Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs for this villa?
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. Notary fees typically run EUR 600–1,200; registry fees EUR 400–800; and legal fees are usually around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT. 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 — so it is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Non-resident buyers can generally obtain a Spanish mortgage, though lenders typically require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain currently range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%, depending on the lender and your financial profile. We recommend obtaining an agreement in principle before making an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs?
The annual IBI (council tax) for this property is EUR 582. There are no community fees. Utility costs will vary with usage and season. The energy rating is G, so heating and cooling costs may be higher than for more recently built or upgraded properties, although the installed heat pump (hot and cold) and air conditioning units help manage comfort year-round.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who are unable to visit in person, allowing you to take a guided tour of the property via video call. This is available on request for this Los Balcones villa. In-person viewings can be arranged at a time to suit you.
What is the rental potential for this property?
Torrevieja is a licensed tourist rental market and Los Balcones is an active area for holiday letting. The presence of a self-contained separate apartment within this property may allow for independent letting of that unit, subject to obtaining the appropriate tourist rental licence from the Valencian Community authorities. We recommend taking local legal advice on licensing requirements before purchase if rental income is part of your plan.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need to obtain a Spanish NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is required for all property transactions. Once your offer is accepted, a reservation agreement is typically signed and a deposit paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), where a further deposit — usually 10% of the purchase price — is paid. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, at which point the balance is transferred and the title deed (escritura) is signed. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish lawyer to act on your behalf throughout.
