Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the asking price?
As this is a new-build property in Andalusia, IVA (VAT) of 10% applies instead of transfer tax (ITP), adding EUR 52,500 to the purchase price of EUR 525,000. Additional costs include notary fees of EUR 600 to 1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400 to 800, and legal fees of approximately 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (around EUR 5,250 before VAT). Total acquisition costs typically add 12 to 14% on top of the asking price.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Non-resident buyers can generally obtain a Spanish mortgage, though lenders typically require a deposit of 30 to 40% of the purchase price. On EUR 525,000, that means having EUR 157,500 to EUR 210,000 available as a deposit. Current variable and fixed rates with Spanish lenders are broadly in the range of 3.5 to 4.5%. We can refer you to independent mortgage brokers with experience in cross-border purchases.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently listed as EUR 0 per month. Buyers should verify the confirmed figure with the developer before signing any contract, as this is a new-build development and the fee structure may not yet be finalised. IBI (annual property tax) has not yet been assessed for this property. Utility connections and basura (refuse) charges will also apply once the property is occupied.
Is it possible to view the property remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who cannot travel to the Costa del Sol immediately. These can be conducted live via video call, giving you the opportunity to ask questions in real time. We can also arrange an in-person viewing at a time that suits you, including weekends.
Does this property have rental potential?
La Quinta and the wider Benahavis area attract consistent demand from both short-term holiday visitors and longer-term renters, particularly given the proximity to several golf courses and the coast. New-build apartments in this area can be suitable for tourist rental licensing in Andalusia, though the licence application process and any community restrictions should be checked before purchase. We recommend speaking to a local lawyer regarding rental regulations.
What does the purchase process involve?
The first step is obtaining a Spanish NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is required for any property transaction in Spain. Once you have agreed to proceed, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (contrato de arras or contrato privado de compraventa), at which point typically 10% of the price is paid. The final balance is paid at the notary on the completion date, when the deeds (escritura) are signed and ownership is formally transferred.
