About Playa del Cura, Torrevieja
Torrevieja is one of the most popular destinations on Spain's Costa Blanca.
What purchase costs should I budget for beyond 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 €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) — worth checking before you budget. On top of ITP, allow roughly EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for land registry registration, and around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT for legal fees.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Yes. Spanish banks typically lend non-residents up to 60–70% of the purchase price, so you should expect to provide a deposit of 30–40%. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain broadly range from 3.5% to 4.5% annually, though individual offers vary by lender and applicant profile. An independent mortgage broker familiar with the Spanish market can help you compare products before making an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
The annual IBI (council tax) is EUR 249. Community fees, which cover building maintenance, lift servicing, and communal area upkeep, are EUR 400 per year, equivalent to approximately EUR 33 per month. You will also pay utilities (electricity, water, internet) separately. The energy rating is E, which is typical for a 1998-built apartment and is worth factoring into your utility estimates.
Can I view the apartment remotely before travelling?
Yes. OceanHome can arrange a live video viewing at a time that suits you, so you can walk through the property room by room without being in Spain. Many buyers use a video viewing to shortlist before making the trip for an in-person visit. Contact the agent to book either option.
What is the rental potential for this apartment?
Playa del Cura sits directly beside Torrevieja's main beach and promenade, which sustains consistent demand for both tourist and long-term rentals. A furnished, three-bedroom apartment of 107m2 in this neighbourhood is well suited to holiday lets through platforms such as Airbnb or Booking.com, as well as longer residential tenancies. Your agent can provide guidance on typical occupancy patterns and local licence requirements before you commit to a rental strategy.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is required for any property transaction in Spain. Once you agree a price, a reservation contract and deposit secures the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), under which a larger deposit — typically 10% — is paid and both parties are legally bound. The transaction completes before a Spanish notary, who registers the title deed with the land registry. It is strongly recommended to instruct an independent solicitor to carry out due diligence before signing any contract.
