Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for beyond the asking 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 include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and legal fees at around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT. Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet the region's conditions — for example, age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — and it is worth checking these before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers in Spain typically need to provide a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price, as Spanish banks generally lend up to 60–70% of the valuation for non-residents. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates for non-residents are broadly in the range of 3.5–4.5%, though this varies by lender and individual circumstances. We recommend obtaining an agreement in principle before making an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently recorded as zero for this development, though you should confirm the final figure with the agent before committing, as fees may be set once the community is formally constituted. The annual IBI (council tax) figure is not yet available for this new-build property. You should also budget for utilities, home insurance, and any property management fees if you intend to let the apartment.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who cannot travel to El Paraíso immediately. Remote viewings allow you to see the development, the communal areas, and any show unit in detail. Contact us to arrange a time that suits you, and we can also follow up with a recorded walkthrough.
Does this property have rental potential?
El Paraíso and the wider Benahavis and Marbella corridor attract consistent demand from holiday visitors, particularly those interested in golf and the nearby coast. Short-term tourist licences in Andalucía are subject to regional regulations, and you should check the current rules with a local lawyer before purchasing with a rental strategy in mind. We are not able to guarantee yields, but the area has an established market for holiday lets.
What does the purchase process look like?
The first step is to obtain an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), the tax identification number required for all property transactions in Spain. Once you have agreed a price, a reservation contract is typically signed and a reservation deposit paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point a further deposit — usually 10% of the purchase price — is paid. The transaction is completed before a notary, who oversees the signing of the title deed (escritura) and the transfer of the balance. We recommend instructing an independent Spanish lawyer to represent you throughout.
