2-bedroom apartment in Lomas De Cabo Roig

Expect acquisition costs of 10–12% on top of the purchase price. This includes transfer tax (ITP: 6%), notary fees (~€500–800), property registration (~€200–400), and legal representation (highly recommended for foreign buyers: €1,000–1,500). For non-residents, wealth tax applies annually on properties above €600,000. At €159,000, your total cost would land around €177,000–€179,000. Currency exchange and bank fees add another 1–2% for Nordic buyers. We always recommend working with a dual-qualified Spanish gestoría for tax efficiency.

Absolutely. Unlike resort-style areas, Lomas De Cabo Roig attracts permanent Scandinavian residents—Swedish and Norwegian families especially. The community has established routines: Swedish language groups, decent schools nearby (both international and Spanish), and reliable supermarkets stocking familiar brands. Summers are hot (32–35°C), but autumns and springs are near-perfect. Winter temperatures hover around 15°C—mild but requiring light heating. Most successful Nordic families here emphasise the summer season while maintaining professional connections back home through remote work.

Yes. Ground-floor units with 50m² terraces in established communities like Lomas De Cabo Roig typically trade at €2,200–€2,400 per square metre. At €159,000 for 70m², you're at €2,270/m²—solidly fair market. Recent comparable sales in the area (late 2023–2024) confirm this bracket. The value accelerates because outdoor space commands premium returns in rental markets. Properties without terraces fetch €1,800–€2,000/m². We've tracked 500+ Costa Blanca transactions; this sits in genuine value territory, not inflated.

Most Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish buyers can complete within 8–12 weeks. Step one: non-resident tax number (NIE—2–3 weeks, handled by your Spanish lawyer). Step two: formal offer and deposit (5–10%, held in escrow). Step three: notarised deed signing (6–8 weeks for searches, inspections, mortgage approval if needed). Final step: funds transfer and registration (2–3 weeks). Open a Spanish bank account early—most lenders prefer it. Hansson & Hertzell coordinates this timeline and recommends using a bilingual Spanish abogado to protect your interests throughout.

Ground-floor units with terraces in Lomas De Cabo Roig typically achieve €100–€140 per night June–September (peak: €130–€150). Expect 60–75% occupancy in peak months, 40–50% in shoulder seasons (April–May, September–October). Conservative estimate: €8,500–€10,000 annually. After mortgage interest (if applicable), property tax (~€150/year), insurance (~€300/year), and management fees (15–20%), net yield sits around 4–6%. Longer-term rentals (6–12 months) to expats yield lower nightly rates but higher occupancy and lower management overhead. Many owners mix both strategies for stability.
