Frequently Asked Questions
What are the total purchase costs for this apartment?
As a new-build, this apartment is subject to IVA at 10% rather than transfer tax (ITP). On a price of EUR 249,000 that adds EUR 24,900 in VAT. You should also budget for notary fees (approximately EUR 600 to 1,200), land registry fees (approximately EUR 400 to 800), and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT, so roughly EUR 2,739 including VAT. Total additional costs are typically around 13 to 15% of the purchase price.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish banks typically lend up to 60 to 70% of the purchase price to non-residents, meaning a deposit of 30 to 40% is usually required. On EUR 249,000 that equates to a deposit of approximately EUR 74,700 to EUR 99,600. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish lenders are broadly in the 3.5 to 4.5% range, though you should obtain formal quotes from lenders directly.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently listed at EUR 0 per month. Annual IBI (council tax) and basura (refuse) figures have not yet been confirmed by the developer and are not available at this stage. We recommend asking the agent for the latest information from the promoter before exchange.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. In addition to in-person viewings, we offer video viewings for buyers who are not currently in Spain. Contact us to arrange a scheduled video call with one of our agents at the development.
Is this apartment suitable as a rental investment?
Benahavis and the surrounding Costa del Sol corridor attract consistent demand from both short-term holiday renters and long-term tenants. To let the apartment on a short-term basis you will need a tourist rental licence from the Junta de Andalucía. We do not quote yield figures, but our agent can provide comparable rental data for the Cortés area on request.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is required for any property transaction in Spain. Once terms are agreed, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit paid, typically EUR 3,000 to 6,000, to take the property off the market. A private purchase contract (arras) follows, at which point usually 10% of the price is paid. The remaining balance is settled at the notary on completion, when ownership formally transfers to the buyer.
