Questions fréquentes
What purchase taxes and costs apply to this apartment?
As a new-build property, IVA applies at 10% rather than ITP, totalling EUR 59,900 on the asking price of EUR 599,000. You should also budget for notary fees (approximately EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (EUR 400–800), and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT at 21%. Total acquisition costs typically add 12–14% to the purchase price.
Can I get a mortgage on this property as a non-resident?
Non-resident buyers can generally obtain a Spanish mortgage, though lenders typically require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. On EUR 599,000, that equates to a deposit of between EUR 179,700 and EUR 239,600. Current variable and fixed rates from Spanish lenders range broadly between 3.5% and 4.5%. We recommend speaking with an independent mortgage broker familiar with the Andalusian market.
What are the ongoing running costs for this property?
Community fees are currently listed as EUR 0; buyers must confirm the final figure with the developer before contracts are signed. Annual IBI (council tax) and basura (waste collection) charges have not yet been set by Fuengirola town hall and should be requested directly. As a new build, there may also be a sinking fund contribution once the community is established.
Can I arrange a viewing, including remotely?
Yes. In-person viewings of the development can be arranged through OceanHome at a time that suits you. If you are based outside Spain, we can also organise a live video viewing via WhatsApp or video call, walking you through the apartment and communal areas in real time. Contact us to book.
Does this apartment have rental potential?
El Higuerón and the wider Fuengirola coastline attract visitors throughout the year, given its proximity to Málaga Airport (20 minutes by car) and the beaches along the Costa del Sol. Owners wishing to let the property on a short-term or tourist basis must first register with the Junta de Andalucía to obtain a Vivienda con Fines Turísticos (VFT) licence. Demand for 3-bedroom apartments in this area can be strong in the summer months, but we do not quote yield figures without verified rental data for the specific building.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which can be obtained at a Spanish consulate in your country or in person at a police station in Spain. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation deposit (typically EUR 3,000–6,000) takes the property off the market. A private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa) follows, usually within 30 days, at which point a further deposit of around 10% is paid. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the balance is transferred and keys are handed over.
