About Rosaleda Los Frutales, Torrevieja
Torrevieja is one of the most popular destinations on Spain's Costa Blanca.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs 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. 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) — worth checking before you budget. In addition, allow for notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (EUR 400–800), and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Spanish banks typically lend non-residents up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation, 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 the rate offered will depend on your financial profile and the lender. A Spanish mortgage broker can help you compare options before you make an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs for this villa?
Annual IBI (property tax) is approximately €400. There are no community fees, as the property is not part of a homeowners' association. You should also budget for utilities (electricity, water, and rubbish collection), and for the cost of any renovation works you plan to undertake. Buildings insurance for a detached villa on a 600m2 plot is an additional annual cost to factor in.
How can I arrange a viewing?
You can request an in-person viewing through the OceanHome contact form or by calling our office directly. If you are based outside Spain, we also offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call, so you can assess the property and ask questions in real time before travelling.
What is the rental potential of this property?
Torrevieja is an established tourist destination on the Costa Blanca with strong summer demand for short-term rentals. A renovated three-bedroom villa with a private pool on a 600m2 plot would be a competitive offering in this market. Short-term holiday lets in the Valencian Community require a tourist licence from the regional authority. The planning permission for additional floors could also allow for future expansion of lettable accommodation, subject to the relevant licences being obtained.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is required for any property purchase and can be obtained at a Spanish consulate or in Spain. Once you agree a price, a reservation contract and deposit typically take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), where a further deposit — commonly 10% of the price — is paid. The sale is completed before a Spanish notary, who registers the deed. Using an independent Spanish solicitor throughout is strongly recommended.
