The right type of home depends on your budget, the desired space, and how much maintenance you are willing to do.
An apartment is often a practical choice for holiday use or wintering. Many apartments in Orihuela Costa are located in a gated community with a communal swimming pool and garden.
When purchasing, pay attention to, among other things:
A terraced house usually offers more indoor and outdoor space than an apartment. The home often features a terrace, garden, multiple bedrooms, and sometimes a private solarium.
This type of home is suitable for families and for buyers who want to stay in Spain for longer periods.
A detached villa offers more privacy and may feature a private garden, parking space, and private swimming pool. Villas are located in both coastal areas and residential neighborhoods surrounding the golf courses.
With a villa, take into account extra maintenance for the garden, the swimming pool, the facade, and technical installations.
Orihuela Costa regularly features new projects with apartments, townhouses, and villas. New-build homes in Orihuela Costa are often constructed using modern materials, energy-efficient installations, and communal facilities.
With new construction, it is important not only to look at the presentation and floor plan. The project documentation, payment schedule, completion date, and warranties must also be carefully checked.
With existing properties, you can fully view the home and the surroundings beforehand. Some homes are ready to move into immediately, while others offer opportunities for renovation or modernization.
CasaLasDunas assists you in assessing the location, condition, asking price, and relevant property documentation.
The price of a home in Orihuela Costa is determined by, among other things:
An apartment further inland generally has a different price range than a penthouse with a sea view or a detached villa close to the beach.
In addition to the purchase price, you must take additional costs into account. These may include, among others:
The exact costs vary per property and purchase structure. Moreover, existing properties and new builds do not always have the same taxes and costs.
Before reserving a property, it is wise to have a full cost estimate prepared. This way, you know in advance approximately how much total money you will need for the purchase.
Many buyers look for a home where they can stay themselves during holidays or for extended periods. In that case, comfort, maintenance, and accessibility are often more important than maximizing the rental yield.
Think in advance about questions such as:
By clearly documenting these preferences in advance, you avoid viewing homes that ultimately do not suit your needs.
Orihuela Costa is also interesting for buyers who wish to rent out the property wholly or partially. The potential outcome depends heavily on the location, the type of property, the rental period, and the applicable regulations.
A home close to the beach, golf, or amenities can be attractive to vacationers, but not every property is automatically eligible for tourist rentals. Permits, local regulations, and decisions by the homeowners' association can affect rental possibilities.
Therefore, have it checked before purchasing:
CasaLasDunas can inform you about the practical possibilities and, if applicable, assist with the management of the property.
We discuss your budget, desired location, home type, and the purpose of the purchase. We also take practical requirements into account, such as single-level living, outdoor space, or distance to the beach.
Based on your preferences, we make a targeted selection from our own portfolio and available homes through our local network.
We schedule viewings as efficiently as possible. During the viewing, we look not only at the property, but also at the location, surroundings, and any points of interest.
Have you found the right home? Then we will guide you through making an offer, the negotiations, and any potential reservation.
Do not sign or pay anything until it is clear under what conditions the property is being reserved.
An independent legal check is an important part of the purchasing process. This involves examining, among other things, the ownership situation, registrations, any debts, permits, and other relevant documentation.
To purchase a property in Spain, you generally need a NIE number. Depending on your situation, a Spanish bank account may also be practical or necessary.
We guide you through the steps applicable to your purchase.
After completion of the checks and preparations, the transfer takes place at the notary. After signing and payment, you will receive the keys to your new home.
Even after the transfer, there may still be a lot to be arranged. Consider:
CasaLasDunas remains your point of contact even after the purchase.
