Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for beyond 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% of the purchase price. ITP does not apply. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and legal fees at approximately 1% of the purchase price plus VAT. Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet this 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 can typically borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price from Spanish lenders, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Current variable and fixed rates in Spain broadly range from 3.5% to 4.5%, though individual offers vary by lender and applicant profile. We recommend obtaining a mortgage in principle before reserving.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently listed at zero; buyers should verify this figure with the developer prior to exchange, as service charges for new-build complexes are sometimes set after completion. The annual IBI (council tax) figure has not yet been confirmed for this development. Separately, a basura (refuse collection) charge may apply; this amount is also unconfirmed at present.
Can I view the apartment remotely before travelling?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who cannot travel immediately. A video call with one of our agents can be arranged at a time to suit you, covering the apartment, communal areas, and the surrounding development. In-person viewings can be scheduled once you are ready to visit.
Is this apartment suitable as a rental investment?
Benahavis and the wider Costa del Sol corridor attract consistent demand from both short-term holiday visitors and longer-term renters. New-build properties in the area are popular with buyers seeking a holiday let or a property to rent when not in personal use. Rental licensing requirements in Andalucía apply to tourist lets; we can point you to a specialist for current licensing rules and local demand data. We do not quote estimated yields as actual returns depend on occupancy, management costs, and seasonal variation.
What does the purchase process involve for overseas buyers?
The first step is obtaining a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which is required to sign any contract or open a Spanish bank account. Once you decide to proceed, a reservation agreement is signed and a holding deposit paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point typically 10% of the purchase price is paid. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, at which point the balance, taxes, and professional fees are settled and title transfers to the buyer.
