About Playa del Cura, Torrevieja
Torrevieja is one of the most popular destinations on Spain's Costa Blanca.
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. Tax is assessed 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 — worth checking before you budget. Additional costs typically include notary fees (EUR 600–1,200), land-registry fees (EUR 400–800), and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage to buy this property?
Yes. Spanish lenders generally offer non-residents up to 60–70% loan-to-value, meaning a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price is usually required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates for non-residents are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though individual terms depend on your financial profile and chosen lender. A mortgage broker with experience in Spanish property can help you compare products before you commit.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
The annual IBI (council tax) charge is €240. Community fees are €39 per month, covering maintenance of shared areas including the communal solarium and lift. Utility bills (electricity, water) are not included in community fees and will vary with usage. The energy rating is G, so electricity costs may be higher than for a more efficient property.
Can I view this apartment remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. OceanHome can arrange a live video viewing at a time that suits you, allowing you to walk through the property in real time with one of our agents. This is available alongside in-person viewings for buyers who prefer to visit. Contact us to book either option.
Is this apartment suitable as a rental investment?
Playa del Cura attracts both short-term holiday visitors and longer-term renters, given its proximity to the beach and Torrevieja town centre. A tourist rental licence from the Valencian Community is required before letting the property on a short-term basis, and the property must meet minimum habitability standards. We recommend speaking to a local property manager about realistic occupancy and rental income for this area before purchasing for investment purposes.
What does the purchase process involve in Spain?
First, you will need an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), a Spanish tax identification number for foreign buyers, which can be obtained at a Spanish consulate abroad or in person in Spain. Once you agree a price, a reservation contract is signed and a deposit (typically around €3,000–€6,000) is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), where usually 10% of the purchase price is paid, and finally completion at the notary, where the title deeds are signed and the balance is transferred. We strongly recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to act on your behalf throughout.
