Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs apply to this apartment?
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. 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 — and it is worth checking before you budget. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers in Spain can typically borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is generally required. Current mortgage rates for non-residents are broadly in the range of 3.5–4.5%, though your lender's terms will vary. Spanish banks will require proof of income, tax returns, and a valid NIE number before issuing a mortgage offer.
What are the ongoing running costs for this property?
Community fees for this apartment are nil. The annual IBI (council tax) figure is not currently available and should be confirmed with the agent. Basura (refuse collection) charges are also not on file and should be verified before exchange. Utility bills for electricity, water, and any internet connection are payable by the occupant and will vary with usage.
Can I view this property remotely?
Yes. In addition to in-person viewings, we can arrange a video viewing via WhatsApp or video call at a time that suits you. Please contact the agent to book either option. We recommend an in-person visit before making an offer where possible.
What is the rental potential for this apartment?
Playa del Cura is a central district of Torrevieja with good proximity to the beach and town amenities, which supports both short-term holiday lets and longer residential tenancies. A tourist rental licence is required for short-term letting in the Valencian Community and must be obtained before advertising the property. The agent can advise on the local licensing process and current rental demand in the area.
What is the purchase process for buyers in Spain?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which can be obtained through a Spanish consulate or in person at a local police station in Spain. Once you have agreed a price, a reservation contract is signed and a small deposit paid to take the property off the market. This is typically followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point around 10% of the purchase price is paid and both parties are contractually bound. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the balance of the purchase price and all taxes and fees are paid and the title deed (escritura) is transferred to your name.
