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%. ITP does not apply. You should also budget for notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and legal fees of around 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 before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers can typically obtain Spanish mortgages of up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Current variable and fixed rates from Spanish lenders are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though your personal circumstances and the lender will affect the terms offered.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees for this apartment are currently set at zero. IBI (annual property tax) is not yet available, as the property has not yet received its first rateable assessment. Basura (refuse collection) charges are also not yet confirmed. We recommend budgeting for these once the property has been registered and assessed by the local authority.
Can I view the property remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings by appointment for buyers who cannot travel to the Costa del Sol. Our agents can walk through the apartment and the communal areas with you via a live video call. In-person viewings are also available by arrangement.
Is this apartment suitable as a rental investment?
El Paraíso is a sought-after residential golf area within the Benahavis municipality, which borders Marbella's Golden Mile and Estepona. Demand for longer-term rentals from golf residents and professionals is steady in this area. If you plan to let the property as a tourist rental, you will need to apply for a tourist licence from the Junta de Andalucía before marketing the property. We recommend speaking to a local lettings agent for realistic rental guidance before purchasing.
What are the main steps in the purchase process?
You will need a Spanish NIE (foreigner identification number) before completion, which can be obtained in Spain or through a Spanish consulate in your home country. The usual sequence is: reservation agreement and deposit to take the property off the market, followed by a private purchase contract (arras) where typically 10% of the price is paid, with the balance due at notarial completion. A qualified Spanish solicitor should carry out due diligence on the new-build developer's licences and guarantees before you sign any contract.
