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%, set by the Andalucía autonomous region. ITP does not apply. Additional purchase costs typically include notary fees of EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of 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 — and are worth checking before you budget.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Non-resident buyers can typically borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates for non-residents in Spain are broadly in the range of 3.5–4.5%, though the rate offered will depend on your lender, financial profile and chosen mortgage product.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees for this development are currently recorded as zero. The annual IBI (council tax) has not yet been assessed, as this is a new build; the agent can provide an estimate once the catastro valuation is complete. Basura (refuse collection) charges have not been confirmed. Utility connections — electricity, water — will be billed according to usage.
How can I arrange a viewing?
Viewings can be arranged in person by contacting the OceanHome team directly. If you are based outside Spain, a video viewing can also be organised, allowing you to tour the apartment and ask questions in real time before committing to travel.
Does this property have rental potential?
La Quinta and the wider Benahavis municipality attract both long-term residents and visitors, given the proximity to golf courses and the Marbella coastline. Short-term tourist letting requires a licence from the Junta de Andalucía, and rules around licensing should be confirmed with a local solicitor. The agent can provide guidance on current rental demand in the area.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is required for any property transaction in Spain. Once your offer is agreed, 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), at which point a further deposit — typically 10% of the purchase price — is paid. The sale is completed before a Spanish notary, at which point the balance and all applicable taxes and fees are settled. Independent legal representation is strongly recommended throughout.
