Property purchase costs in Spain?

5 years ago
My wife and I are retirees investigating a relocation to Spain in 2020 and with an exploratory trip for several months in early Spring. However, I would like to prepare the budgetary aspects of living there now and would appreciate any input you can give on the following cost of living items:

We may purchase a property (Alcante?) but I would like to have some indication of the costs involved.

What are the purchase taxes (Iva, etc) , if any. What are the realty agency fee levels, and the legal/registration costs and do these vary according to whether the property is old, or new?

Similarly, how much does it cost to own a property in the context of condominium and municipal charges. As a basis, what should one expect to pay for a property purchased at Euro 200,000?

Any information will be much appreciated. Please do not hesitate to PM me if you prefer to keep the details private.
