description

Perched on the top floor of Block B in Novamar Suites II, this southwest-facing penthouse delivers panoramic Mediterranean views, a 95 m² wraparound terrace, and a luxury finish specification rarely found at resale in Cumbre del Sol. If you are looking to buy property on the northern Costa Blanca North with the feel of a private residence and the convenience of a gated complex, this is a home worth understanding in full. PROPERTY OVERVIEW AND VIEW ANALYSISThis apartment occupies the top floor of a low-rise gated complex in Novamar Suites II, Cumbre del Sol, on the northern Costa Blanca North between Jávea and Moraira, and it opens to open sea views that reach across the Mediterranean from its southwest orientation. The outlook is panoramic and frontal — the kind you can only verify in person, and the kind that, in a mature development from 2017, comes with the certainty of knowing exactly what you are buying. The official built area registered for this property is 291 m², which is the total of the following surfaces: 133 m² of interior living area, 95 m² of terrace, and 63 m² of communal area. Those 63 m² represent this home's proportional share of the development's shared residential spaces — circulation, stairwells and communal facilities — and they are already counted within the 291 m² figure, not additional to it. The southwest orientation brings the afternoon and evening light directly into the living spaces and onto the main terrace, and the sea exposure recorded for the complex is frontal. INTERNAL DISTRIBUTION AND LIVEABILITYLiving here works equally well as a permanent home or as a base for extended seasons: the layout is generous, private and easy to manage, with every key space flowing naturally from the central living area outward to the terrace and the views. The apartment is on the first floor above ground (Planta +1) and the distribution is as follows: if the total value exceeds that threshold, a flat rate of 11% applies to the entire amount from the first euro — it is not a marginal rate, and it is not applied only to the excess. On top of the ITP, buyers should budget approximately 2–3% of the purchase price to cover notary fees, land registry inscription and independent legal representation; on higher-value transactions, this share typically sits at the lower end of that range. An independent lawyer is not a formality here — it is a practical necessity. Before any funds move, the lawyer verifies the land registry status of the property, confirms it is free of outstanding debts, checks that community fees and property tax (IBI) are paid up to date, and ensures the building complies with current planning regulations. The lawyer then itemises every cost against the agreed price, so there are no surprises at the notary. The registered agent (RAICV) handling this transaction is legally required to maintain professional civil liability insurance and a permanent surety bond, protecting any deposits or client funds held during the process. These are not optional safeguards — they are statutory obligations for registered agents in the Valencian Community. COMMON QUESTIONS FROM INTERNATIONAL BUYERSIs buying a resale apartment in Cumbre del Sol a sound choice compared with buying off-plan? A resale property in Cumbre del Sol lets you see the exact views, the real orientation, the actual condition and the established community costs before you commit — there are no off-plan uncertainties. The development was completed in 2017 and its structural history and running costs are already known, which gives a buyer a clear, evidence-based picture from the first visit. As a non-Spanish buyer, what is the NIE and why does it matter for this purchase? The NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) is the tax identification number that every non-Spanish citizen must hold in order to sign a Spanish title deed, register a property, open a Spanish bank account or contract utilities. It is obtained through a Spanish consulate abroad, at a designated police station in Spain, or through a legal representative acting under a power of attorney. Your independent lawyer will guide you through this as part of the purchase process. What acquisition costs should I budget for, beyond the agreed price? For this resale property in the Valencian Community, the main tax is ITP. In 2026, a flat rate of 9% applies when the total purchase value does not exceed 1,000,000 euros; if the total value exceeds that threshold, the rate rises to 11% on the entire amount from the first euro. Notary fees, land registry inscription and independent legal fees add approximately 2–3% further, typically at the lower end of that range on higher-value homes. Your independent lawyer will provide an exact breakdown against the agreed price, with no hidden costs. Is the property sold furnished? This penthouse is sold unfurnished. The built-in kitchen appliances are included in the sale; all other furniture and movable items are excluded. This gives you a complete blank canvas to personalise the interior from day one, within a shell that is already finished to a luxury specification.
