About Torretas, Torrevieja
Torrevieja is one of the most popular destinations on Spain's Costa Blanca.
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 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. 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. 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 — so it is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage on this property as a non-resident?
Non-resident buyers in Spain can typically borrow 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 for non-residents are broadly in the range of 3.5–4.5%, though your bank's offer will depend on your financial profile and the lender. We can refer you to independent mortgage brokers with experience in Spanish property finance.
What are the ongoing running costs?
The annual IBI (local property tax) is EUR 120. There are no community fees, as this villa has no shared facilities or residents' association. Basura (refuse collection) charges have not been confirmed for this listing — the agent can provide the current figure. Utility contracts for water and electricity would be in your name from completion.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. In addition to in-person viewings, we offer video viewings by video call for buyers who are not currently in Spain. Contact us to arrange a time that suits you, and we will walk through the property and garden on camera so you can ask questions in real time.
Is this property suitable for holiday rental?
Torrevieja is an established tourist area and properties here can qualify for a tourist rental licence. Any rental income will depend on occupancy rates, how the property is managed and the seasonal demand in the Torretas area. We recommend obtaining independent advice on the licensing requirements set by the Valencian Community before purchasing with this intention.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, obtain an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), the tax identification number required for all property purchases in Spain. Once you agree a price, a reservation contract and fee take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point typically 10% of the price is paid. Final completion takes place before a notary, at which point the balance and all taxes and fees are settled. The transaction is then registered at the Land Registry. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to carry out due diligence throughout.
