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 in the Valencian Community, this purchase carries ITP transfer tax at 9% of the purchase price, rising to 11% on the entire value above EUR 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 region's conditions (for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence), so it is worth checking before you budget. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (EUR 400–800), and legal fees at around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers can typically obtain a Spanish mortgage, though lenders generally require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Current variable and fixed rates range broadly between 3.5% and 4.5%, depending on the lender and your financial profile. We recommend speaking with an independent mortgage broker who specialises in the Spanish market.
What are the ongoing running costs?
The annual IBI (council tax) is EUR 93. Community fees are EUR 32 per month, covering shared areas including the pool, barbecue zone, and playground. There is no basura (rubbish collection) fee on record for this listing; the agent can confirm the current local charge. The property holds an energy rating of E.
Can I view the property remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who cannot travel to Torrevieja immediately. Contact us to arrange a live video walkthrough at a time that suits you, or to request additional photos and floor plans before booking an in-person visit.
What is the rental potential of this apartment?
Playa del Cura is a recognised tourist area within Torrevieja, and the municipality operates a short-term holiday let licensing system under Valencian Community regulations. The small size and full furnishing of this apartment make it straightforward to let during the summer season. We do not quote yield percentages, as returns depend on occupancy rates, management costs, and seasonal pricing. A local letting agent can provide realistic income projections based on current demand.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, you will need an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is the tax identification number required for all Spanish property transactions. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation deposit is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), typically accompanied by a deposit of around 10% of the purchase price. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the balance is paid and ownership transfers to you. Having a qualified Spanish solicitor acting on your behalf throughout is strongly advisable.
