Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the EUR 199,000 asking price?
As a resale property in Alicante province, you pay ITP (transfer tax) at 10%, which is EUR 19,900 on this price. Add notary fees of roughly EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400–800, and solicitor fees of approximately 1% plus VAT (around EUR 2,000–2,500). Total purchase costs are typically 12–13% on top of the sale price.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish banks generally lend non-residents up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation, whichever is lower. On EUR 199,000 that means a deposit of around EUR 60,000–80,000. Current variable and fixed rates are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though terms vary by lender and applicant profile.
What are the ongoing running costs?
There are no community fees on this property. IBI (council tax) figures were not supplied by the vendor; the estimated annual IBI for a villa of this size and age in La Siesta is typically EUR 300–600, but you should request the exact figure from Torrevieja's Ayuntamiento before exchange. Refuse collection (basura) charges were also not provided.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We can arrange a live video viewing via WhatsApp or video call at a time that suits you, giving you a guided walkthrough of all rooms and the outdoor space. In-person viewings in La Siesta can be booked directly through OceanHome.
Does La Siesta have rental potential?
Torrevieja is classified as a tourist municipality, so short-term holiday lets are permitted subject to obtaining a tourist licence from the Generalitat Valenciana. La Siesta attracts longer-term seasonal rentals from European visitors, particularly in spring and summer. Speak to our lettings team for current demand data in this neighbourhood.
How does the purchase process work in Spain?
First, you obtain an NIE (foreigner identification number), which is required for any property purchase in Spain. Once you agree a price, a reservation deposit (typically EUR 3,000–6,000) takes the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), where usually 10% of the price is paid and the completion date is set. Finally, both parties sign before a notary, at which point the balance and all taxes are paid and the keys are handed over.
