Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the EUR 2,000,000 asking price?
As a new-build, this penthouse is subject to IVA at 10% (EUR 200,000) rather than transfer tax. Stamp duty (AJD) in Andalusia is typically around 1.5% (approximately EUR 30,000). Notary fees generally run between EUR 600 and EUR 1,200, land registry fees between EUR 400 and EUR 800, and independent legal representation typically costs around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (approximately EUR 24,200 inclusive). Budget for total acquisition costs of roughly 13-14% above the purchase price.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish banks typically offer non-residents a loan-to-value ratio of up to 60-70%, meaning a deposit of 30-40% of the EUR 2,000,000 price (EUR 600,000 to EUR 800,000) would be required. Current variable and fixed rates generally range from 3.5% to 4.5% depending on the lender and the applicant's financial profile. We can refer you to independent mortgage brokers with experience in the Costa del Sol market.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently listed as EUR 0; buyers should confirm the finalised figure directly with the developer before exchange, as this is a new-build and service charge budgets may not yet be set. IBI (annual council tax) has not been assessed for this property. Buyers should also budget for utility connection fees, contents insurance, and annual property management costs if required.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who are unable to travel to La Quinta in person. Our agents can conduct a live video call walk-through of the show apartment or available unit, and we can provide supplementary video and floor plan materials in advance. Contact us to schedule a time.
What is the rental potential of this penthouse in La Quinta?
La Quinta sits within the Marbella-Benahavis tourist zone, where demand for short-term holiday rentals is active, particularly from golf visitors and those seeking proximity to Puerto Banús. A tourist rental licence (VFT) would be required to let the property on a short-term basis and eligibility should be confirmed with a local solicitor. Longer-term residential rentals are also a common strategy in this area given its appeal to international residents.
What steps are involved in purchasing this property?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which can be obtained in Spain or via a Spanish consulate abroad. Once terms are agreed, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit (typically EUR 6,000 to EUR 10,000) is paid to take the property off the market. A private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa) follows, at which point 10% of the purchase price is usually paid. For new-builds, staged payments during construction may apply. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, at which point the balance and all taxes are paid and keys are transferred.
