Frequently Asked Questions
What are the estimated purchase costs on top of the EUR 1,695,000 asking price?
As a new-build in Andalusia, IVA applies at 10% (EUR 169,500) rather than ITP. Additional costs include notary fees of approximately EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400–800, and legal fees typically around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (approximately EUR 16,950 + VAT). Total purchase costs are likely to be in the region of EUR 190,000–190,000, so buyers should budget for roughly 11–12% on top of the purchase price.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage for this property?
Yes. Spanish banks typically lend up to 60–70% of the purchase price to non-residents, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. On EUR 1,695,000 that equates to EUR 508,500–677,000. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though rates vary by lender and applicant profile. We can refer you to independent mortgage brokers with experience in non-resident finance.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently registered at EUR 0 per month; buyers should verify the finalised figure with the developer before completion. No IBI (annual property tax) figure is available for this new-build at this stage — the amount will be confirmed once the property is registered with the local catastro. Utility contracts for electricity and water will need to be set up on completion.
Is it possible to view the apartment remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who cannot travel immediately, including live walkthroughs via video call and pre-recorded footage of the development and show unit where available. In-person viewings in La Quinta can be arranged on weekdays and most weekends with advance notice.
What is the rental potential for a property in La Quinta, Benahavis?
La Quinta falls within the Marbella-Benahavis corridor, which sees consistent demand for holiday lets from spring through to autumn. Properties in this area typically attract short-term rental enquiries from golf visitors and families. We recommend consulting a local property management company for realistic occupancy and rental rate projections, as these vary depending on finish, marketing strategy and licensing.
How does the purchase process work for this property?
The first step is obtaining an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), the tax identification number required for all property transactions in Spain. Once you are ready to proceed, a reservation agreement is signed and a holding deposit paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (contrato de arras) in which typically 10% of the purchase price is paid. The balance is settled at the notary on the day of completion, when the title deed (escritura) is signed and ownership transfers to the buyer.
