Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the EUR 1,495,000 price?
As a new build, this property is subject to IVA (VAT) at 10%, which amounts to EUR 149,500. Notary fees are typically EUR 600 to 1,200, land registry fees EUR 400 to 800, and legal fees around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (approximately EUR 17,940 including VAT at 21%). Total additional costs are likely to be in the region of EUR 168,000 to EUR 170,000.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish lenders typically offer non-residents up to 60-70% loan-to-value on a property priced at EUR 1,495,000, meaning a deposit of 30-40% (EUR 448,500 to EUR 598,000) would be required. Current variable and fixed rates generally range from 3.5% to 4.5% annually, though terms vary by lender and applicant profile.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently listed as EUR 0, though buyers should confirm whether charges will apply once the development is complete. No IBI (council tax) figure has been provided for this property; the agent can supply an estimate based on the catastral value once assigned. The energy rating is G.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. OceanHome offers video viewings for buyers who are unable to visit in person. Contact us to schedule a live video call or to request a recorded walkthrough of the development.
Does this property have rental potential?
La Quinta is a tourist area within the Marbella-Benahavis corridor, and properties here are let on both short and long-term bases. A tourist licence will be required for short-term holiday letting in Andalusia. The agent can provide guidance on licensing requirements and current market demand in this area.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which can be obtained at a consulate or in Spain. A reservation fee secures the property, followed by a private purchase contract (arras) where typically 10% of the price is paid. The remaining balance is paid at completion before a notary, who registers the transfer. A Spanish solicitor is strongly recommended throughout.
