR 172. There are no community fees for this property. Basura (refuse collection) charges have not been confirmed — ask the agent for the current figure from the local authority. Utility contracts (electricity, water) will need to be transferred to your name on completion.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. OceanHome can arrange a live video viewing via WhatsApp, FaceTime or Zoom so you can walk through the property in real time with one of our agents. This is a useful first step before committing to a visit in person. Contact us to schedule a time that suits you.
Does this property have rental potential?
La Siesta is a primarily residential neighbourhood, but Torrevieja as a whole attracts a significant number of seasonal visitors. Short-term tourist lets in the Valencian Community require a tourist licence from the regional authority. The three-bedroom layout and rooftop terrace may appeal to holiday tenants. We recommend consulting a local property manager for realistic occupancy and income estimates before purchasing for rental purposes.
What does the purchase process look like?
You will first need a Spanish NIE number (tax identification number for foreigners), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once terms are agreed, 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), where typically 10% of the purchase price is paid. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the remaining balance, taxes and fees are settled and the keys are handed over. The full process commonly takes six to twelve weeks from offer to completion.
