  • Cadastral and Land Registry information.

  • Legal restrictions affecting the property.

Additional checks may be necessary when purchasing an apartment in a residential development, a villa, a new-build home or a property intended for rental.

Buying Property in Orihuela Costa

When buying in a coastal residential area, it is particularly important to review the community documentation and confirm whether there are unpaid fees, approved special assessments or rules affecting the use of the property.

Buyers intending to rent the property should also verify that their proposed use is legally possible rather than relying solely on advertising or projected rental income.
