Vicens Ash Real Estate
Javea: A lifetime of knowledge

Costa Blanca North, particularly around Javea and Moraira, offers a more rugged, green coastline with strict building regulations that prevent high-rise overdevelopment. It retains its authentic Spanish charm, features microclimates rated among the healthiest in the world, and attracts buyers looking for high-quality, long-term property investments.

International buyers need a NIE (Número de Identidad de Extranjero), which acts as your tax identification number, and a Spanish bank account. While the process is straightforward, Vicens Ash strongly advises working with an independent local lawyer to manage the due diligence, land registry checks, and habitability certificates.

On the Costa Blanca North, you should budget approximately 12% to 13% on top of the purchase price. This includes the Property Transfer Tax (ITP) at 10% for resale properties (or 10% VAT + 1.5% AJD stamp duty for new builds), plus notary, land registry, and legal fees.

While immigration rules and golden visa pathways are subject to changes by national updates, Spain offers distinct options like the Digital Nomad Visa and Non-Lucrative Visa. The team at Vicens Ash routinely collaborates with specialized local legal and fiscal advisors to ensure international clients navigate the safest residency options available.

From the moment your offer is accepted and the reservation contract is signed, a standard transaction takes between 4 to 8 weeks. This timeline ensures your legal representative has sufficient time to complete property registry verifications and arrange the final signing before a notary.

With over 31 years of history in Javea, Vicens Ash provides deep local knowledge, direct access to off-market properties, and an intimate understanding of local coastal and town planning regulations. We offer pressure-free, multi-lingual support, ensuring international buyers navigate the Spanish buying process with absolute transparency.
