Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs apply to this property?
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 region of Andalucía. In addition, budget for notary fees of approximately EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of approximately EUR 400–800, and legal fees typically around 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 — so it is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage for this purchase?
Non-resident buyers typically need to provide 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 from Spanish banks range between approximately 3.5% and 4.5% per annum, though this depends on the lender and the applicant's financial profile. We can refer you to an independent mortgage broker with experience in cross-border applications.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently set at zero; this is the pre-active-residents'-association figure provided with the listing. The annual IBI (council tax) has not yet been confirmed, as the catastral reference has not been assigned to this new-build unit. Basura (refuse collection) charges are also unconfirmed at this stage. Once the property is registered, both figures will be set by the local authority and notified to owners.
Can I view this property remotely before travelling?
Yes. We offer video viewings by appointment, including live walkthroughs via video call so you can ask questions in real time. We can also share CGI renders, floor plans, and site plans for this development. To arrange an in-person or remote viewing, contact our team directly.
Is there a rental market for properties in La Quinta, Benahavis?
La Quinta and the wider Benahavis municipality attract buyers interested in medium to long-term lets, particularly given the proximity to La Quinta Golf and Country Club and the easy access to Marbella and Puerto Banús. Short-term holiday rental activity in Benahavis is subject to Andalucían regional licensing requirements. We recommend obtaining specific local advice before committing to a rental strategy, as licensing conditions and demand patterns vary by property type and location within the municipality.
What is the buying process for this new-build apartment?
The first step is to obtain an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), the tax identification number required for all property purchases in Spain. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit paid 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 stage payment is typically made. The balance is paid at the notary on completion, when title transfers to you. We strongly recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to carry out due diligence throughout the process.
