Apartment in Pueblo de la Paz, Cumbre del Sol, Costa Blanca North

If you are looking for a manageable, furnished apartment in Cumbre del Sol for holidays or for year-round living, this one deserves a closer look. It is a first-floor home with its own outside staircase, a sunny terrace and a large lagoon-style community pool close by.

PROPERTY OVERVIEW AND VIEW ANALYSIS

This one-bedroom apartment in Pueblo de la Paz sits in Cumbre del Sol, between Jávea and Moraira. It is an easy, low-maintenance base on Costa Blanca North if you want to buy property for holidays or to live here all year.

The home is a resale property built in 2000, in good condition and sold furnished. It is on an upper floor, reached by a private outside staircase and a covered entrance porch.

The orientation is south-east, so the terrace catches the sun in the first half of the day. The outlook is urban, open towards the Pueblo de la Paz development.

The surfaces are stated exactly as recorded. The home has 43 m2 of interior living area, 8.45 m2 of terrace and 3.4 m2 of covered terrace. The official built area is 57.85 m2 and includes 3 m2 of communal area. That communal figure is the home's share of the development's residential common areas, and it is not private space inside the home.

INTERNAL DISTRIBUTION AND LIVEABILITY

This apartment suits a single person or a couple, whether as a second residence or as a home to live in all year. It is laid out on a single upper floor.

1. Open living-dining room, bright, with a sliding window leading straight onto the terrace, double glazing and Mallorcan-style shutters.
2. American-style kitchen with granite worktop, fitted wall and base units, Schneider fridge-freezer, Fagor multifunction oven, ceramic hob, Cata extractor hood, microwave and an integrated Corberó dishwasher.

5. One full bathroom with a shower tray and sliding corner screen, a vanity unit with mirror and overhead lighting, a toilet and ventilation.

The terrace is the natural extension of the living room. It has a ceramic outdoor floor, a retractable awning and a wrought-iron perimeter railing. Its 8.45 m2 leave room to sit out and eat in the sun, with the 3.4 m2 of covered terrace alongside.

The living room is air-conditioned by a split unit, a hot and cold heat pump. The air conditioning covers the living room only.

The pool is close at hand. The residential complex has a large lagoon-style community pool, surrounded by lawn and a sunbathing area, and it is the heart of life in the development.

LOCATION AND NEIGHBOURHOOD REALITY

Pueblo de la Paz is a residential development of apartments in Cumbre del Sol, in the wider Fresnos area, bordering the Granadella Natural Park. The ground is practically level, since the development sits on a platform, which makes walking to the commercial centre perfectly practicable.

The distances below are by road:

1. CC Adelfas, 1 km: restaurants, a pharmacy and the supermarket, an easy walk
2. Cala del Moraig, 1.7 km
3. International school, 2.3 km
4. CC Lirios, 3.8 km
5. Mas y Mas supermarket, outside the urbanisation, 4 km
6. Benitachell town centre, 4.5 km
7. Cala Llebeig, 5.9 km
8. Golf course, 6.3 km
9. Moraira, 9.9 km, and the yacht club, 9.9 km
10. Jávea, 12.5 km
11. Hospital, 22.2 km
12. Alicante airport, 97 km

Tennis and padel courts are very close to the development, and the coves of Cumbre del Sol are also nearby. Daily life is well served by the Adelfas centre. For the coves, the sports facilities and the neighbouring towns of Jávea and Moraira, you will want a car, and the distances above show why.

Parking is plentiful throughout Cumbre del Sol, and the streets around the development offer free, unrestricted on-street parking.

ACQUISITION COSTS AND LEGAL GUARANTEES

Knowing your costs from the start is part of buying with peace of mind. For a resale property in the Valencian Community, the framework for 2026 is clear.

The main tax is the Property Transfer Tax (ITP), and its rate is not marginal. It is 9% when the total purchase value is up to 1,000,000 euros, applied to the total. Above that threshold, 11% applies to the entire purchase price from the first euro, not only to the excess.

On top of the tax, budget roughly 2-3% for notary fees, land registry inscription and independent legal representation. Notary and registry fees are regressive, so on higher-value homes this share sits towards the lower end of that range. Overall, the total costs of a resale home usually fall in the region of 11-14% above the agreed price, depending on the value bracket.

Your independent lawyer itemises the exact figure against the agreed price, with no hidden charges. Alongside the lawyer, the management team works as a registered agent (RAICV). That means mandatory civil liability insurance and a surety bond securing any deposits or client funds held during the transaction.

COMMON QUESTIONS FROM INTERNATIONAL BUYERS

What does the built area of this apartment include?

The official built area of this apartment in Cumbre del Sol is 57.85 m2, and it is the total of every surface recorded except the plot. It includes the 3 m2 of communal area, which is the home's share of the development's shared spaces and not private space inside the home. The covered terrace is counted separately from the terrace, so the two are added together.

What do I need to buy a resale property in Spain as a foreign buyer?

Any non-Spanish buyer of a resale property in Cumbre del Sol needs a NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero). This is the tax identification number required for signing the public deed, registering the property, opening a Spanish bank account and setting up utilities. You can obtain it through a Spanish consulate abroad, at a designated police station in Spain, or through a legal representative with a power of attorney. An independent lawyer then carries out the legal checks before any funds are released. These include the land registry status, community fees and property tax (IBI) being up to date, and compliance with local planning rules.

How much extra should I budget on top of the purchase price?

Buyers of a resale property here should budget the ITP, at 9% on the total when the purchase value is up to 1,000,000 euros, or 11% on the entire price from the first euro when it exceeds that threshold. On top of that, allow roughly 2-3% for notary, registry and legal fees. In total, that usually comes to around 11-14% above the agreed price. Your independent lawyer confirms the exact figure against the price you agree.
