About Playa del Cura, Torrevieja
Torrevieja is one of the most popular destinations on Spain's Costa Blanca.
What are the purchase costs on top of the asking price?
As a resale property in the Valencia Community (Alicante province), you pay ITP transfer tax at 10% of the purchase price, which is EUR 14,990 on EUR 149,900. Add notary fees of approximately EUR 600-1,200, land registry fees of approximately EUR 400-800, and legal fees of around 1% plus VAT (roughly EUR 1,499 plus VAT). Total additional costs are typically around 12-13% of the purchase price, or approximately EUR 18,000-20,000.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident?
Non-resident buyers can generally obtain a mortgage on a property priced at EUR 149,900, though Spanish banks typically require a deposit of 30-40% from non-residents, meaning you would need EUR 44,970-59,960 upfront. Current variable and fixed rates from Spanish lenders are broadly in the 3.5-4.5% range. We recommend speaking to a specialist broker before making an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
The annual IBI (council tax) is EUR 204 and community fees are EUR 32 per month (EUR 384 per year). There is no basura (refuse) figure confirmed at this time; this cost is typically billed separately by the local council. Utility contracts for water and electricity are set up independently by the owner.
Can I view the property remotely?
Yes. We can arrange a live video viewing via WhatsApp or video call at a time that suits you, so you can see the apartment in real time without travelling to Spain. In-person viewings are also available by appointment.
What is the rental potential for this apartment?
Playa del Cura sits within Torrevieja, which is a designated tourist municipality. The apartment can be registered for a short-term holiday rental licence under Valencian Community regulations. Demand for holiday rentals in the area is strongest from May to October, with year-round bookings also possible given Torrevieja's mild winters. We do not quote yield percentages, but an independent letting agent can provide a realistic income estimate based on current market data.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, you obtain a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which is required to complete any property purchase. Once you agree on a price, you pay a reservation fee to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), typically with a 10% deposit, which binds both parties. Finally, the sale is completed before a notary, who registers the title deed. The full process from offer to completion usually takes 4-8 weeks.
