The area is known for its beach access and relaxed pace, with a local supermarket, bars, and restaurants within easy reach on the seafront paseo.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the purchase costs on top of the asking price?
As a new build in Andalucía, this purchase carries IVA (VAT) at 10% of the purchase price plus AJD stamp duty at 1.2%, set by the Autonomous Community of Andalucía. ITP does not apply to new-build transactions. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT. Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet the region's conditions — for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — and it is worth checking before you budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers in Spain typically need to provide a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price, as Spanish lenders generally finance up to 60–70% of the property value for non-residents. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though individual offers vary by lender and applicant profile. We can refer you to an independent mortgage broker who specialises in Spanish property finance.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently listed at zero; please confirm this with the developer before completion. IBI (annual council tax) has not yet been assessed for this new-build property and will be set by Algarrobo town hall once the property is registered. Basura (refuse collection) charges have not yet been provided. We recommend requesting a full cost schedule from the developer as part of your legal due diligence.
Can I arrange a viewing?
Yes. In-person viewings can be arranged through our office. If you are based outside Spain, we also offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call, giving you a live walkthrough of the apartment and the development before you travel. Contact us to book a time that suits you.
Is this apartment suitable for holiday rental?
Playa Mezquitilla's coastal location on the Axarquía coast supports demand for short-term holiday lettings, particularly during the summer season. Algarrobo is within the Málaga province rental licensing framework, so a tourist licence will be required before letting the property. We recommend consulting a local property manager for realistic occupancy and income estimates based on current market conditions.
What does the purchase process involve?
The first practical step is obtaining a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which you will need for all property transactions and utility contracts. Once you have identified the property, a reservation agreement is signed and a holding deposit paid to take it off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa) where a further payment is made, typically 10% of the purchase price. The transaction completes before a Spanish notary, at which point the balance is paid and keys are handed over. We strongly recommend appointing an independent solicitor to carry out title searches and review all developer documentation before you commit.
