About San Luis, 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 the 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 fees, and around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT for a solicitor.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Spanish lenders typically offer non-residents up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation (whichever is lower), meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though individual offers vary by lender and your financial profile. We can refer you to an independent mortgage broker experienced with overseas buyers.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are nil for this property. The annual IBI (council tax) figure has not been provided by the vendor; please request it before exchanging contracts. Basura (refuse collection) charges have also not been confirmed and should be verified with the local town hall. Utility bills — electricity and water — will depend on usage.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who cannot travel to Torrevieja immediately. We walk through the property in real time, including the balcony, garden and surrounding street. In-person viewings can be arranged seven days a week with advance notice.
Is this property suitable as a holiday rental?
San Luis sits within the Torrevieja municipality, which is a recognised tourist area on the Costa Blanca. Properties let on a short-term basis require a tourist licence from the Valencian Community authorities. Demand in the wider Torrevieja area is consistent across spring, summer and autumn given the salt lakes, beaches and warm climate. We recommend speaking to a local lettings agent for realistic occupancy expectations before committing.
What steps are involved in buying this property?
First, obtain an NIE (Spanish tax identification number), which is required for any property purchase in Spain. Once you agree a price, 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), typically with 10% of the price exchanged, which binds both parties. Finally, the sale is completed before a notary, who registers the title transfer. We strongly recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor before signing any document.
