Buying in Spain starts with context, not just listings

Most buyers begin by looking at photos, prices and square meters. But in Torrevieja and Costa Blanca, the real decision is often hidden behind the listing. A property can look attractive online and still be wrong for you because of the area, building condition, community rules, orientation, parking, future maintenance costs or simply because the price does not match the local market. Virgil Properties is not a general property portal. It is a buyer-focused real estate service for international clients who want local guidance before reserving a property in Spain. As a local buyer’s agent in Torrevieja and Costa Blanca, I help you compare properties, understand areas, organize visits or video viewings, check the practical pros and cons, and avoid rushed decisions. The goal is simple: to help you buy with a clearer picture of the market, not just with attractive photos on a screen.

Torrevieja is not one single property market

Many buyers search for “property in Torrevieja” as if the city were one uniform area. In reality, each zone attracts a different type of buyer. La Mata is different from Playa del Cura. Acequión is different from Los Locos. Los Balcones is different from the city centre. Punta Prima and Playa Flamenca have a different rhythm again. Some areas are better for beach access. Others make more sense for year-round living, parking, services, schools, larger homes or a quieter residential lifestyle. The right area depends on your real purpose: holidays, retirement, permanent living, rental income or a future move to Spain. One of the most common mistakes foreign buyers make is calculating only the advertised price. For resale properties in the Valencian Community, the general transfer tax — ITP/TPO — is 9% from 1 June 2026 for most property purchases up to €1,000,000. On top of this, buyers should also calculate notary, land registry, lawyer and administrative costs. As a practical estimate, buyers should usually budget around 11–13% additional purchase costs on top of the property price for a resale home, depending on the exact property, professional fees and buyer situation. Example: if you buy a resale apartment for €120,000 in Torrevieja, the ITP/TPO would usually be €10,800. With notary, land registry, lawyer and other costs, your realistic total budget may be around €133,000–€136,000. For new-build properties, buyers normally pay 10% VAT/IVA plus AJD and other purchase costs. If you buy with a Spanish mortgage as a non-resident, banks often require a higher deposit. Many foreign buyers should be prepared for around 30% of the property price as a down payment, plus taxes and purchase costs. These numbers should always be confirmed with a lawyer or bank, but knowing them from the beginning avoids disappointment later.

What I do as your buyer’s agent

As a local buyer’s agent in Torrevieja and Costa Blanca, I help foreign buyers compare properties, understand areas and avoid rushed decisions. My work can include property search, area advice, video viewings, visit planning, price comparison, negotiation support and coordination with lawyers, banks and notaries. The goal is simple: to help you buy with a clearer picture of the market. For many foreign buyers, the problem is not the lack of properties. The problem is knowing which properties deserve attention and which ones should be avoided.

From first search to notary, with local guidance

Buying a property in Spain is not complicated when the process is clear. Usually, the process starts by defining your budget, preferred areas and purpose of purchase. After that, we compare suitable properties, organize visits or video viewings, check the practical pros and cons, and prepare for a serious decision. When you choose a property, a reservation deposit is usually paid. In many cases this can be around €3,000–€5,000, depending on the property and agreement. Before moving forward, a lawyer should check the property, ownership, debts, legal situation and purchase conditions. The final step is the signing of the deed at the notary, followed by utilities, taxes and post-purchase formalities. I help buyers look beyond the photos: Is the location practical outside the summer season? Is the building well maintained? Are the community fees reasonable? Is parking a real issue? Is the beach distance realistic? Is the property suitable for holidays, retirement, rental or permanent living? Are there hidden renovation or maintenance costs? Sometimes the best advice is not “buy this property”, but “be careful, this may not be the right one for you”. That is proper buyer representation. If you are looking in Torrevieja, La Mata, Playa del Cura, Los Locos, Acequión, La Veleta, Los Balcones, Punta Prima, Playa Flamenca, Los Altos, Villamartín, Orihuela Costa or nearby areas, send me your budget and buying purpose. I will help you understand what is realistic in today’s market and where your money makes the most sense.
