Frequently Asked Questions

Are there special planning rules in Moraira?

Yes. The Teulada-Moraira municipality has specific urban planning rules (PGOU) that affect building permits, extensions, pools, and renovations. Many older properties were built under different regulations. Our due diligence includes a thorough check of planning compliance and any required certificates.

What is the deposit when buying in Moraira?

The standard deposit in an arras contract is 10% of the purchase price. This is paid when the private contract is signed. If the buyer withdraws, they forfeit the deposit. If the seller withdraws, they must return double the deposit amount.

Can I get a mortgage to buy in Moraira?

Yes. Spanish banks offer mortgages to non-residents, typically lending up to 60-70% of the property value or purchase price (whichever is lower). We can recommend trusted mortgage brokers who specialise in expat lending on the Costa Blanca.

What is the 3% retention when selling as a non-resident?

When a non-resident sells property in Spain, the buyer must retain 3% of the purchase price and pay it to the Tax Agency as an advance on the seller’s capital gains tax. The seller can reclaim any overpayment by filing a tax return within 3 months of the sale.
