Description
Built in 1988, this detached villa in El Chaparral sits on a 824 m² plot and offers 220 m² of built space across two floors. The property has four double bedrooms and two bathrooms, and requires renovation, making it well suited to buyers who want to configure the layout and finishes to their own specification. Two private parking spaces are included, and the villa is entirely exterior-facing, meaning each room receives natural light throughout the day.El Chaparral is a low-density residential area south of Torrevieja, close to the Torrevieja–Guardamar coastal road. The neighbourhood is characterised by detached villas and bungalows on generous plots, with several local supermarkets and restaurants within a short drive. Alicante-Elche Airport is approximately 35 minutes away by car. The beaches of La Mata and Guardamar del Segura are among the nearest stretches of coast accessible from El Chaparral.Annual IBI is €648. There are no community fees.

Tax is assessed on the higher of the price paid and the property's official reference value. Reduced rates may exist for buyers who meet the region's conditions on age, large-family status, disability, or primary-residence purchase.The 824 m² plot provides considerable scope for landscaping, a pool, or additional terracing, subject to the applicable planning permissions in El Chaparral.

Frequently Asked Questions
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 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. Notary fees typically run €600–1,200 and land registry fees €400–800. Budget roughly 1% of the purchase price plus VAT for legal representation. 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 a primary residence — and this is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers can generally access Spanish mortgages, though lenders typically require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price, with the remainder financed. Current variable and fixed rates broadly range from 3.5% to 4.5%, depending on the lender and your financial profile. It is advisable to obtain an agreement in principle before making an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs for this property?
The annual IBI (council tax) is €648. There are no community fees, as this is a standalone villa with no shared facilities. Utility connections (electricity, water) will be subject to standard supplier tariffs. Given the energy rating of G, heating and cooling costs are likely to be higher than for a recently insulated property, which is a factor to consider alongside any renovation plans.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. In addition to in-person appointments, we can arrange a live video viewing at a time that suits you, allowing you to walk through the property with one of our agents via video call. Contact us to book either option.
Does this villa have rental potential?
El Chaparral falls within the Torrevieja coastal zone, which is a licensed tourist rental area in the Valencian Community. Villas on large plots in this area are let on both short-term and long-term bases. Any rental activity requires a tourist licence from the Generalitat Valenciana. We recommend speaking with a local property manager for realistic occupancy and rate expectations before purchasing for investment purposes.
What is the typical purchase process in Spain?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE (foreigner identification number), which your solicitor can apply for on your behalf. Once an offer is agreed, a reservation deposit is 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 and both parties are contractually bound. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the balance is transferred and ownership passes to you. The process from offer to completion commonly takes 6–10 weeks.
