Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for beyond the EUR 790,000 asking price?
Because this is a new-build property, VAT (IVA) at 10% applies rather than transfer tax, adding EUR 79,000. You should also allow EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for land registry fees, and approximately 1% plus VAT (around EUR 9,500) for independent legal advice. Total acquisition costs are typically 12–13% on top of the purchase price.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish lenders typically offer non-residents up to 60–70% loan-to-value, meaning a deposit of 30–40% of the EUR 790,000 purchase price (EUR 237,000–316,000) would be required. Current variable and fixed rates are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though terms vary by lender and applicant profile.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently listed as EUR 0 per year; please verify this figure with the developer before exchanging contracts. IBI (council tax) and basura (refuse collection) figures are not yet available and should be confirmed with the local town hall in Benahavis once the property is registered.
Is it possible to view the property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. OceanHome can arrange a live video viewing at a time that suits you, allowing you to walk through the apartment and ask questions in real time. An in-person visit to the development in Benahavis can be organised once you are ready to travel.
Does this property have rental potential?
Benahavis and the surrounding Costa del Sol area attract consistent visitor demand throughout the year, with golf tourism adding to the off-season market. A tourist rental licence would need to be obtained from the Junta de Andalucía before letting the property short-term. Your solicitor can advise on the application process and any community restrictions.
How does the purchase process work in Spain?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once you have agreed the price, a reservation fee (typically EUR 6,000 to 10,000) secures the property and removes it from the market. A private purchase contract (arras) is then signed, at which point 10% of the purchase price is usually paid. The sale is completed before a Spanish notary, at which point the remaining balance and all taxes are settled and the title deed (escritura) is signed.
