Frequently Asked Questions
What are the total purchase costs on top of the asking price?
As this is a new build, IVA at 10% applies instead of transfer tax, which amounts to EUR 52,493 on the asking price of EUR 524,926. You should also budget EUR 600 to 1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400 to 800 for land registry fees, and approximately 1% of the purchase price plus VAT for legal representation. Total additional costs typically fall between EUR 58,000 and EUR 62,000.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish banks generally lend up to 60 to 70% of the purchase price to non-residents, meaning a deposit of 30 to 40% is required. On EUR 524,926, that deposit would be approximately EUR 157,000 to EUR 210,000. Variable and fixed mortgage rates currently range from around 3.5% to 4.5% depending on the lender and applicant profile.
What are the ongoing running costs?
No IBI or annual refuse charge figures are currently available from the developer for this property. Community fees are listed as EUR 0 at present, though the developer should confirm the final figure once the community of owners is established. We recommend asking your solicitor to obtain written confirmation of all recurring costs before exchanging contracts.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. OceanHome offers video viewings for buyers who are unable to travel to Manilva. We can conduct a live video walkthrough of the show apartment or available units, and provide detailed footage of the communal areas and surroundings. Contact us to schedule a time that suits you.
Is this property suitable for short-term or holiday letting?
Bahia de las Rocas is within the tourist zone of Manilva on the Costa del Sol, and properties in this area are regularly used for holiday rentals. The proximity to the coast, Puerto de la Duquesa marina, and Málaga Airport makes this penthouse a practical choice for rental use. You will need a tourist rental licence from the Junta de Andalucía before letting the property. Your solicitor can advise on the application process.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE number, which is required for all property transactions in Spain. Once you have identified the property, a reservation fee is paid to take it off the market, followed by a private purchase contract (arras) in which typically 10% of the purchase price is exchanged. The remaining balance is paid at the notary on the day of completion, when the title deed (escritura) is signed. The process from reservation to completion typically takes two to four months for new builds, though off-plan timelines can vary.
