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 (typically 1% of the purchase price plus VAT). These rates are set by the Andalucían regional government. 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 — worth checking before you budget.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Non-resident buyers typically require 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 for Spanish property are broadly in the range of 3.5–4.5%, though individual offers vary by lender and applicant profile. We recommend speaking with a Spanish mortgage broker before making an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are recorded at nil for this unit at the time of listing. IBI (annual property tax) has not yet been assessed, as the development is new construction; the agent can advise on the likely banded rate once the catastral value is assigned. A separate basura (waste collection) charge is levied by Benahavis municipality and should be confirmed with the agent.
How can I arrange a viewing?
In-person viewings can be arranged by contacting our team directly. We also offer video viewings for buyers who are not currently in Spain, allowing you to walk through the property and communal areas remotely before travelling. Contact us to book either option.
Does this property have rental potential?
La Quinta sits within the Costa del Sol tourist zone and properties in this area can qualify for a short-term tourist rental licence, subject to Benahavis municipal regulations and community rules. The high specification of this development and its proximity to Marbella and several golf courses may support rental demand. We do not quote projected yields, as actual returns depend on occupancy, management costs and local licensing conditions.
What does the purchase process involve for a foreign buyer?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which can be obtained at a Spanish consulate or in Spain with legal assistance. Once a property is agreed, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit paid, typically around EUR 6,000–10,000, to take the unit off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa) with a further stage payment, commonly 10% of the purchase price. The transaction completes before a notary, at which point the balance and all taxes are paid and title transfers. We strongly recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to act for you throughout.
