Property valuation service in Alicante and on the Costa Blanca — official property valuation
An official property valuation in Alicante is the technical valuation of the property carried out by a professional valuer in accordance with the regulations of the Bank of Spain (Order ECO/805/2003) and international valuation standards (IVS). The result is a certified report that is legally valid for six months with any Spanish bank, public body or court.
Gesvalt assesses all the standard types of residential property on the Alicante and Costa Blanca markets:
Flat and apartments in Alicante city and towns across the province.
Penthouses and duplex flats.
Chalets, villas and detached houses.
Second homes on the Costa Blanca (Northern and Southern Costa Blanca).
Properties in the planning stage or under construction.
Social housing (VPO).
A valuation can be requested for any purpose: a mortgage, a property sale, inheritance, divorce, refinancing or legal and tax proceedings, for both property owners residing in Spain and foreign property owners.
When do you need to have a property valued in Alicante?
The province of Alicante and the Costa Blanca are home to one of Europe’s largest second-home markets, with a high proportion of foreign owners. This situation creates a demand for official valuations that goes beyond the usual cases:
Mortgage application: Financial institutions require a valuation approved by the Bank of Spain in order to grant financing. This requirement also applies when the buyer is a foreign national and needs a Spanish mortgage.
Buying and selling a property: Finding out the true value of a property before selling or buying is a sensible decision that is particularly important in the Costa Blanca’s second-home market, where the strength of international demand can influence prices in certain areas.
Inheritance and succession: The valuation report is the technical document used to distribute assets and calculate Inheritance Tax. It is common amongst the heirs of deceased foreign property owners with assets in the province of Alicante.
Separation or divorce: Where a property is jointly owned, the official valuation serves as the objective basis for the division of assets, whether by mutual agreement or through legal proceedings.
Debt refinancing or consolidation: The current value of the property is a key factor in negotiating new terms with the bank.
Legal or tax matters: The certified report is an official document recognised by the Spanish Tax Agency, the Land Registry and the courts in Alicante.
Foreign property owners (Costa Blanca differential): Property owners of British, German, French or Nordic origin with a property in the province of Alicante may need the official report in Spanish in order to declare assets to the Spanish Tax Agency (AEAT), process an inheritance in Spain, sell to a buyer with a Spanish mortgage, or carry out any other procedure with Spanish authorities.
Are you a foreign property owner? We issue the official report in Spanish, which is accepted by banks, notaries and the Spanish tax authorities.
What is the process for a property valuation in Alicante? (7 steps)
The process is standardised and transparent, regardless of the neighbourhood or municipality within the province where the property is situated:
1. Request for a valuation
Via the online form or by telephone.
Details of the property (type, neighbourhood, floor area) and the purpose of the valuation are recorded.
2. Submission of documentation
Generally speaking, the following are required: the land registry extract, the descriptive and graphical cadastral information, and the energy performance certificate (EPC).
3. Acceptance of the quotation
Once the order has been confirmed, the processing of the file begins.
4. Visit by the valuation expert
A certified valuer will inspect the property within 24–48 hours of the quote being accepted.
5. Analysis and assessment
The valuer compares the property with similar ones in the same area and applies the established methods: market comparison, replacement cost and income capitalisation. The valuation may differ from the perceived market value, as it is governed by the technical criteria set out in Order ECO/805/2003.
6. Preparation of the report
The official report is drawn up in accordance with Order ECO/805/2003 and the requirements of the Bank of Spain. The report is always issued in Spanish.
7. Submission of the valuation
The approved report is delivered in digital format within 3 to 5 working days following the site visit and once all the documentation has been received in full.

Factors affecting property values in Alicante and on the Costa Blanca
The property market in the province of Alicante has its own distinctive features that set it apart from the rest of Spain. The valuation of a property varies significantly depending on the area:
- Alicante city centre. The neighbourhoods of Centro, Ensanche, San Blas, Carolinas Bajas and Playa de San Juan have different levels of demand and property values. Proximity to the sea and the city centre are key factors.
- Northern Costa Blanca. Towns such as Jávea (Xàbia), Altea, Calpe, Denia and Benidorm attract high demand for second homes, both from within Spain and abroad. Sea views and the quality of the residential developments carry significant weight in property valuations, something not seen in inland markets.
- Southern Costa Blanca. Torrevieja and Orihuela Costa are leading destinations for residential tourism, with a large number of European property owners. Valuation is heavily influenced by proximity to the coast and the standard of local amenities.
- Provincial interior Towns such as Elche, Villena and Alcoy have a more local residential property market, with property valuations lower than those on the coast but with stable demand.
Apart from the location, the technical factors that the valuer analyses for each property are:
Total and usable floor area: Primary factor determining the valuation.
Sea views and aspect: A distinguishing feature on the Costa Blanca with a direct impact on market value.
Condition and age: This is particularly relevant in the second-home market, where the state of maintenance varies considerably.
Building standards and recent refurbishments: Materials, facilities and energy efficiency.
Energy Performance Certificate (EPC): A regulatory factor with growing impact since Order ECM/599/2025.
International demand and second homes: The Costa Blanca is one of the areas in Europe with the highest concentration of foreign property owners, which has an impact on market values in certain coastal areas and on the valuer’s comparison methodology.
