Questions fréquentes
What are the purchase costs on top of the asking price?
As this is a new-build property, VAT (IVA) applies at 10% rather than transfer tax (ITP). On EUR 380,000 that amounts to EUR 38,000. You should also budget for notary fees (approximately EUR 600–1,200), Land Registry fees (approximately EUR 400–800), and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT, which works out at roughly EUR 4,560 including VAT. Total purchase costs are typically 12–14% on top of the sale price.
Can I get a Spanish mortgage on this property?
Yes. Non-resident buyers can typically obtain a mortgage on a Spanish property, though lenders generally require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. On EUR 380,000 that means you would need between EUR 114,000 and EUR 152,000 available as equity. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5% annually, though you should obtain independent financial advice and compare offers from multiple lenders.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently listed at EUR 0. Buyers should confirm with the developer whether a fee will apply once the community is formally established. IBI (local council tax) and basura (refuse collection) figures are not yet available and should be requested directly from the agent or confirmed with Benahavis town hall once the property is registered.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. OceanHome offers video viewings for buyers who are unable to visit in person. A member of our team can walk through the property on a live video call, or we can arrange a recorded video tour. Contact us to schedule a time that suits you. In-person viewings can be arranged directly once you are ready to visit.
Does this property have rental potential?
Benahavis municipality sits within the Costa del Sol tourist zone, and properties in the area can be licensed for short-term holiday lets under Andalusia's regional rental regulations. Demand is driven by proximity to Marbella, the beach, and several golf courses. You should consult a local lawyer regarding the tourist licence application process and check any community rules that may restrict short-term letting before purchase.
What does the purchase process involve?
The first step is to obtain a Spanish NIE (foreigner identification number), which is required for all property transactions in Spain. Once you agree to proceed, you pay a reservation fee to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point typically 10% of the purchase price is paid. The balance is settled at the notary on the completion date, when ownership is formally transferred and the title deed (escritura) is signed. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to represent your interests throughout.
