Yes, provided the legal protections are actually in place. Under Ley 38/1999 as amended by Ley 20/2015, every euro you pay before handover must be covered by a bank guarantee (aval bancario) or an insurance policy naming you personally, held in a separate account. If the home is not delivered, you reclaim the money plus legal interest. Ask for the guarantee documentation in writing before you transfer any stage payment, and appoint an independent Spanish lawyer of your own choosing.

The working date is 2027, and it is not yet contractual, which is why this page says "to be confirmed" rather than printing a month. What is on record: the building licence was granted by Torrevieja town hall on 27 March 2026, the start of works was authorised on 22 May 2026, and the ground-floor slab was poured at the end of July 2026. The licence allows 24 months for the works. The purchase contract will state the delivery date and the remedies if it is missed; read that clause before you sign.

The contract sets the delivery date and what you are owed if it is missed, and the bank guarantee covers your stage payments if the building is not completed. Timelines on off-plan projects do move, and it is better to say so than to leave it out. Before you sign, read exactly what the contract says about delay, what grace period applies and what compensation is due. We will go through that clause with you rather than leaving it to the signing appointment.

Prices run from €225,000 to €399,500, excluding tax. The one-bedroom ground-floor apartment, unit 02, is €225,000. The two-bedroom apartments on floors two to four are €305,000 to €330,000 — the price rises €10,000 a floor, and the Type C plan is €5,000 more than Type D on each floor. The penthouses are €395,500 and €399,500. Every home and its price is in the price list above. Add roughly 13% for taxes and purchase costs.

Budget about 13%, and here is the arithmetic on a €310,000 home. IVA at 10% is €31,000. AJD stamp duty at 1.4% is €4,340. An independent lawyer at roughly 1% plus IVA is about €3,751. Notary is roughly €600–1,000 and the land registry roughly €400–700. That comes to €40,091–€40,791, or 12.9–13.2% on top of the price. Note the AJD rate: it was cut from 1.5% to 1.4% by Ley 5/2025 with effect from 1 June 2026, and many websites still quote the old figure.

A new build sold for the first time attracts IVA (VAT) at 10% plus AJD stamp duty at 1.4%. Transfer tax (ITP) applies to resale property instead — in the Comunitat Valenciana the general rate is 9%. You pay one or the other, never both.

A reservation takes the home off the market, stage payments follow during construction, and the balance is paid at the notary on handover — that is the standard Spanish off-plan structure. The exact reservation amount and the split for Rodas Playa are set out in the reservation contract rather than on this page, because they are the terms you will actually sign. Ask us and we will send the current schedule before you commit to anything. Every stage payment must be bank-guaranteed, as the first answer above explains.

Yes, though on different terms. Non-residents are typically offered 60–70% loan-to-value against roughly 80% for residents, at somewhat higher rates and over shorter terms. Lenders will want your passport and NIE, proof of non-residence, payslips or accounts, tax returns and bank statements, often with a sworn translation. The mortgage is normally arranged to complete at handover, not at reservation. We can introduce you to brokers who place non-resident lending routinely.

Yes. The NIE (Número de Identidad de Extranjero) is a foreigner's tax identification number, and you cannot complete a purchase, pay the taxes or put utilities in your name without one. It can be obtained in Spain or through a Spanish consulate in your own country, and it is a straightforward process. Ask us and we will walk you through it.

The figure for Rodas Playa is not yet fixed, and we would rather leave it blank than guess; it will be published here as soon as the community is constituted. For context, a twelve-home building in Torrevieja with a lift, a pool, a gym and a sauna typically falls in the range of €90–180 a month per home. The share of common parts each home carries — 8.11 to 18.00 m² — is in the price list, and fees are usually divided in that proportion.

No. A tax of up to 100% on purchases by non-resident, non-EU buyers was announced in January 2025 and a bill was filed in May 2025. As of March 2026 it had never been debated in Congress, no version had been voted on, and the government's own January 2026 housing package left it out. Nothing extra is payable by a non-EU buyer today. It remains a live political topic, so we re-check it, and your lawyer should confirm the position when you sign.

No. Spain's investor residence permit — the Golden Visa — was abolished on 3 April 2025 by Ley Orgánica 1/2025, for property and every other investment route. Buying a home no longer gives a right to reside. Non-EU buyers who want to spend more than 90 days in any 180 need a visa: the non-lucrative visa is the usual route for retirees and requires proof of income of roughly €28,800 a year. That is a question for an immigration lawyer, and we can point you to one.

Possibly, but check before you buy, not after. Since 3 April 2025 a change to the Ley de Propiedad Horizontal means the community of owners must expressly approve holiday letting in the building, and a new building's community has not yet met. The Valencian tourist-rental rules were tightened by Decreto-ley 9/2024, and Torrevieja town hall has asked for its own inspection powers. Long-term letting is more straightforward. If rental income is central to your plans, tell us before you reserve.

Sunny Casas, an estate agency in Torrevieja, registered as agent number 5942 in the Registro de Agentes Inmobiliarios de la Comunitat Valenciana. Registration is the Valencian region's licensing scheme for estate agents, and the number can be checked against the public register. The office at Calle Patricio Zammit 1 is about a kilometre from the building. We work in English, Spanish, Dutch and Estonian, and the same licence details are in the footer of this page.

