Frequently Asked Questions

What do properties actually sell for in Villamartín Golf?

Based on 2,726 registered sale deeds, properties in Villamartín Golf sold at an average of €2,688/m² — a typical transaction was €242,614 for a 90 m² property (Spanish Notariat, 2024). Source: Spanish Notariat (Consejo General del Notariado), 2024. Real deed prices, not asking prices.

What are the total costs of buying a property in Villamartín Golf?

Beyond the property price, expect notary fees, land registry, and taxes totalling approximately 10–13% of the purchase price. For a €130,000 property, this would typically amount to €13,000–€17,000. A lawyer will guide you through each cost. Our team at H&H can provide a detailed breakdown for any specific property.

What is daily life like in Villamartín Golf?

Most days revolve around golf, restaurants, and the Villamartín Plaza social hub. You'll find yourself walking to cafés, meeting friends for lunch, or catching live music in the evenings. The community is organised and English-speaking, so you won't feel isolated or struggle with practicalities. Families with school-age children typically school elsewhere but live here for the lifestyle and value.

What types of property are available, and what price range should I expect?

Properties range from studios and one-bedroom apartments (from €130,000) to three- or four-bedroom villas. The 2024 average sold price was around €243,000 (approximately €2,700/m²) for an average 90 m² home. You'll find townhouses, detached villas, and gated apartment complexes — all with golf and plaza access nearby.

As a non-resident, how straightforward is the buying process?

Very straightforward. Non-residents can buy without a Spanish address or residency permit — you'll need a tax identification number (NIE) and a Spanish bank account, which your lawyer arranges. The process typically takes 6–8 weeks from offer to completion. H&H handles the conveyancing alongside a local lawyer to ensure transparency at every step.

Can I expect rental income if I buy a property to let?

Yes — the three adjacent golf courses and established British expat community create consistent year-round lettings demand, particularly during winter months. Holiday rental rates typically range from €40–€80 per night depending on property type and season. Many owners let part of the year (winter peak) and use the property personally in summer. A lettings agent can handle bookings and management, taking 25–30% commission.

How easy is it to get around, and how far is the airport?

Alicante Airport is 30 minutes by car via the AP-7 motorway — very convenient for international flights and visitor arrivals. A car is essential for daily life in Villamartín, though the road network is straightforward. Murcia Airport is 50 minutes south, giving flexibility for different flight routes. Torrevieja town centre is 15 minutes for services and dining beyond the immediate area.

What is the average property price in Villamartín Golf?

Contact our team for an up-to-date picture of what your budget will achieve in Villamartín Golf.

Is Villamartín Golf a good property investment?

Costa Blanca — and Villamartín Golf in particular — has consistently shown strong demand from international buyers, which supports long-term value. Holiday rental yields of 5–8% are achievable in well-located properties. Tourism in the region has grown year-on-year, and Spain's infrastructure investment continues to drive capital appreciation over time.
