Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the EUR 4,000,000 asking price?
As a new-build property, this villa is subject to IVA at 10% (EUR 400,000) rather than the resale transfer tax. Additional costs include notary fees of approximately EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of approximately EUR 400–800, and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (approximately EUR 40,000 plus VAT). Total purchase costs typically add 12–14% to the price, so buyers should budget for approximately EUR 480,000–560,000 on top of the asking price.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers can obtain mortgages from Spanish banks, though lenders typically require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. On EUR 4,000,000, that means a deposit of EUR 1,200,000–1,600,000. Current variable and fixed rates are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though terms vary by lender and applicant profile. We recommend speaking to an independent mortgage broker familiar with the Spanish market.
What are the ongoing running costs for this villa?
There are no community fees listed for this property. IBI (Spanish council tax) has not yet been assessed for this new-build and will be calculated once the property is registered; the agent can provide an estimate based on comparable properties in Cortés. Refuse collection charges are also to be confirmed. Utility costs for a 6-bedroom villa of this size will be significant and depend on usage.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who are not yet in Spain, allowing you to see the property, ask questions in real time, and review the surrounding area. In-person viewings can be arranged on request. Contact us to schedule either option at a time that suits you.
Does this property have rental potential?
Benahavis and the wider Marbella area are established tourist zones, and large villas in this price bracket are regularly let on a short-term luxury basis. Rental licensing requirements apply in Andalusia; a tourist licence must be obtained before any paid letting activity. Achievable rental income depends on finish, location, marketing, and season. We recommend consulting a local property management company for realistic income projections specific to Cortés.
What does the purchase process involve for a buyer in Spain?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE number (tax identification number), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit paid (typically EUR 6,000–10,000) to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point around 10% of the purchase price is usually paid. The sale is then completed before a Spanish notary, at which point the remaining balance and all taxes and fees are settled. The title is subsequently registered at the land registry.
