Property in Cumbre del Sol a Benitatxell address
The big clifftop urbanisation next door to Moraira. Legally it belongs to another municipality, with its own town hall, its own planning file and its own decisions. We act for buyers there, and we never blur the two towns.

So, the honest thing first. Cumbre del Sol is not in Moraira, and it is not in Teulada-Moraira. It sits in the municipality of El Poble Nou de Benitatxell, which has its own town hall and its own rules. Agents list it as Moraira because Moraira is where you shop, eat and park the car. The paperwork does not care about that.
Why that matters to you: the file that says what your house is allowed to be sits in Benitatxell. So when a seller tells you the town hall permits something here, the first question is which town hall, and the second is where that is written down.
We handle Cumbre del Sol purchases from the office in Moraira village, Calle del Dr. Calatayud 39, a short drive down the hill. Juan Antonio Bertomeu Valles, abogado, ICALI 4643, has been practising since 1991. Daniel Bertomeu, tax adviser (AEDAF 06838, APAFCV 3080), takes the tax side. 4.9 from 104 Google reviews across the Moraira and Denia offices.
Who buys in Cumbre del Sol
The buyers who reach us about Cumbre del Sol are much the same mix that walks into the Moraira office: British and German mostly, with Dutch, Belgian and Nordic owners alongside them. Some retiring, some working remotely, some buying a summer base they quietly hope to let out later. What they share is the scale of the place. This is a planned clifftop urbanisation, not an old village that grew, so you are buying into communal rules and communal services as much as into a house. Most arrive having only ever seen it on a Moraira agent's list.
What we actually check in Cumbre del Sol
A different town hall, a different file
Everything municipal about a Cumbre del Sol house is Benitatxell business: how the plot is classified, what licence the house was built under, which works were ever declared. We ask Benitatxell, in writing. An answer from the wrong town hall is worth nothing at the notary, however confidently it was given to you over a coffee.
Slopes, and the works nobody declared
The whole site is built on a hillside, and hillsides produce retaining walls, terraces, pool decks and rooms carved out underneath. That kind of work does not always have a licence behind it, and where there was one it was not always properly closed. So the Land Registry entry, the catastro plan and the house you walk around on viewing day can be three different houses. We compare all three. The second-occupation certificate counts too: the declaracion responsable under Decreto 12/2021 lasts ten years and has to be renewed on transmission or on a new utility contract. Without it, no water or electricity in your name.
The cliff, and the Coastal Law
Frontline here means clifftop. Under the Ley de Costas the protection strip runs 100 metres inland as a general rule, and 20 metres where the land was already urban in 1988, and the deslinde, the official boundary line, decides what a frontline property may become. Honestly, this one varies plot by plot. We confirm the recorded position for your exact address rather than guess at it.
The urbanisation has rules of its own
Then there is the community itself: its statutes, its budget, its arrears, its limits on what you may do with the house. If what you are buying is an apartment and letting is anywhere in your thinking, the community now gets a vote. Ley Organica 1/2025 added article 17.12 to the Ley de Propiedad Horizontal on 3 April 2025, and a new apartment let needs approval by a three fifths majority. We read the statutes and the minutes, not the sale particulars.
Holiday lets in Teulada-Moraira
Letting it out: what we can tell you, and what we will not
Here is where the boundary bites hardest. Teulada-Moraira has no tourist-licence moratorium and a new licence there is possible. That is real, and it is also the position of a municipality your Cumbre del Sol house does not belong to. We do not carry it across the boundary, and nor should the agent. What is fixed either side is the regional frame under Decreto-ley 9/2024, in force since 8 August 2024: a VUT is a whole dwelling let for ten days or fewer to the same guest, letting by the room is prohibited, the municipal urban compatibility report (ICU) is mandatory, registration lasts five years, and fines reach 600,000 euros. The national single register was annulled by the Supreme Court in STS 620/2026 of 19 May 2026, so the regional VUT registration is the live requirement. Benitatxell's own municipal position is the piece we check for the exact address before you rely on it. If a licence is available and you want it handled, the complete service is 549 euros plus VAT, or from 699 euros plus VAT where there are planning complications.
Tourist rental licences in Moraira: no moratorium here, and our fixed feeOwning in Cumbre del Sol, the tax side
Buying a resale means ITP at 9 percent of the price from 1 June 2026 under Ley 5/2025, rising to 11 percent on the part above 1,000,000 euros. Deeds signed before that date paid 10 percent. Buy new from a developer and it is 10 percent IVA plus 1.4 percent AJD instead (1.5 percent before 1 June 2026). Notary runs roughly 0.2 to 0.5 percent, Land Registry roughly 0.1 to 0.25 percent. If the seller is non-resident, you withhold 3 percent of the price and pay it over on Modelo 211 within a month of completion. That is your obligation, not theirs. Then ownership. The annual local bill is Benitatxell's, and how it reaches you is Benitatxell's arrangement to make: Teulada-Moraira delegates its local tax collection to SUMA, and for an address on the other side of the boundary we confirm the position rather than assume it matches. Alongside it sits Modelo 210: imputed income of 1.1 percent of the valor catastral where the value was revised in the last ten years, otherwise 2 percent, taxed at 19 percent for EU and EEA owners and 24 percent for everyone else, UK included. UK owners still pay 19 percent on a capital gain when they sell. For imputed income accrued from 2026 the window is 1 April to 31 December of the following year (Orden HAC/623/2026); for 2025 you have until 31 December 2026. We file from 70 euros plus VAT, plus 50 for each additional co-owner. On a large villa, note the Valencian wealth tax exempt minimum moved from 500,000 to 1,000,000 euros from 31 December 2025, with non-residents taxed on Spanish assets only.
