Spanish purchase costs typically run 10–13% of the property price, including notary fees, land registry, and stamp duty. A property at €150,000 would incur around €15,000–€19,500 in total costs. We advise all non-resident buyers to budget for this upfront and to work with a qualified gestoría (tax advisor) who can navigate Spanish residency and fiscal requirements. Our team at Hansson & Hertzell handles the introduction and coordination throughout the process.

The town attracts summer holiday lets and longer-term rentals from those seeking a quieter, more authentic coastal experience than the larger resorts. Rental demand is steady rather than peak-season intense, which can suit investors preferring more sustainable occupancy rates and fewer management headaches. Speak with our team for realistic expectations based on current market conditions—we don't overstate yields, but genuine Spanish coastal towns retain reliable tenant interest.

Non-residents can buy freely in Spain without restrictions, though you'll need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE) and will follow a standard notarised purchase process. The timeline is typically 6–8 weeks from offer to completion. Hansson & Hertzell manages the legal coordination, liaising with notaries and ensuring all documentation is correct. We recommend instructing a Spanish lawyer independently to review terms—we can recommend trusted professionals.

The international community is smaller and more integrated than in larger resorts—British, Norwegian, and Swedish residents live alongside Spanish families rather than in separate bubbles. If you're seeking authentic Spanish living with some familiar faces nearby, this works well. If you need dense expat infrastructure, larger communities exist in Orihuela Costa and Torrevieja, 20–30 minutes north. Torre de la Horadada suits those who want Spain first.
