When purchasing in Spain, expect total acquisition costs (notary, legal, and transfer tax) to fall between 10–13% of the purchase price. For a €300,000 property, this typically amounts to €30,000–€39,000 on top of the agreed price. Your conveyancing lawyer at Hansson & Hertzell will itemise these costs transparently before you commit, and we can connect you with Spanish mortgage providers if required.

Finestrat benefits from strong rental demand year-round, driven by proximity to Benidorm's tourist infrastructure, golf amenities, and the quality of modern urbanisations. Properties in Sierra Cortina command higher nightly rates than equivalent units in central Benidorm due to privacy, views, and facilities. We recommend assessing rental potential on a case-by-case basis with our local team, who have comprehensive short- and long-term rental performance data.

Yes. Non-EU buyers (British, Scandinavian, or otherwise) can purchase residential property in Spain without restriction, provided you register a Spanish tax identification number (NIE). The process is straightforward and typically handled by your legal representative. Hansson & Hertzell manages this for all our international clients and coordinates with Spanish notaries and registry offices to ensure compliance and speed.

Finestrat offers a range from modest apartments (€250,000–€350,000) through to substantial family villas and resort-style townhouses (€400,000–€750,000+). The 2024 notary register records an average sold price of €378,000 across 134 square metres. New-build properties command a premium (around €4,515 per square metre), reflecting modern specifications and contemporary amenities; resale stock averages €2,826 per square metre, offering good value for established properties with proven rental or owner-occupancy history.

Alicante Airport is 55 minutes south by motorway — a realistic commute for business or regular European travel. Once settled, a private vehicle is strongly recommended for Sierra Cortina living, as the hillside positioning and community-spread layout favour personal transport. Benidorm's public tram network is 10 minutes away by car for day trips and wider regional access.

Finestrat offers a fundamentally residential pace — think quiet hillside village with modern villa complexes, shared amenities, and established expat communities — yet remains five minutes from Benidorm's full menu of beaches, restaurants, theme parks, and nightlife. Buyers typically choose Finestrat to access Benidorm's infrastructure whilst preserving privacy, views, and a sense of community. You get the best of both worlds without the intensity of beachfront living or transient tourism character.
