Property Buyer’s Agent in Torrevieja
Costa Blanca South, Alicante province
Torrevieja's property market was built for non-resident buyers, and that cuts both ways. The transaction machinery is efficient and everyone involved knows it well — but the market is also full of purchases made quickly, at a distance, on the basis of a viewing trip and a persuasive afternoon.
The checks that matter most here are unglamorous: whether the property is legally what it is described as, whether the community of owners is solvent and what it has already voted to spend, and — for anyone planning to let — whether a tourist licence is actually obtainable for that specific unit. The last one catches people repeatedly, because it is presented as a formality and often is not one.

Questions about this service
I want to rent the property out to tourists. Is that automatic?
No. Tourist letting is a licensed activity with regional requirements, and separately the community of owners may have restricted or banned it in the building's statutes. Both need checking against the specific property before you commit, not after — a resale bought as a rental investment that cannot legally be let is a very expensive mistake.
I am buying from abroad and cannot attend the notary. What are my options?
A power of attorney, granted either in Spain or before a notary in your own country with an apostille and a sworn translation. It is entirely routine — but it must be drafted with the right powers for the specific transaction, and arranging it late is one of the most common causes of a delayed completion.
