About San Luis, Torrevieja
Torrevieja is one of the most popular destinations on Spain's Costa Blanca.
What purchase costs should I budget for 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 €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 this region's conditions (for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence), so this is worth checking before you budget. On top of ITP, allow roughly EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for land registry registration, and around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT for a solicitor.
Can I get a mortgage to buy this property?
Spanish banks typically lend up to 60–70% of the purchase price to non-resident buyers, meaning you would need a deposit of around 30–40%. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish lenders generally range between 3.5% and 4.5% annually, though the rate offered depends on your financial profile and the lender. Your solicitor or a Spanish mortgage broker can arrange pre-approval before you make an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs for this townhouse?
Community fees are zero for this property. The annual IBI (council tax) figure is not currently confirmed in the listing record and should be requested directly from the agent. Rubbish collection (basura) charges are set by Torrevieja town hall and are not included in the listing data. The A energy rating indicates the property is efficient to heat and cool, which typically keeps utility bills lower than comparable properties with a lower rating.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. The agent can arrange a live video viewing via WhatsApp or a video call platform at a time that suits you. This is a useful first step before committing to travel. In-person viewings in San Luis can usually be arranged at short notice, and the airport is 35 minutes away, making a day trip practical from many UK airports.
Is this property suitable as a rental investment?
Torrevieja is a designated tourist area and San Luis properties are eligible to apply for a Valencian Community tourist rental licence, provided local density limits have not been reached at the time of application. The ground-floor layout and south-facing aspect are attractive to the short-term market. We do not publish yield estimates, but the agent can share current rental market data for the San Luis district on request.
What are the main steps in the Spanish purchase process?
First, obtain an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is required for any property transaction in Spain. Once your offer is accepted, you sign a reservation agreement and pay a small deposit to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (contrato de arras), at which point typically 10% of the purchase price is paid. The balance is transferred at the notary on completion, where both parties sign the escritura (title deed). Your solicitor will then register the deed at the land registry and handle tax submissions on your behalf.
