At €2,411 per square metre, this property sits approximately 18% above the Torrevieja average of €2,040/m², reflecting its desirable location near amenities and the coast. However, the renovation opportunity creates significant value-add potential, as modernised properties in this area command premiums of 25-35% over unreformed equivalents. Torrevieja's rental market remains strong, with coastal properties achieving gross yields of 6-8% for holiday lets during peak season.
The broader Costa Blanca property market has shown resilience with prices appreciating approximately 40% since 2020, driven by continued international demand and Spain's attractive residency options for non-EU buyers. For investors willing to undertake renovation work, this property offers an excellent opportunity to enter the market below average price points while creating substantial equity through thoughtful improvements. Community fees and property taxes remain amongst the most competitive on the coast, maximising net rental returns for investors.
For resale properties like this bungalow, budget for 10% ITP (transfer tax), plus approximately 2-3% for notary, land registry, and legal fees. Total purchase costs typically reach 12-13% of the property price. On a €135,000 purchase, expect around €16,200-17,550 in additional costs. New build properties attract 10% IVA instead of ITP. We recommend engaging an independent solicitor to handle due diligence, title checks, and completion formalities.
Renovation costs in the Torrevieja area typically range from €400-800 per square metre depending on specification level. For a 56m² property, budget €22,400-44,800 for a complete renovation including new kitchen, bathroom, flooring, windows, and general refurbishment. Basic cosmetic updates (painting, minor repairs) may cost €5,000-10,000. We recommend obtaining at least three quotes from registered local contractors and ensuring proper building permits are secured before commencing work.
Yes, Spanish banks offer mortgages to non-resident foreign buyers, typically lending 60-70% of the property's appraised value. Current interest rates range from 3-4.5% for non-residents, with typical mortgage terms spanning 15-25 years. You'll need an NIE (foreigner identification number), proof of income, bank statements, and employment documentation. Some banks require larger deposits (40%) from non-EU citizens. Processing times average 4-6 weeks once documentation is complete.

Holiday rentals can achieve €500-700 per week during July-August, with shoulder season rates of €350-500 weekly, generating gross annual yields of 6-8%. Long-term rentals fetch €500-650 monthly, providing more stable income with lower management requirements.

Ensure you obtain the required tourist license (VUT) if pursuing short-term holiday lets.
Alicante-Elche Airport (ALC) lies approximately 40 kilometres from Torrevieja, with journey times of 35-45 minutes via the AP-7 motorway depending on traffic conditions. Taxi fares typically cost €45-55, while private transfers can be pre-booked from €35-40.

The essential first step is obtaining an NIE (Número de Identidad de Extranjero), which can be arranged through Spanish consulates abroad or in Spain with an appointment. You'll also need a Spanish bank account (opened with your NIE and passport), proof of funds demonstrating your ability to complete the purchase, and we strongly recommend appointing an independent English-speaking solicitor. The buying process involves signing a reservation contract, paying a deposit (typically 10%), conducting due diligence checks, and completing before a notary with final payment and key handover.
