Orientation Tours/Consultancy
Whether you are already in Spain or you would like to visit, in order to purchase property on the Costa Blanca, the big question is always…Where..!!
The Costa Blanca extends to over 200 kilometres of Mediterranean coastline in the Alicante province of Spain, all the way from the town of Dénia in the north, beyond which lies the Costa del Azahar (Costa dels Tarongers), to Pilar de la Horadada in the south, beyond which lies the Costa Cálida.
The Costa Blanca includes the major tourist destinations of Benidorm, Alicante, Dénia and Javea and obviously a wide variety of terrain and scenery.
Having already sold more than 2,000 homes in Spain to our European clients, we know the thought processes of people who are looking to take their first steps towards property ownership on The Costa Blanca.

The Spanish property buying process is very simple. Once we have found you a home which you would like to buy you will normally place a reservation deposit, which effectively takes the property off the market and fixes the price.
The next stage is the completion of the private contract of Spanish property purchase.

RESALE PURCHASE COSTS

Transfer Tax (Impuesto sobre Transmisiones Patrimoniales – ITP)
This tax applies if the property is deemed to be a second or posterior transfer (i.e. not the first time a newly built home is bought)
The general rule is ITP @ 7%.
Notary Expenses
Notary expenses are always paid by the buyer and are calculated in relation to the purchase price declared in the deeds of sale. To be on the safe side you should calculate Notary fees as being 1% of the purchase price declared in the deeds of sale. In many cases however Notary fees are more like 0.5% (or less) of the price declared in the deeds.
Property Registry Inscription Fees
Expenses related to inscribing the sale with the land registry are also nearly always paid by the buyer, and are calculated in relation to the purchase price declared in the deeds of sale. To be on the safe side you should calculate 1% of the purchase price declared in the deeds, though once again it depends upon the property and the area, and the fee could be considerably lower.
In Summary, allow for up to 10% of the purchase price in taxes and other costs.
N.B. If the buyer takes out a mortgage these costs can be somewhat higher due to an additional public deed for the mortgage and the inevitable bank charges involved. In this case transaction costs might reach between 12% and 14% of the value of the property purchased.
Plusvalia
A special reference should be made to the local capital gains tax – known as Plusvalía. This is a local / municipal tax that only applies to the increase in value of the land upon which urban properties are built, and that is levied at the time of transfer of such properties. It is calculated on the basis of the valor catastral (an administrative value that is usually lower than the market value, sometimes considerably so) of the property. The amount to be paid will depend on how long the seller has owned the property: the longer the period of time during which the seller has owned the property, the higher the amount of tax.
This tax is to be paid by the seller.
Capital gains tax
Spanish property sold by a non-resident owner will be charged capital gains tax at 18%, with a 3% withholding provision which is retained at notary appointment, this is then decuded from the 18%.
Finally you will complete the purchase of your Spanish property. This is the day you will receive the keys and can start enjoying your new home. Even after purchase, whether you need pool or garden maintenance, small or large building work, we are here to help.
