Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase taxes and costs for 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% of the purchase price. ITP does not apply. Additional costs to budget for include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800) and legal fees (typically around 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 — worth checking before you budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers in Spain can typically borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain are broadly in the range of 3.5–4.5%, though rates vary by lender and applicant profile. We recommend speaking with an independent mortgage broker before making an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees for this property are currently set at zero. IBI (local property tax) and basura (waste collection) figures are not yet available for this new-build unit and must be confirmed with the developer prior to exchange. We recommend requesting a written estimate from the developer as part of your due diligence.
How can I arrange a viewing?
Viewings can be arranged in person or by video call if you are not currently in Spain. Contact us to book a time that suits you and we will co-ordinate with the developer. We can also supply additional floor plans, specification sheets and any available show-unit imagery on request.
Does this property have rental potential?
La Quinta is within the Benahavis municipality, which borders the Marbella Golden Mile and the San Pedro de Alcantara commercial area. Short-term tourist rental demand in this corridor is consistent year-round due to proximity to golf courses, the coast and Málaga Airport at 20 minutes. A tourist rental licence would be required; your legal adviser can confirm the current application process and any local restrictions before you proceed.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which your solicitor can apply for on your behalf. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation fee is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (contrato de arras or similar developer contract) with a further stage payment, typically 10% of the purchase price less the reservation. The remaining balance is paid on completion before a notary, at which point ownership transfers. We strongly recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor before signing any documents.
