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%, set by the autonomous region of Andalucía. ITP does not apply to new-build transactions. Additional costs typically include notary fees (EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (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 — so it is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers typically need a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price, as Spanish lenders generally finance up to 60–70% for non-residents. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5% per annum, though individual terms depend on the lender and your financial profile. We recommend obtaining a mortgage agreement in principle before making an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees for this unit are currently listed as zero, though buyers should confirm this directly with the developer as the development completes. The annual IBI (local property tax) figure has not yet been confirmed for this property. There is no basura (refuse collection) charge recorded at present. We advise requesting a full schedule of charges from the developer before exchange.
Can I view the property remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings by appointment, which can cover the show apartment, communal areas, gardens and the surrounding La Quinta neighbourhood. Remote viewings are available via video call at a time that suits you. In-person visits can also be arranged with advance notice.
Is this apartment suitable as a rental investment?
La Quinta and the broader Benahavis municipality attract both long-term residents and visitors linked to the area's golf courses and proximity to Marbella. Short-term tourist rentals require a licence from the Junta de Andalucía, and rental income potential depends on occupancy rates, management costs and local licence availability. We can connect you with local property managers who can provide area-specific occupancy data.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), the Spanish tax identification number required for any property transaction. The process typically begins with a reservation agreement and payment of a reservation deposit 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 — commonly 10% of the purchase price — is paid. The transaction is then completed before a notary, who oversees the signing of the title deed (escritura). We strongly recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to act on your behalf throughout.
