Purchase costs in Spain typically run 10–13% of the property price and include notary fees, land registry, legal services, and property transfer tax. A €200,000 purchase would involve approximately €20,000–26,000 in additional costs. Your solicitor will provide an exact breakdown once you have identified a property; Hansson & Hertzell's Scandinavian-speaking legal team can guide you through each step.

Life centres around local rhythms—morning coffee at neighbourhood bars, afternoon beach time, and evening meals with family or friends at established restaurants. Both towns maintain genuine Spanish character without feeling isolated; you'll encounter local workers, fishermen, and families alongside international residents. Summers bring beach activity; winters are quiet and perfect for those seeking genuine peace rather than resort atmosphere.

Properties range from modest apartments and townhouses suitable for renovation from €150,000 upwards, through to larger villas with sea views commanding higher premiums. Beachfront and town-centre locations command premiums; properties set back from the seafront offer better value. The market remains relatively modest in volume, so finding the right property sometimes requires patience and local market knowledge.

Yes, non-residents can purchase without restriction or visa requirement. You will need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE) and a Spanish bank account, both arranged straightforwardly by your solicitor. The process typically takes 8–12 weeks from offer to completion. Hansson & Hertzell manages the legal coordination and can connect you with English-speaking conveyancers who specialise in international sales.

Both towns attract consistent summer tourism and increasing year-round holiday rental demand, particularly for self-catering apartments and small villas. Rental returns depend entirely on property type, location, and management approach; there is no single yield figure applicable across the area. Waterfront and central properties tend to let more reliably. Many owners combine short-term holiday letting with longer-term tenancies to balance income and flexibility.

Both towns sit on the AP-7 motorway, providing straightforward access north to Alicante Airport (45 min) or inland to Murcia-Corvera Airport (30 min). Within the towns, you'll need a car for most daily journeys, though local buses serve key routes. For those prioritising flight connections to Scandinavia, Murcia-Corvera often offers competitive routes and typically shorter queues than Alicante.
