Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and fees apply to this property?
As a new-build, this penthouse is subject to IVA at 10%, which amounts to EUR 259,000 on the EUR 2,590,000 asking price. On top of that, you should budget EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for land registry registration, and approximately 1% plus VAT (around EUR 3,145) for legal representation. Total purchase costs typically add 11–13% to the price.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish lenders will generally offer non-resident buyers up to 60–70% loan-to-value on a property at this price point, meaning a deposit of 30–40% (EUR 777,000–1,036,000) would be required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish banks are broadly in the range of 3.5–4.5% per annum, though rates vary by lender and borrower profile.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently recorded as zero; buyers must confirm the final annual charge with the developer prior to exchange, as this figure is subject to change before the building is handed over. No IBI (local property tax) figure is yet available for this new-build unit. The agent can provide an estimated IBI once the property receives its catastral reference.
Can I view the property remotely?
Yes. OceanHome can arrange a live video viewing via WhatsApp or video call at a time that suits you. A pre-recorded video tour can also be provided on request. In-person viewings at the La Quinta development are available by appointment.
Does this property have rental potential?
La Quinta falls within the Benahavis municipality, which borders the Marbella Golden Mile and is popular with golf and leisure visitors. Properties of this size and specification in the area do attract short-term holiday rental interest, and Benahavis has an established tourist rental licensing framework. Buyers should consult a local lawyer to confirm current licence requirements and any community restrictions on short-term letting before purchase.
How does the purchase process work in Spain?
The first step is obtaining an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), the tax identification number required for any property transaction in Spain. Once you have agreed terms, you pay a reservation fee to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), typically with a 10% deposit paid at that stage. The balance is paid at the notary on completion, when ownership is formally transferred and the deeds are signed. The whole process from reservation to completion usually takes 4–12 weeks for new-build properties, though off-plan timelines vary.
