Frequently Asked Questions

What are the purchase costs for this penthouse in Playa del Cura?
As a resale property in the Valencian Community, this purchase carries ITP (Impuesto de Transmisiones Patrimoniales) 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 estimate based on the asking price as a minimum. Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet the region's conditions — for example, based on age, large-family status, disability, or purchasing a primary residence — so it is worth checking before you budget. Beyond ITP, allow for notary fees of approximately €600 to €1,200, land registry fees of approximately €400 to €800, and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT. ITP is set by the autonomous region (the Valencian Community), not by the province or by Torrevieja itself.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Non-resident buyers can generally access mortgages on Spanish property, though lenders typically require a deposit of 30 to 40% of the purchase price, with the remainder financed. Variable and fixed rates currently range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5% annually, though individual offers depend on your financial profile and the lender. We recommend seeking independent mortgage advice before making an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs for this penthouse?
The annual IBI (local property tax) is €280. Community fees are €520 per year, covering shared areas and building maintenance including lift servicing within the gated urbanisation. Basura (refuse collection) charges are not confirmed for this listing; the agent can advise. Utility bills for electricity, water, and any air conditioning use will vary with consumption.
Can I view this property remotely before travelling to Torrevieja?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who are unable to visit in person. Our agents can conduct a live video walkthrough of the apartment, terrace, solarium, and garage space, and answer your questions in real time. Contact us to arrange a video or in-person viewing at a time that suits you.
Is this penthouse suitable for holiday or long-term rental?
Torrevieja is a popular coastal destination and properties in Playa del Cura, close to the beach and Avenida de las Habaneras, attract consistent rental demand across both holiday and long-term tenancy markets. The included private garage is a practical advantage in a central location where parking is limited. Holiday letting in the Valencian Community requires a tourist licence; speak to a local lawyer about current regulations and registration requirements before committing to a rental strategy.
What steps are involved in buying this property?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is required to complete any property purchase in Spain. Once you have agreed to proceed, a reservation contract 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. The balance is settled at the notary on completion, when title transfers officially. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish lawyer to carry out due diligence before signing any contract.
