Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs for this apartment in Benahavis?
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. Both rates are set by the Autonomous Community of Andalucía. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically 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 the region's conditions, for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — worth checking before you budget.
Can I get a mortgage on this property as a non-resident?
Non-resident buyers in Spain can typically borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is generally required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish lenders range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%, though individual offers depend on your financial profile and the lender. We can refer you to an independent mortgage broker with experience in cross-border Spanish purchases.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees for this development are currently recorded at zero. The annual IBI (council tax) figure is not yet available for this new-build property. Basura (refuse collection) charges are also not yet confirmed. We recommend budgeting for utility connections and any charges that may be set once the development is formally registered with the local authority.
Can I view the apartment remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who cannot travel immediately, including live walkthroughs via video call at a time convenient for you. With 50 images available for this listing, you can also carry out a thorough initial review online. In-person visits to La Quinta can be arranged through our Marbella office.
Is there rental potential for this property?
La Quinta and the wider Benahavis area attract both short-term holiday visitors and longer-term tenants, particularly those connected to the golf and leisure facilities in the area. Short-term tourist lets in Andalucía require a local authority licence (Vivienda con Fines Turísticos registration). Rental demand in La Quinta tends to be seasonal, peaking between April and October. We recommend speaking to a local letting agent for current market data before factoring rental income into your purchase decision.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which can be obtained in Spain or through a Spanish consulate in your home country. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation deposit is typically paid to take the property off the market, 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 completes before a Spanish notary, at which point the balance, taxes and fees are settled. Engaging an independent solicitor before signing any documents is strongly advised.
