Frequently Asked Questions
What are the estimated purchase costs for this villa?
As a new build, this property is subject to IVA (VAT) at 10%, which on a purchase price of EUR 6,500,000 amounts to EUR 650,000. Additional costs include notary fees of approximately EUR 600 to EUR 1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400 to EUR 800, and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (approximately EUR 65,000 plus VAT). Total acquisition costs are typically 12 to 13% above the purchase price.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage for this property?
Yes. Spanish banks generally lend up to 60 to 70% of the purchase price to non-residents, meaning a deposit of 30 to 40% is required. On EUR 6,500,000 that equates to a minimum deposit of roughly EUR 1,950,000 to EUR 2,600,000. Current variable mortgage rates in Spain range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%. A formal mortgage offer will require proof of income, bank statements, and a Spanish NIE number.
What are the ongoing running costs for this property?
No IBI (council tax) or community fee figures are currently registered for this property. Buyers should request confirmed figures from the agent before proceeding. As a gated community, El Madroñal does levy community fees; the amount will depend on the specific plot and services included. Utility costs for a villa of this size will be significant, and an energy rating of G indicates higher-than-average energy consumption.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. OceanHome can arrange a video viewing via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who cannot travel to Spain immediately. For in-person viewings, Málaga Airport is approximately 20 minutes away, making El Madroñal straightforward to reach. Contact us to schedule either option at a time that suits you.
What is the rental potential for a villa in El Madroñal?
El Madroñal falls within the municipality of Benahavis, which borders the Marbella Golden Mile and the Puerto Banús area, making it an established location for high-end short-term rentals. A tourist rental licence (Vivienda con Fines Turísticos) is required and must be registered with the Junta de Andalucía before letting. Demand from the luxury short-let market on the Costa del Sol is consistent throughout the year, though buyers should obtain independent rental appraisals rather than rely on projected yields.
What does the purchase process involve?
The first practical step is obtaining a Spanish NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is required for any property transaction. Once terms are agreed, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit, typically EUR 6,000 to EUR 10,000, is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (contrato de arras), under which the buyer pays 10% of the purchase price. The transaction completes before a notary, at which point the remaining balance and all taxes are settled and title is transferred.