You are entitled to a snagging inspection before the handover deed. An independent surveyor walks the home and lists defects; those are normally put right within 15–30 days before you accept the keys. After handover you are covered by the LOE warranties — ten years structural, three years habitability, one year finishes. We recommend an independent snagging survey on every off-plan purchase, including this one.

An ático is a top-floor apartment set back from the street façade so that the setback becomes a private terrace. At Rodas Playa the two penthouses, units 11 and 12, are set back at 45 degrees as the planning rules require, which gives each a covered terrace of about 16 m² off the living room, plus a private solarium of 27.33 or 15.13 m² on the roof level above. The interiors are 57 m² usable, with two bedrooms, a bathroom and a separate WC.

Pre-installation means the ducts, drainage and electrical conduits for a ducted air-conditioning system are routed inside the walls and ceilings while the home is built, so that a machine can be fitted later without opening the plaster. The machine itself is not included in the price. A single Inverter A++ unit serving the whole home is listed as an optional extra at €2,500; ask us for the current quote before you commit.

No. The building has no garage and no allocated parking, and no third-party listing that says otherwise is right. The building licence records that a garage is not required on a plot of 254 m² with an 8.96 m frontage, and one bicycle space per home is provided instead. Parking is on the street and in the public car parks of the centre. It is a town-centre building; the trade-off is that the beach, the shops and the bus station are all on foot.

No. None of the twelve homes has a separate storage room, and the building has no basement. What each home does have is fitted wardrobes delivered with drawers, shelves and rails, a laundry cupboard in the two-bedroom plans, and a hall. It is a small point that rarely appears in listings and is worth knowing before you choose.

No. The kitchen is delivered with anthracite units, lacquered fronts and a Silestone-type worktop, but without appliances. An optional pack — fridge, induction hob, oven, microwave, extractor hood and dishwasher — is listed at €3,500, and an optional furniture pack at €7,500 for the one-bedroom homes and €10,000 for the two-bedroom homes. Both are extras, both are priced on the current price list, and neither is needed to complete the purchase.

Yes. One lift and a staircase serve every residential floor from the ground-floor lobby to the penthouses; the roof solarium is reached from the top landing. The building licence records the lift as a requirement for a building of twelve homes, and the two ground-floor apartments are step-free from the street.

Built area runs from 52.57 m² to 86.90 m² — the enclosed, roofed home measured to the outside of its walls, what a Spanish price list calls superficie construida. Usable area, measured inside the walls, is 42.65 to 69.38 m² indoors. The total in the table adds each home's share of the common parts, 8.11 to 18.00 m², and runs from 61.07 to 101.27 m². Balconies, terraces and solariums are listed separately, from nothing on unit 02 to 47.17 m² on penthouse 11.

The living room. In the two-bedroom plans the living-dining room and its balcony-terrace are on the street side, and the main bedroom with its second balcony is at the back, onto the interior courtyard of the block. The penthouse terraces face the street from behind the 45-degree setback. Bedrooms at the back, living at the front is the layout that makes a town-centre building quiet at night.

No certificate has been issued yet, so there is no letter on this page. The building licence lists the energy performance certificate as part of the execution project, which was approved in May 2026, and the sales sheets print "A+", which is not a class on the Spanish A–G scale. What the specification does include is 10 cm of façade insulation, Guardian Sun solar-control double glazing with motorised shutters, LED lighting throughout and aerothermal hot water. We will publish the class the day the certificate exists.

Yes — it is a city of over 110,000 registered residents, the third largest in Alicante province, not a holiday urbanisation. It has a public university hospital, a private hospital, health centres, a bus station with coaches to Alicante and Murcia, one of the largest weekly markets on the coast and a centre that trades through February. Just over half the residents were born abroad, so English is spoken everywhere, but the shops, bars and services do not close when the summer ends.

Playa del Cura is 340 m on foot, about five minutes — measured on the actual streets with three routing engines, from the building's door to the sand. Playa de los Locos is 1.2 km on foot; Playa del Acequión 2 km; Playa de los Náufragos 5.4 km by road. You will see "1 km to the sea" on some listings for this building; that is a portal template, and it is wrong.

Alicante-Elche (ALC) is about 45 km by road, roughly fifty-five minutes on the N-332 and the AP-7, which is toll-free on this stretch. Región de Murcia (RMU) at Corvera is about 60 km, roughly an hour. Both are road distances computed with three independent routing engines from the building; drive times are estimates and depend on traffic. Coaches to Alicante airport run from the bus station five minutes' walk away.

Hospital Universitario de Torrevieja, the public hospital, is 5.6 km and about thirteen minutes by road. Hospital Quirónsalud Torrevieja, private, is 4.8 km. The La Loma public health centre is a 910 m walk, a pharmacy is 290 m, and a 24-hour pharmacy is 570 m. A Spanish public health card, or the S1 form for EU and UK pensioners, gives access to the public system once you are registered as a resident.

It is a residential street two blocks from the beach, not the seafront strip, and the plan works with that. Bedrooms sit at the back of every two-bedroom home, onto the interior courtyard of the block; the living room takes the street. The windows are Guardian Sun 4/12/4+4 double glazing in thermally welded PVC frames with motorised shutters, and the drainage stacks are acoustically wrapped. Come in August and in February before you decide; we will show you both.

Ninety days in any rolling 180-day period, under the Schengen rules that have applied since Brexit. Owning property in Spain does not extend that in itself. If you want to stay longer you need a visa — the non-lucrative visa is the usual route for retirees. This is a question for an immigration lawyer, and we can point you to one.
