Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the EUR 2,250,000 price?
As this is a new-build property in Andalusia, you pay IVA (VAT) at 10% rather than transfer tax (ITP). On EUR 2,250,000 that amounts to EUR 225,000. In addition, budget for notary fees of EUR 600 to 1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400 to 800, and legal fees of approximately 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (roughly EUR 27,225 including VAT at 21%). Total additional costs are typically 12 to 13% of the purchase price.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish banks will generally lend to non-residents, though the maximum loan-to-value is typically 60 to 70%, meaning a deposit of 30 to 40% is required. On EUR 2,250,000 that represents EUR 675,000 to EUR 900,000. Current variable and fixed rates from Spanish lenders range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%. Terms of up to 20 to 25 years are available to non-residents, subject to income assessment.
What are the ongoing running costs?
No IBI (annual property tax) figure or community fee data has been provided by the vendor at this stage. Buyers should request confirmed figures before proceeding. As a new-build property in Benahavis, IBI will be assessed by the local authority after the first cadastral valuation. Community fees will be set once the development is registered. We recommend asking your solicitor to verify both before signing any contracts.
Can I view this property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. OceanHome offers video viewings for buyers who are unable to travel immediately. A member of our team can walk through the property with you live via video call, or we can provide a recorded walkthrough on request. In-person viewings can be arranged at short notice for buyers already in the area or visiting the Costa del Sol.
Is this property suitable for holiday rental income?
La Quinta is within the Benahavis municipality, which is part of the wider Marbella tourist area and sees consistent demand from short-term visitors, particularly golfers and those seeking proximity to Puerto Banus. New-build penthouses of this size and specification can attract premium nightly rates. A tourist rental licence (VFT) would be required, and your solicitor can advise on the application process. We do not quote yield percentages, but the agent can discuss comparable rental activity in La Quinta on request.
What is the step-by-step purchase process in Spain?
First, you will need an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), the Spanish tax identification number required by all foreign buyers. You can apply in Spain at a police station or through the Spanish consulate in your home country. Once terms are agreed, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit of around EUR 6,000 to EUR 10,000 is paid to remove the property from the market. A private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa) follows, at which point typically 10% of the purchase price is paid. The remaining balance is settled at the notary on completion, when title transfers to the buyer and keys are handed over. Your solicitor will also handle registration of the title deed at the land registry.
