Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs apply to this villa?
As a new build in Andalucía, this purchase carries IVA (VAT) at 10% of the purchase price plus AJD stamp duty at 1.2%. ITP does not apply. Both rates are set by the Autonomous Community of Andalucía. Additional purchase costs typically include notary fees of EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400–800, and legal fees of 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) — worth checking before you budget.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Non-resident buyers in Spain can typically borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Current mortgage rates for Spanish property loans range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%, though individual lender terms vary. A mortgage broker experienced in cross-border Spanish transactions is advisable at this price level.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees for this property are currently not registered. The annual IBI (council tax) figure has not yet been assessed, as the property is a new build. Your legal adviser can request a provisional IBI estimate from the Benahavis town hall once the catastral reference is assigned. Utility connections and refuse collection charges will apply once occupation begins.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling?
Yes. OceanHome can arrange a live video viewing via video call so you can walk through the property and ask questions in real time before committing to a visit. For a new build at this stage, we can also share developer CGIs, floor plans, and specification documents digitally. In-person visits to El Madroñal can be scheduled on request.
Is this property suitable as a rental investment?
El Madroñal is a private residential community rather than a typical short-term holiday rental zone, and many owners within the gated perimeter use properties as primary or secondary residences. If rental income is part of your plan, you should confirm the community statutes permit short-term letting and obtain the Junta de Andalucía tourist rental licence before marketing the property. Your solicitor can verify any community restrictions during the due diligence process.
What is the process for purchasing this villa?
The first step is to obtain an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), the tax identification number required for all Spanish property transactions. Once you agree terms, a reservation deposit is typically paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (contrato de arras) in which a further deposit, usually 10% of the purchase price, is paid and the completion date is fixed. On the agreed completion date, the balance is paid before a notary and the deeds are signed. The title is then registered at the land registry. Legal representation throughout this process is strongly recommended.
