Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for 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. Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet the Valencian Community's conditions — for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — and it is worth checking before you finalise your budget. On top of ITP, allow roughly EUR 600–1,200 for the notary, EUR 400–800 for the property registry and around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT for legal fees.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Non-resident buyers can typically obtain a mortgage from a Spanish lender, though most banks require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Variable and fixed rates currently sit broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, depending on the lender, your financial profile and the loan term. We recommend consulting an independent mortgage broker who specialises in Spanish property before making an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently nil. Annual IBI (council tax) figures are not available for this listing and must be confirmed with the agent before you exchange contracts. You should also budget for utility standing charges and contents insurance. The energy rating is G, so heating and cooling costs may be higher than in a more efficient property.
Can I view the property remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings by appointment for buyers who cannot travel to Torrevieja immediately. A member of our team will walk through the apartment and communal areas with you live via video call. In-person viewings in La Veleta can usually be arranged at short notice.
Is this apartment suitable as a rental investment?
La Veleta has steady demand from long-term tenants, including workers and families based in Torrevieja. For short-term holiday lets a tourist licence is required under Valencian Community regulations, and licence availability varies by building and local ordinance. We recommend confirming the licensing position with your solicitor before purchase if short-term rental income is part of your plan.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, obtain an NIE (número de identificación de extranjero) from a Spanish consulate or in Spain — this is required before signing any property document. Once your offer is accepted, you typically pay a reservation fee to take the property off the market, followed by a formal arras (preliminary contract) in which a deposit of around 10% is paid and the completion date is fixed. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, at which point the balance is paid and title transfers to you. Engaging a qualified independent solicitor before you sign anything is strongly advised.
