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%. ITP does not apply. These rates are set by the Autonomous Community of Andalucía. In addition, you should budget for notary fees of approximately EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of approximately EUR 400–800, and legal representation typically at 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 — which is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage on this property as a non-resident?
Non-resident buyers can typically access Spanish mortgages, though lenders usually require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Interest rates for non-resident mortgages currently sit in the range of 3.5–4.5% depending on the lender and whether you opt for a fixed or variable rate. New-build mortgages are released in stages aligned with construction milestones, so speak to a Spanish mortgage broker early in the process.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently set at zero. IBI (annual local property tax) has not yet been assessed for this property by the local authority, so a figure is not available at this stage. Basura (refuse collection charge) is also not yet confirmed. Your legal adviser can request updated figures from the developer and the Benahavis town hall before exchange.
Can I view the property remotely?
Yes. OceanHome can arrange a live video viewing via WhatsApp, Zoom, or FaceTime at a time convenient to you. For new-build developments, we can also walk through the show apartment or present developer CGIs and floor plans during the video call. In-person viewings are available by appointment.
Does this property have rental potential?
La Quinta is within the municipality of Benahavis, which applies a quota system for tourist rental licences. Demand from golfers and from buyers seeking proximity to Marbella and Puerto Banús means rental interest in the area is consistent, but you must confirm whether a licence is available for this specific unit before relying on rental income in your projections. The agent can advise on the current position.
What does the purchase process look like?
First, obtain an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is required for any property purchase in Spain. You will then pay a reservation fee to take the property off the market, followed by a private purchase contract (contrato de arras) in which typically 10% of the price is paid. For a new build, subsequent stage payments are made as construction progresses. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the balance is settled and the title deed is signed. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor before the reservation stage.
