Nestled in Alicante, property HQL-255EF represents a measured opportunity: a 2025-built penthouse with 2 bedrooms, one bathroom and 87 sqm of internal living space opening onto 110 sqm of private terraces with sea views. Priced at EUR 359,000, it is a compact, new‑construction asset that illustrates how local sourcing and precise positioning by an agency can matter to international buyers.

Discovering the penthouse: layout, finishes and outdoor space

The property’s plan is intentionally simple: an open living area with floor‑to‑ceiling glazing that optimises daylight and views, two bedrooms that target dual‑occupancy or short‑let demand, and a single well‑specified bathroom. The images capture the key investment attributes — honest finishes, minimal maintenance surfaces, and large outdoor terraces that materially increase usable square metre yield when compared with internal area alone.

From an investor’s perspective, terrace area is not decorative: 110 sqm of private outdoor space supports higher short‑term rental rates in Alicante’s market and creates flexible living configurations for long‑stay tenants. As shown in the photos, the terraces provide multiple zones for dining, relaxation and planting, which increases seasonal rental occupancy without expensive fit‑outs.

Key features that drive income and occupier appeal

• New construction (2025) — lower immediate capex for structural repairs
• Sea view and significant terrace area — premium seasonal rates and differentiation in listings
• Shared amenities: swimming pool and landscaped garden — useful for year‑round rental positioning
• Furnished, air conditioning and lift — shortens time‑to‑first‑let and reduces pre‑letting expenses

How Vision Villas positions this listing for international buyers

Vision Villas operates from Jávea and specialises across luxury, investment and holiday‑home markets. Their ten years on the Costa Blanca produce a repeatable playbook: source recent construction that minimises near‑term capex, price below local aspirational stock to protect yield, and present factual comparatives that international investors can model. This penthouse demonstrates that approach — a new build with sizeable terraces priced at EUR 359,000 that targets both holiday and year‑round rental segments.

In practice Vision Villas adds three concrete layers of value for buyers: local market calibration (matching seasonal demand curves to unit specification), compliance and documentation support for non‑resident purchasers, and a managed marketing funnel that emphasises measurable KPIs (enquiry‑to‑view ratios, projected gross yield and comparable rate cards). Their published rating (81.61/100) and a decade of operation are visible trust signals that matter when cross‑border legal and tax steps are involved.

Alicante context: demand drivers and risk considerations

Alicante combines reliably steady year‑round demand with a pronounced summer peak. For a small penthouse like this, the primary income drivers are short‑let seasonality and long‑stay expatriate renters seeking compact, furnished homes close to transport and services. The property’s proximity to beaches, Old Town amenities and improved transport links supports both holiday and multi‑month occupancy.

Risks to model: municipal tourist licensing rules (which vary by municipality), periodic supply of new holiday stock, and the taxation profile for non‑resident owners. Vision Villas flags these explicitly and provides comparative yield scenarios — conservative, base and upside — so buyers can sensibly stress‑test net returns after taxes, management fees and normalized vacancy.

Quick financial snapshot (illustrative)

Price: EUR 359,000. Useable analysis should compare price per internal sqm (~EUR 4,126/m2 for 87 sqm) and effective sqm including terraces when calculating rentable area for short‑let scenarios. A conservative gross yield for a furnished 2‑bed penthouse in Alicante might sit between 4%–6% depending on occupancy assumptions; net yield requires inputting local taxes, management (10–20%), and periodic maintenance.

Due diligence checklist Vision Villas recommends for buyers

• Confirm tourist‑licence status and any municipal caps on short‑lets
• Obtain community of owners (HOA) accounts to forecast service charges and pool maintenance
• Verify developer guarantees and warranties for new construction (structural, installations)
• Model net yield with local tax treatment for non‑residents and probable management fees

Why this penthouse matters as a case study

This unit encapsulates Vision Villas’s practical selection criteria: new‑build quality to limit capex, outdoor space that increases monetisable square metres, and amenity mix that supports consistent demand. The property images corroborate an uncluttered specification and realistic presentation — both essential when converting international enquiries into offers without inflated expectations.

For buyers, the lessons are straightforward: prioritise assets where physical features (terraces, sea view, pool) translate into clear rental premiums; insist on transparent operating cost data; and work with an agency that integrates local compliance, multilingual support and measurable marketing. Vision Villas demonstrates those capabilities in how they present this Alicante penthouse.

Next steps and contact posture

If this property matches your investment criteria, request Vision Villas’ standard deliverables before viewing: recent comparables, HOA accounts, developer warranties and a three‑scenario yield model.
