Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs should I budget for?
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. On top of ITP, allow roughly EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for land registry fees, and around 1% plus VAT for legal representation. 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 — worth checking before you budget.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage to purchase this villa?
Non-resident buyers can typically borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of around 30–40% is usually required. Current variable and fixed rates from Spanish lenders generally range between 3.5% and 4.5%, though your individual rate will depend on your financial profile and the lender. We recommend obtaining a mortgage agreement in principle before making an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs?
The annual IBI (council tax) is €400. Community fees are currently nil for this property. The basura (refuse collection) charge has not been confirmed for this listing, so ask the agent for the current figure. The energy certificate is rated G, so factor in higher utility costs relative to a newer or better-insulated property.
How can I arrange a viewing?
In-person viewings can be booked through our Torrevieja office at a time that suits you. If you are based outside Spain, we can arrange a live video viewing via WhatsApp or video call so you can walk through the property remotely before committing to travel.
Is this property suitable for holiday rental?
Los Balcones sits within Torrevieja's tourist-active zone, and detached villas with private pools in this area are regularly let on short-term licences during the summer season. You would need to obtain a tourist rental licence from the Valencian Community authorities. We can put you in touch with a local property manager who can advise on licence requirements and realistic occupancy rates for the area.
What are the main steps in the purchase process?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE number, which is your tax identification as a foreign buyer; this can be obtained at a Spanish consulate abroad or at a police station in Spain. Once your offer is accepted, a reservation contract is typically signed and a holding deposit paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), usually accompanied by a further deposit of around 10% of the purchase price. The transaction is completed before a notary, at which point the balance is paid and the title deed signed. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to carry out due-diligence checks before any contract is signed.
