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 of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT. 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 — and are worth checking before you budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers in Spain can typically borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Mortgage rates for non-residents currently range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%, depending on the lender and the loan term. We can refer you to independent mortgage brokers who work with international buyers.
What are the ongoing running costs for this property?
The annual IBI (council tax) figure is not yet available for this new-build property; the agent can advise once the catastral reference is assigned. Community fees are currently recorded as nil, though buyers should verify this with the developer before proceeding. Rubbish collection (basura) charges are also to be confirmed.
How can I arrange a viewing?
Viewings can be arranged in person at a time that suits you. If you are based outside Spain, we can also organise a live video viewing so you can walk through the property remotely with one of our agents. Contact us to book either option.
Does this property have rental potential?
Benahavis and the wider Marbella area attract consistent demand from short-term holiday visitors, and La Quinta's golf and mountain setting appeals to longer-stay tenants. Rental licences for holiday lets in Andalucía are subject to regional regulations; we recommend seeking legal advice on the licensing process before purchase.
What does the purchase process look like?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which your lawyer can obtain on your behalf. The process typically begins with a reservation agreement and a holding deposit 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 deposit — commonly 10% of the purchase price — is paid. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the remaining balance, taxes, and fees are settled. Independent legal representation is strongly recommended throughout.
