A detached corner villa on an 800 m2 plot in Torreta Florida, built in 1981 and laid out across 159 m2 of internal living space. The property has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, arranged to give each bedroom good separation and privacy. It sits on a south-facing corner position, which brings natural light into the main rooms for most of the day. Neighbours on plots of similar size in Torreta Florida have subdivided and built two independent dwellings, so the land carries genuine development interest alongside its use as a family home.Torreta Florida is a low-density residential area of Torrevieja, characterised by detached and semi-detached villas on generous plots. The urbanisation is gated, and the street network is quiet compared with the busier coastal strips closer to the centre. Torrevieja's salt lagoons and the Parque Natural de las Lagunas de La Mata y Torrevieja are within a short drive, and the town's main commercial streets and weekly markets are accessible without leaving the municipality. Alicante-Elche Airport is approximately 35 minutes by car.Annual IBI is EUR 665. Community fees are nil. The property carries an energy rating of G, which is common for villas of this era. Torreta Florida sees consistent demand for long-term rentals, and the plot size adds an angle for buyers with a longer-term view. This is a resale property in the Valencian Community: ITP transfer tax applies at 9% of the purchase price, rising to 11% on the portion of value above EUR 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. Additional buying costs typically include notary fees of EUR 600 to EUR 1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400 to EUR 800, and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT. Reduced ITP rates and local allowances may apply depending on the buyer's circumstances, such as age, disability status, large-family status, or primary residence purchase.Outside, the 800 m2 plot contains a private swimming pool, a jacuzzi, a covered porch, a patio, and a separate terrace. There is off-street parking for two vehicles and an enclosed garage. An outdoor shower and a guest toilet sit adjacent to the pool area. The garden wraps around the corner aspect of the plot, giving usable outdoor space on more than one elevation.

About Torreta Florida, Torrevieja
Torrevieja is one of the most popular destinations on Spain's Costa Blanca.
What are the purchase costs on top of the sale price?
This is a resale property in the Valencian Community. ITP transfer tax applies at 9% of the purchase price, rising to 11% on any portion of value above EUR 1,000,000. Note that 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. On top of ITP, budget for notary fees of roughly EUR 600 to EUR 1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400 to EUR 800, and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT at 21%. Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet the Valencian Community's conditions, for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying as a primary residence — worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Spanish lenders typically offer non-residents mortgages covering 60 to 70% of the purchase price or valuation, whichever is lower. That means a deposit of 30 to 40% of the purchase price, plus buying costs. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates for non-resident buyers generally range from around 3.5% to 4.5% annually, though rates vary by lender, term, and applicant profile. We can connect you with a broker who works with international buyers.
What are the ongoing running costs?
The annual IBI (council tax) is EUR 665. Community fees are nil — Torreta Florida does not operate a community charge for this property. The property carries an energy rating of G, which is typical for villas built in the early 1980s, so factor in air conditioning and heating running costs accordingly. Refuse collection charges (basura) are set by the local authority and are not confirmed in the listing data; the agent can provide the current figure.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who are unable to travel to Torrevieja at short notice. A member of the team will walk through the property on a live video call so you can see the layout, the outdoor spaces, and the plot in real time. In-person viewings can be arranged with advance notice. Contact us to book either option.
Is this property suitable as a rental investment?
Torrevieja is classified as a tourist area within the Valencian Community, and there is consistent demand for both short-term holiday lets and longer-term rentals. A four-bedroom detached villa with a private pool on an 800 m2 plot typically attracts strong interest from families during the summer season. Short-term tourist lets require a Valencian Community tourist licence; the agent can advise on the application process. The plot's subdivision potential may also appeal to buyers with a development angle in mind.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which is required for any property purchase in Spain and can be obtained through a Spanish consulate abroad or in person at a police station in Spain. Once you have agreed a price, a reservation fee (typically around EUR 3,000 to EUR 6,000) secures the property and removes it from the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point a deposit — usually 10% of the purchase price — is paid. The balance is settled at the notary on the completion date, when the public deed is signed and keys are handed over. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to carry out due diligence before you sign anything.
