Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for on top of the sale 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), so it is worth checking before you finalise your budget. In addition, 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 legal representation.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers can typically obtain a mortgage in Spain, though most lenders require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Variable and fixed rates currently sit broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though the rate offered will depend on your lender, the loan term and your financial profile. We recommend speaking to an independent mortgage broker familiar with the Spanish market.
What are the ongoing running costs for this property?
This property has no community fees. Annual IBI (council tax) and basura (waste collection) figures have not been confirmed for this listing and should be requested directly from the agent before exchange. There are no shared facilities such as a pool or lift that would generate additional community charges.
Can I arrange a viewing, and is a remote viewing possible?
Yes. In-person viewings can be booked through the OceanHome office. If you are unable to travel to Torrevieja, we can also arrange a live video viewing at a time that suits you, allowing you to walk through the property remotely and ask questions in real time.
Is this property suitable for short-term holiday rental?
Torrevieja is a designated tourist area and demand for short-term holiday rentals is consistent throughout summer, with some year-round demand given the mild winters. To let legally on a short-term basis in the Valencian Community you will need to register the property and obtain a tourist licence. We can refer you to local specialists who manage the application process and ongoing lettings. We do not quote rental yield projections as these vary considerably with occupancy, management costs and seasonal pricing.
What are the main steps in the purchase process?
First, you will need an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), the tax identification number required for any property transaction in Spain. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation contract and deposit secures the property. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point a further deposit is typically paid. The transaction completes before a notary, who oversees the signing of the title deeds (escritura) and the transfer of funds. Your solicitor will then register the title at the Land Registry on your behalf.
