Buying a house in Alicante – Living in the beating heart of the Costa Blanca
Buying a home in Alicante means choosing a vibrant, diverse city on the Mediterranean Sea where Spanish life takes place outdoors. Situated on the Costa Blanca, Alicante combines the charm of a historic port city with modern amenities, culture and excellent accessibility via Alicante-Elche airport.
The city has a wonderful climate with over 300 sunny days a year and is therefore popular with both Spanish residents and international buyers looking for a holiday home, investment or permanent residence in Spain.

- Lively shopping streets, boutiques and the large El Corte Inglés
- A rich cultural life with theaters, museums and local festivals such as Las Hogueras de San Juan

Frequently asked questions about buying a house in Alicante
Can I buy a house without traveling to Spain myself?
Yes, you can! Can't travel in person (yet)? No problem. With a notarial power of attorney, we can arrange everything for you: from virtual viewings to the complete administrative process and the final handover of keys. You stay informed, we do the work.
Can I get a mortgage in Spain?
Absolutely. As a foreigner, you can usually finance up to 70% of the property's value with a mortgage in Spain. We're happy to connect you with reliable Spanish banks with experience working with Dutch and Belgian buyers. This way, you know exactly what to expect.
Do I need a lawyer for the purchase?
It's not mandatory, but we highly recommend it. A specialized lawyer will check the title deeds, permits, and legal status of the property, among other things. MedVilla works with Dutch-speaking legal experts who will safeguard your interests – hassle-free.
When is the best time to buy a property in Alicante?
The Alicante real estate market operates year-round, but autumn and winter often offer additional advantages. During these quieter periods, negotiating opportunities are higher, giving you more time to make a decision in peace. We're happy to advise you on the right time, depending on your needs.
