Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for beyond the asking price?
As a new build in AndalucĂa, this purchase carries IVA (VAT) at 10% of the purchase price plus AJD stamp duty at 1.2%, set by the autonomous region. ITP does not apply. Additional costs include notary fees, typically EUR 600 to EUR 1,200; land registry fees, typically EUR 400 to EUR 800; and solicitor or legal fees, commonly 1% of the purchase price plus VAT. Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet AndalucĂa's conditions, for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence â worth confirming before you finalise your budget.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage for this property?
Non-resident buyers can typically access mortgage financing in Spain, though lenders generally require a deposit of 30 to 40% of the purchase price. Current variable and fixed rates broadly range from 3.5% to 4.5%, depending on lender, term and your financial profile. We recommend arranging an agreement in principle before making an offer. We can put you in touch with independent mortgage brokers familiar with the Benahavis market.
What are the ongoing running costs for this penthouse?
Community fees are listed at nil for this development at the time of listing. Annual IBI (local property tax) and basura (waste collection) figures have not been supplied for this property and should be confirmed with the agent or the Benahavis town hall before exchange. Utility costs will depend on usage; the property carries an energy rating of G.
How can I arrange a viewing?
In-person viewings can be booked through your OceanHome agent at a time to suit you. If you are based outside Spain or prefer a preliminary look, we also offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call. Contact us to confirm availability and to request the development's technical specifications and floor plans.
Does the property have rental potential?
La Quinta sits within the Marbella-Benahavis corridor, which draws a year-round international visitor market, particularly golfers. Penthouse properties in this area attract demand for both short-term holiday lets and longer seasonal rentals. Rental licences for tourist lets in AndalucĂa are subject to regional and local regulations, and the process and restrictions should be confirmed with a local solicitor before purchase. We do not quote yield projections, but the agent can provide comparable rental data on request.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number, known as an NIE, which can be obtained at a consulate or police station in Spain. Once agreed, a reservation deposit is typically paid to take the property off the market, followed by a private purchase contract (arras) under which a further deposit â usually 10% of the purchase price â is paid and the completion date is set. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the balance is transferred and ownership is formally registered. Having a Spanish solicitor acting solely on your behalf throughout is strongly advisable.
