Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the sale 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 typically include notary fees (EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (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 these before you budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers can typically obtain a Spanish mortgage, though most lenders require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Interest rates on Spanish mortgages currently run at approximately 3.5–4.5% depending on the lender and product. We recommend taking independent mortgage advice early in the process.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees for this property are currently listed at zero; buyers should confirm this directly with the developer, as service charges may be set once the complex is fully operational. The annual IBI (council tax) figure has not yet been assigned to this new-build property. There is no basura (waste collection) charge on record at this stage. We recommend budgeting for these costs and requesting confirmation in writing before exchange.
How can I arrange a viewing?
Viewings can be arranged in person or via a live video call with one of our agents, who can walk you through the apartment and the communal areas in real time. Contact OceanHome to book a slot at a time that suits you.
Is this apartment suitable as a rental investment?
El Paraíso and the wider Benahavis area attract both long-term residents and visitors using the Costa del Sol as a base. The proximity to Marbella, Puerto Banús, and several golf courses supports demand for short-term holiday lets, subject to obtaining a valid tourist licence from the Junta de Andalucía. We do not quote yield percentages, as these depend on management costs, occupancy, and seasonal rates that vary from year to year.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which can be obtained through a Spanish consulate or a local gestor. Once you have chosen the property, a reservation fee takes it off the market while due diligence is carried out. A private purchase contract (arras) is then signed and an agreed deposit — typically 10% — is paid. The sale is completed before a Spanish notary, at which point the balance is transferred and the title deed is signed. Having an independent Spanish solicitor throughout the process is strongly recommended.
