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%, set by the Autonomous Community of Andalucía. ITP does not apply to new-build transactions. On top of taxes, budget approximately EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for land registry fees, and around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT for legal costs. Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet Andalucía's conditions — for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying as a primary residence — and this is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers can typically borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price from a Spanish lender, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is generally required. Variable and fixed mortgage rates currently range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%, though the exact rate depends on your lender, term and financial profile. We recommend consulting a Spanish mortgage broker before you begin the process.
What are the ongoing running costs for this property?
Community fees are currently set at no charge. IBI (council tax) and basura (refuse collection charge) figures have not yet been confirmed for this new-build unit; please ask the agent for the most recent estimates. Energy costs will vary depending on usage; the property holds an energy rating of G.
Can I arrange a viewing, and is a video viewing available?
Yes. In-person viewings can be arranged by contacting OceanHome directly. If you are unable to visit in person, we can arrange a live video viewing so you can explore the property and ask questions in real time. Please get in touch to book either option at a time convenient to you.
Does this property have rental potential?
La Quinta and the wider Benahavis area attract steady demand from golf visitors and the broader Marbella market throughout the year, with peak demand in summer and during golf events. A new-build penthouse of this specification is well suited to short-term tourist rental. You will need a Junta de Andalucía tourist rental licence before letting the property; the agent can provide further guidance on the application process and likely rental demand.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which your solicitor can help you obtain. A reservation fee is typically paid to secure the property and remove it from the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), under which a further deposit is paid, usually 10% of the purchase price in total. The transaction completes before a notary, at which point the remaining balance, taxes and fees are settled and title transfers to the buyer. Appointing an independent Spanish solicitor from the outset is strongly recommended.
