What is on this page?

Every home for sale in Altea with an asking price of 400,000 EUR or less appears here, whatever the area or type. In practice that means flats in the town itself, apartments in complexes with a shared pool and the odd village house that needs work. The filter runs on each day's asking prices, so the list shifts with price cuts and sales.

How do you stretch a budget of up to 400,000 EUR in Altea?

Work from the total cost of buying. Add the taxes and fees set out in our guide to buying costs in the Valencia region, and keep a reserve for renovation if the home needs it. Then decide what you are willing to give up: floor space, a sea view, a lift or a short walk to the beach. Buyers who take on a renovation get more space for the same money.

What should you check before making an offer in this range?

  • The community minutes and any approved or planned special levies.
  • The condition of the plumbing and wiring, which in older blocks often needs renewing.
  • The energy certificate and what it says about insulation and windows.
  • Your finance. If you do not live in Spain, read mortgages for non-residents before you start searching in earnest.

The slips that cost buyers most in this price band are covered in mistakes buyers make on the Costa Blanca.

Frequently asked questions

What can you buy in Altea for under 400,000 EUR?

Mainly flats and apartments in the town and in complexes with a shared pool, plus the occasional townhouse or village house that needs renovating. Detached villas with a plot rarely fall below this limit. The listing on this page shows what is available today, with the price, size and condition of each home.

How much money do you need on top of the purchase price?

You need to cover the purchase tax, notary, land registry and agency or lawyer fees, plus whatever part of the price the bank will not lend. The tax depends on whether the home is a resale or a new build. Current rates and a worked example are in our guide to purchase taxes and costs in the Valencia region.

Can you get a Spanish mortgage as a non-resident?

Yes. Spanish banks lend to non-residents, although they usually finance a smaller share of the value than for a resident and ask for more proof of income. Our guide to mortgages for non-residents explains the process and the documents worth gathering before you start viewing.

What should you check on a cheaper flat in an older block?

Ask for the minutes of recent owners' meetings to spot approved special levies, a certificate showing no debts to the community, and the energy certificate. Ask about the facade, roof and drainpipes, and whether the building has its Informe de Evaluación del Edificio. A cheap flat with a large levy on the way soon stops being cheap.
