About La Siesta, Torrevieja
La Siesta occupies the highest area of Los Balcones in Torrevieja, offering some of the finest elevated views on the southern Costa Blanca across the salt lakes and mountains. This established residential zone is prized for its tranquillity, proximity to local amenities, and quick access to Orihuela Costa's beaches and golf courses.
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 11% of the purchase price. 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 at 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 from a Spanish lender, though the loan-to-value ratio is usually lower than for residents. Most lenders offer non-residents up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is generally required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain are broadly in the range of 3.5–4.5%, though rates vary by lender and applicant profile. We recommend speaking with an independent mortgage broker who specialises in Spanish property finance.
What are the annual running costs for this villa?
Annual IBI (council tax) is estimated at EUR 1,580. Community fees are estimated at approximately EUR 60 per month, covering communal areas and pool maintenance. Both figures are estimates. Utility costs for a property of this size will vary with usage. You should also budget for home insurance and, if applicable, an annual tourist licence fee if you plan to let the property.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who are unable to travel to Torrevieja immediately. Our agents can conduct a live video walkthrough of the villa and the La Siesta neighbourhood, allowing you to ask questions in real time. Contact us to arrange a suitable time.
Does this villa have rental potential?
Torrevieja is a well-established tourist destination on the Costa Blanca, and La Siesta attracts holidaymakers looking for residential properties with outdoor space. A six-bedroom villa with a communal pool, BBQ area, and lift is well suited to group and family lettings. To rent legally, you will need a tourist accommodation licence from the Valencian regional authority. We can put you in touch with local property managers who can advise on licensing and likely occupancy rates.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which can be obtained at a Spanish consulate in the UK or at a police station in Spain. Once you have agreed a price, a reservation contract and fee typically take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point a deposit of around 10% is usually paid and a completion date agreed. Final completion takes place before a Spanish notary, who registers the transfer. We strongly recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to act on your behalf throughout.
