What Ciudad Quesada is
It is not a town in its own right but an urbanisation within the municipality of Rojales, first built in the 1980s. At its heart is La Marquesa, an 18-hole golf course set in a valley between low hills. Around it are villas and townhouses, and everything for day-to-day life: supermarkets, pharmacies, a medical centre, cafés and restaurants, and a water park.
People live here all year round, and many of the neighbours are from abroad. Next door is old Rojales on the River Segura, with its eighteenth-century bridge and the cave houses that are now artists' workshops.
Beaches and nature
The beaches of Guardamar and La Mata are around ten minutes away by car, and the La Mata and Torrevieja salt lagoons natural park is close by. You will need a car: the urbanisation is large and the sea is not on your doorstep.
Buying from the UK
Buying does not give you residency. Spain's golden visa for property investors was abolished in April 2025. Anyone can still buy without restriction, but without a visa a UK passport holder can stay up to 90 days in any 180.
Taxes — Valencian Community rates. New build: 10% VAT plus 1.4% stamp duty. Resale: 9% transfer tax up to €1,000,000, or 11% on the whole price above that. Notary, land registry and paperwork usually add 0.5–1% of the price.
NIE and a Spanish bank account. You need an NIE, the foreigner's identification number, and we handle it for you. For a new build you do not need a Spanish bank account: you can pay the developer from your UK account. For a resale property it is not a legal requirement, but in practice you will want one: the seller is paid at the notary with a banker's draft that only a Spanish bank can issue. Paying the seller from abroad is possible, but the money has to leave several days before completion — a risk for you as the buyer.
Mortgages. Spanish banks usually lend non-residents up to 70% of the valuation, against 80% for residents.
Off-plan. By law, every payment you make to the developer before completion must be covered by a bank guarantee. Check it before you sign.
