About Playa del Cura, Torrevieja
Torrevieja is one of the most popular destinations on Spain's Costa Blanca for international property buyers. With over 300 days of sunshine per year, excellent healthcare facilities, and a large expat community, the area offers an outstanding quality of life.
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 typically include notary fees (EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (EUR 400–800), and legal fees at approximately 1% of the purchase price plus VAT.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers can generally obtain a Spanish mortgage, though lenders typically require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Current variable and fixed rates broadly range from 3.5% to 4.5%, depending on the lender, your financial profile, and the loan term. Your solicitor or an independent mortgage broker can help you compare offers before committing.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
The annual IBI (council tax) is EUR 417. Community fees are EUR 45 per month, covering shared areas and building maintenance. There is no basura (waste collection) charge on record for this listing; your solicitor can confirm the current local fee. Utility costs will depend on usage, but the hot and cold air conditioning system will be the main variable.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. In-person viewings can be booked through our Torrevieja office, and we can also arrange a live video viewing if you are unable to travel. Contact us to schedule a time that suits you.
What is the rental potential of this apartment?
Playa del Cura benefits from strong short-term rental demand, driven by its beach proximity and Torrevieja's position as a year-round destination on the Costa Blanca South. Four bedrooms make this apartment well suited to family rentals, which typically achieve higher nightly rates than smaller units. A local rental management company can provide realistic occupancy and yield projections based on current market data; we can recommend contacts on request.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once you have agreed a price, a reservation agreement is signed and a holding deposit paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point typically 10% of the purchase price is paid. Completion takes place before a notary, where the title deed (escritura) is signed and the balance transferred. The process from reservation to completion generally takes six to twelve weeks.
