Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the EUR 899,000 asking price?
As this is a new-build property, IVA applies at 10% rather than ITP, totalling EUR 89,900. You should also budget for notary fees of approximately EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400–800, and independent legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (roughly EUR 10,788 including VAT). Total additional costs are typically 12–13% of the purchase price.
Can I get a mortgage on this property as a non-resident?
Yes. Spanish banks generally lend non-residents up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation, whichever is lower, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is typically required. On EUR 899,000 that equates to a deposit of approximately EUR 270,000–360,000. Variable and fixed mortgage rates currently range from around 3.5% to 4.5% depending on the lender and your financial profile.
What are the running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently registered at EUR 0 per month; buyers should verify the projected maintenance charge with the developer before completing. IBI (annual council tax) has not yet been assessed for this property and will be confirmed once the building receives its first catastro valuation. Additional running costs include rubbish collection (basura) and utility contracts.
Can I view this apartment remotely?
Yes. In addition to in-person viewings, we offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call, allowing you to tour the apartment and ask questions in real time. Contact our team to arrange a time that suits you.
Is this property suitable for holiday letting?
La Quinta and the wider Benahavis area attract a strong market of golf visitors and short-term renters, particularly during the spring and autumn golf seasons. New-build apartments in this area are eligible for a tourist licence subject to the applicable Andalusian regulations. Buyers should confirm licence availability with a local solicitor, as recent regulations have introduced restrictions in some municipalities.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once you have agreed the purchase, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit paid, typically EUR 6,000–10,000. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point 10% of the price is usually due. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, at which point the balance and all taxes are paid and the title deed (escritura) is signed.
