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 EUR 165,000 asking price?
As a resale property in the Valencia region, this apartment is subject to ITP (Impuesto de Transmisiones Patrimoniales) at 10% of the purchase price, which amounts to EUR 16,500. You should also allow EUR 600 to 1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400 to 800 for land registry fees, and approximately 1% plus VAT for legal representation. Total additional costs typically fall between 12% and 13% of the purchase price.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Spanish banks do offer mortgages to non-residents on a property priced at EUR 165,000. Non-residents are generally required to provide a deposit of 30 to 40%, meaning you would need at least EUR 49,500 to EUR 66,000 upfront. Current variable and fixed rates typically range from 3.5% to 4.5%. We can introduce you to independent mortgage brokers who work with international buyers.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
The annual IBI (council tax) is EUR 213 and community fees are EUR 25 per month, totalling EUR 300 per year. You should also budget for utilities such as electricity and water, which vary by usage. These figures are based on the data provided for this listing.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who are unable to visit in person. A member of our team can walk through the apartment with you live via video call, or we can send a pre-recorded walkthrough. In-person viewings in Playa del Cura can be arranged at a time that suits you.
Is this apartment suitable for rental purposes?
Torrevieja is a popular tourist destination and Playa del Cura is close to the beach, which supports demand for short-term holiday lets. To rent legally in the Valencia region you will need a tourist licence (Vivienda de Uso Turístico). We do not quote estimated yield figures, but we can connect you with local property managers who can advise on realistic occupancy and income expectations.
What steps are involved in buying this property?
The process begins with obtaining an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is required for any property purchase in Spain. Once you have agreed a price, a reservation contract is signed and a deposit of typically EUR 3,000 to EUR 6,000 is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), where a further deposit of around 10% is exchanged. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the remaining balance is paid and the title deeds are transferred. We recommend engaging an independent Spanish solicitor throughout the process.
