Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs for this apartment?
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. In addition, budget for notary fees of approximately EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of approximately EUR 400–800, and legal fees of 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 I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers in Spain can typically obtain a mortgage, though lenders generally require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Variable and fixed interest rates currently sit in the region of 3.5–4.5%, depending on the lender and your financial profile. A Spanish mortgage broker can help you compare options before you commit.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees for this development are currently listed at zero; buyers should verify this directly with the agent as the building is new. IBI (council tax) and basura (refuse collection) figures are not yet available for this unit and should be confirmed once the property is registered with the local authority. Air conditioning and double glazing will affect utility bills, though amounts will depend on usage.
Can I view the apartment remotely?
Yes. The agent can arrange a video viewing if you are unable to visit in person. This is particularly useful for off-plan or new-build units where show apartments or CGI walkthroughs may be available. Contact the agent to book either an in-person or remote viewing at a convenient time.
What is the rental potential in La Quinta?
La Quinta attracts both golf tourism and short-stay visitors due to its proximity to Marbella, Puerto Banus and several golf courses. There is demand for short-term rentals in this area throughout the year. To let the property on a tourist basis in Andalucía, you must register it with the regional tourism authority and obtain a licence. Requirements and conditions should be confirmed with a local solicitor before purchase.
What steps are involved in buying a property in Spain?
First, you will need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once you have agreed a price, a reservation contract is signed and a reservation deposit is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by the arras contract, a private purchase agreement under which you typically pay 10% of the purchase price; if the seller withdraws, they must return double that amount. The transaction is completed before a notary, at which point the balance, taxes and fees are settled and ownership transfers to you. Appointing an independent Spanish solicitor before signing anything is strongly recommended.
