Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the EUR 1,395,000 asking price?
As this is a new build, you pay IVA at 10% instead of transfer tax, which equals EUR 139,500. Notary fees are typically EUR 600 to EUR 1,200, land registry fees EUR 400 to EUR 800, and legal fees approximately 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (roughly EUR 16,740 plus VAT). Total additional costs are typically 12 to 14% of the purchase price.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage for this property?
Yes. Spanish banks generally lend up to 60 to 70% of the purchase price to non-residents, meaning a deposit of 30 to 40% is required. On EUR 1,395,000, that represents EUR 418,500 to EUR 558,000. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5% annually, though terms vary by lender and applicant profile.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees have not yet been confirmed for this development. IBI (annual council tax) has not been set as the property is a new build. Once the property is registered and rateable values are assigned, IBI will be calculable. We recommend budgeting conservatively and confirming figures with your legal adviser once available.
Can I arrange a viewing, and are remote options available?
In-person viewings can be arranged through OceanHome. If you are unable to travel to the Costa del Sol, we also offer video viewings so you can assess the property and its surroundings before committing to a visit.
Is this property suitable as a rental investment?
La Quinta and the wider Benahavis area attract strong demand from golf tourists and longer-stay visitors throughout the year. Properties in this zone can perform well as holiday lets or medium-term rentals, particularly given proximity to several golf courses and easy access to Puerto Banús. A tourist licence from the Junta de Andalucía is required to rent short-term. We recommend speaking with a local rental management company to assess realistic occupancy and returns for this specific development.
What are the main steps in the purchase process?
First, you will need an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is 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, typically EUR 6,000 to EUR 10,000. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), where usually 10% of the purchase price is paid. The sale is then completed before a Spanish notary, at which point the balance is transferred and the title deeds are signed.
