About Playa De Los Naufragos, Torrevieja
Torrevieja is one of the most popular destinations on Spain's Costa Blanca for international property buyers. With over 300 days of sunshine per year, excellent healthcare facilities, and a large expat community, the area offers an outstanding quality of life.
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. Notary fees typically run 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 region'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.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Spanish lenders generally offer non-residents up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is typically required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates for non-residents in Spain range broadly from 3.5% to 4.5%, though individual offers vary by lender and applicant profile. We recommend obtaining an in-principle agreement before making an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs for this penthouse?
The annual IBI (council tax) is EUR 280. Community fees are EUR 20 per month. There is no basura (refuse collection) figure on record for this property — please ask the agent to confirm. The energy rating is G, so utility bills are likely to be higher than for a more recently insulated property.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. In addition to in-person viewings, we offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call, allowing you to walk through the property with one of our agents in real time. Contact us to schedule a time that suits you.
Is this property suitable for holiday letting?
Torrevieja is a popular coastal destination and Playa de los Naufragos is close to the beach, which tends to support demand for short-term rentals. The Valencian Community requires landlords to obtain a tourist licence before advertising a property for holiday let. Availability of licences can depend on local planning conditions, so buyers should confirm the position with the agent and seek independent legal advice before relying on rental income.
What does the purchase process look like?
First, obtain your NIE (Spanish tax identification number), which is required for all property transactions. Once you have agreed a price, 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), at which point typically 10% of the purchase price is paid. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, who registers the title deed. The full process from reservation to completion commonly takes six to twelve weeks.
