At Smart Properties we try to make your approach to the Spanish property market as smooth as possible. Our advice aims to cover all the needs you may have. If you are thinking about buying a home in the Urbanización La Marina area, take a look at our property catalogue. We are sure we have the one you are looking for.
At our estate agency we know that when making an investment as important as buying a home, you need to be clear about everything this involves. The costs, as you know, do not only include the price of the property, but also the mortgage payment (if there is one) and the costs generated by the purchase. Regarding the latter, below we explain what they are and what they consist of.
1. Public deed at the notary.
The public deed of sale certifies the change of ownership and, although it is not mandatory to complete a sale, it is highly advisable, as its effects are specifically regulated by law and, therefore, are more valid than the clauses included in the pre-contract. As it is regulated by law, all notaries in Spain charge the same for the same service, although they can offer a 10% discount.
2. Registration at the Land Registry.
The cost of registration at the Land Registry is not fixed and varies according to the value of the property, depending on its location and characteristics. The fees are approved by the Government, can be consulted in the Official State Gazette, and usually do not exceed 1%.
In the event that this registration is carried out by an administrative agency (gestoría), you will have to pay their fees. Unlike notaries, gestores’ fees are not fixed and, therefore, it is advisable to get well informed before hiring one.
3. Taxes.
These are various taxes levied on the purchase of homes. Here are the main ones:
– VAT: Only when it is a new build home and you buy directly from the developer. In this case, buyers have to pay 10% VAT on the purchase value.
4. Valuation costs
When applying for a mortgage, after the reservation contract or purchase contract, the bank needs to carry out a valuation of the property to know what price matches its value. The valuation has an approximate cost of between 100 and 400 euros, depending on the type of property and its square metres.
Those who value living near the sea without giving up day-to-day convenience often look at new Properties For Sale In La Marina Costa Blanca for one very specific reason: La Marina San Fulgencio combines a residential atmosphere, year-round services, and quick connections to key points in the south of Alicante. It does not feel isolated, and for many buyers that matters as much as being close to the beach.
One of the reasons why this area attracts both national and international clients is its balance between calm and practical living. You are just a few minutes from the beaches of La Marina and Guardamar del Segura, with easy access to the N-332 and the AP-7, and around 30 minutes from Alicante-Elche Airport, which is very useful if the home will be a second residence or if you receive visitors frequently.
Lifestyle also plays a role. Walking down to buy bread, having a coffee in the sun, and walking back home says a lot about an area. Can you live here comfortably all year round? Yes, because there are year-round services, an international community, and a commercial offering that supports a real routine, not just summer stays.
That is why, more than a one-off choice, this area often becomes a well-considered decision to live, invest, or enjoy long stays.
When looking into new Properties For Sale In La Marina Costa Blanca, the interesting thing is that not everyone is looking for the same thing, and that is part of the appeal. Some buyers prioritise apartments for sale in La Marina San Fulgencio for their easy maintenance, others prefer villas in La Marina San Fulgencio for privacy, and bungalows and townhouses also stand out for those who want outdoor space without taking on a large plot.
Property types strongly shape daily life. An apartment can work very well for holidays or investment, while a townhouse usually offers more independence and an easy transition into longer stays. A villa, on the other hand, is especially attractive for retirement or family living, particularly if you are looking for a private plot, better orientation, and your own outdoor space.
A well-designed terrace is not a minor detail. A home close to services means you can rely less on the car, and another close to golf or the sea completely changes how you use weekends and long seasons. That is the difference.
In that context, buying a house in La Marina San Fulgencio often depends less on the format and more on how you want to live the area every day.
