About Hornillo, Águilas
Hornillo is a coastal district on the southern edge of Águilas in the Región de Murcia. The area centres on Playa del Hornillo, a sandy beach sheltered by the town's small harbour, and is largely residential in character with a mix of low-rise apartments and townhouses. Calle del Puerto runs along the waterfront and connects Hornillo to the wider town centre, approximately 1 kilometre to the north. The neighbourhood has a modest but established selection of local bars and restaurants, and the main commercial streets of Águilas are reachable on foot in under 20 minutes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs for this apartment?
As this is a new-build property, VAT (IVA) at 10% applies instead of transfer tax (ITP), amounting to EUR 26,700 on the asking price of EUR 267,000. You should also budget for notary fees of approximately EUR 600 to 1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400 to 800, and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT. Total acquisition costs typically come to 12 to 14% on top of the purchase price.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Yes. Spanish banks generally lend up to 60 to 70% of the purchase price to non-resident buyers, meaning a deposit of 30 to 40% is usually required. On EUR 267,000, that equates to a deposit of roughly EUR 80,100 to EUR 106,800. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain typically range from 3.5% to 4.5%, though your rate will depend on your financial profile and chosen lender.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are estimated at EUR 100 per month. The annual IBI (council tax) is estimated at EUR 370. Please note these figures are estimates and may vary once the development is completed and formally registered. You should also allow for utility connections and contents insurance.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who cannot travel to Águilas at short notice. Our agents can walk you through the show unit or the development site via a live video call and answer questions in real time. In-person viewings can be arranged by appointment.
Is this apartment suitable as a rental investment?
Águilas is a recognised tourist destination on the Costa Cálida, and Hornillo's proximity to the beach makes it attractive to summer visitors. Short-term holiday rentals are possible but require a regional tourist licence from the Región de Murcia. Demand for holiday lets in this area is concentrated in July and August, with shoulder-season occupancy varying. We recommend seeking independent rental management advice before purchasing for investment purposes.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which can be obtained at a local police station or through a Spanish consulate abroad. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point typically 10% of the price is paid. The sale is completed before a notary, at which point the remaining balance and all taxes and fees are settled. Using an independent Spanish solicitor throughout the process is strongly advisable.
