Data for October 2026: the median asking rent and sale price index by Alicante district, October 2026, rent for a 50 m² apartment; the city row uses the average rent and asking price from the same index. Yield is gross, before tax, building costs and vacancy between tenants.
Since 13 January 2025 Alicante has had a moratorium on new tourist apartments: the city issues no permits for them, and a court has upheld the decision. That is why the yield in the list is calculated on long-term letting.
A non-resident from outside the European Union pays 24% of the rent, an EU citizen 19% after expenses. Rates and the tax on sale are on the page taxes in Spain.
What costs to add to the price of an apartment
The main payment is the Valencian Community property transfer tax: since 1 June 2026 it is 9% of the price on resale instead of the former 10%, and 11% for homes above $1,122,500 (1,000,000 euros). In a new building from a developer you pay 10% VAT and 1.4% stamp duty instead. The deposit under the deposit contract is 10% of the price and is part of the price.
| Payment | Apartment for $253,000 (224,500 euros) | Share of price |
|---|---|---|
| Valencian Community property transfer tax | $22,690 (20,210 euros) | 9% |
| Notary and registration in the property registry | $790-1,350 (700-1,200 euros) | 0.3-0.5% |
| Foreigner number and a Spanish bank account | needed before the deal | state fee and bank tariff |
| Total on top of the price | $23,470-24,030 (20,910-21,410 euros) | 9.4-9.6% |
Data for 2026: tax rates are set by Valencian Community Law 5/2025, notary and property registry fees by state tariffs. If a representative signs the deal, add a power of attorney with an apostille and a sworn translation. A manager will calculate the costs for a specific apartment.
In Alicante an apartment is checked before the deposit
A mistake costs more than the tax: a shop or office without a certificate of fitness for living is sold as an apartment, people live in it without a right to, it carries debts on property tax and building fees, or the city will not issue a tourist licence for it. A 10% deposit stays with the seller if you back out. Murblz support removes these risks: we choose the apartment, check the registry, cadastre, certificate and seller, arrange the foreigner number and account, and handle the deal at the notary up to registration of title together with locally licensed partners.
The cost of support depends on the budget and goal of the purchase; a manager will calculate it in the chat.
Does an apartment in Alicante give a residence permit
Buying an apartment does not give a residence permit in Spain: the programme with a $562,000 (500,000 euros) threshold was closed by Organic Law 1/2025, and new applications have not been accepted since 3 April 2025. A foreigner can buy an apartment without permits or restrictions by nationality, with a foreigner number and a Spanish bank account.
Your own home helps to get a residence permit without the right to work: it confirms the address and lowers the expenses counted in the review, while the basis is sufficient passive income. For remote work for foreign employers or clients there is the digital nomad visa. All routes are in the article how to get residency in Spain.
