Questions fréquentes
What are the estimated purchase costs on top of the asking price?
As a new-build property in Andalusia, you pay IVA at 10% rather than transfer tax, which equates to EUR 44,900 on this price. Additional costs typically include notary fees (EUR 600-1,200), land registry fees (EUR 400-800) and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (approximately EUR 4,490 plus VAT). Budget for a total of roughly EUR 50,000-52,000 in purchase costs on top of EUR 449,000.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish banks generally lend up to 60-70% of the purchase price to non-residents, meaning a deposit of 30-40% is typically required. On EUR 449,000 that represents EUR 134,700-179,600 upfront. Variable and fixed rates currently range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%. A mortgage broker with experience in Spanish non-resident lending can help compare lenders.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently listed as zero; buyers should verify whether charges will apply once the development is handed over and the owners' community is established. The annual IBI (local property tax) has not yet been assessed for this property. Basura (refuse collection) charges have also not been confirmed. We recommend asking the agent for the latest figures before exchange.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who are not currently in Spain. You can request a live walkthrough with one of our agents at a time that suits you. In-person viewings can be arranged with advance notice.
Is this property suitable as a rental investment?
El Higuerón is within the Fuengirola municipality, which is an established tourist area on the Costa del Sol with demand from both short-term holiday visitors and longer-term renters. Properties in this area can be licensed for tourist rental, subject to obtaining the relevant Junta de Andalucía tourist licence. We recommend taking independent legal advice on licensing requirements and rental regulations before purchasing with this purpose in mind.
How does the purchase process work in Spain?
First, you will need an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), the tax identification number required for all property transactions in Spain. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation contract is signed and a deposit (typically EUR 3,000-6,000) is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point around 10% of the price is usually paid. The sale completes before a notary, at which point the balance is transferred and the title deeds (escritura) are signed.
