Frequently Asked Questions

How close is Altea to Alicante airport?

Altea is approximately 60 km from Alicante-Elche airport (around 45 minutes by car via the AP-7 motorway). Valencia airport is about 130 km to the north. This accessibility makes Altea popular with international buyers who want easy travel connections.

What is the difference between Altea and Alfaz del Pi?

Altea and Alfaz del Pi (L’Alfas del Pi) are neighbouring municipalities. Both fall under the Registro de la Propiedad de Altea for property registration. However, local taxes (IBI, Plusvalía) and planning rules differ between the two town halls. Our due diligence covers whichever municipality your property is in.

Can I rent out my Altea property as a holiday let?

Holiday letting in the Comunidad Valenciana requires a tourist licence from the Generalitat. The property must meet certain standards and be registered. Rules on tourist licences have been tightening, and some communities restrict short-term letting. We advise checking the current regulations before purchasing a property for rental purposes.

What is the community fee situation in Altea Hills?

Altea Hills has its own community management with fees that cover security, maintenance of common areas, gardens, pools, and other facilities. Fees vary depending on the size and type of property. Our conveyancing service includes obtaining and reviewing the community accounts, statutes, and any outstanding debts before you purchase.
