Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the EUR 1,495,000 asking price?
As this is a new-build property in Andalusia, VAT (IVA) at 10% applies rather than ITP transfer tax, adding EUR 149,500. Stamp duty (AJD) is typically 1.2% in Málaga province, approximately EUR 17,940. Additional costs include notary fees (EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (EUR 400–800), and independent legal fees of approximately 1% plus VAT (around EUR 17,940 plus VAT). Total purchase costs are typically 12–14% above the purchase price.
Can I get a mortgage on this property as a non-resident?
Non-resident buyers can typically borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price or bank valuation (whichever is lower) on a Spanish mortgage, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is required. On EUR 1,495,000, that equates to approximately EUR 448,500–EUR 598,000 in equity. Current variable and fixed rates from Spanish lenders range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%. We can connect you with independent mortgage brokers who specialise in non-resident finance.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently listed as EUR 0 per month and buyers should verify the final figure with the developer before signing any contract. IBI (annual property tax) has not yet been assessed for this new-build property and will be confirmed once the property is registered with the local catastro. Utility connections (water, electricity) will be additional. Budget for an estimated EUR 1,000–2,000 per year in general maintenance costs for a property of this size.
How can I arrange a viewing?
Viewings can be arranged in person or via a live video call if you are not currently in Spain. Contact the OceanHome team to schedule either option. We recommend booking at least 48 hours in advance to allow us to coordinate with the developer.
What is the rental potential of this property?
La Quinta is a tourist-licensed area within the Marbella-Benahavis corridor, and new-build apartments at this price point attract both short-term holiday lets and longer corporate lets. Demand is consistent throughout the year due to the proximity of La Quinta Golf and Country Club and easy access to Marbella. We recommend consulting a local property management company for current market rental valuations before making any investment decisions.
What is the purchase process for buying property in Spain?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE number (tax identification number), which can be obtained at a Spanish consulate or in person in Spain. Once you have agreed on the price, a reservation contract is signed and a deposit (typically EUR 6,000–10,000) is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point around 10% of the purchase price is paid. The balance is settled at the notary on completion, when ownership is formally transferred and the title deed (escritura) is signed.
