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%. ITP does not apply. On top of tax, allow for notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and legal fees of 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 — so it is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage for this property?
Spanish lenders generally require non-resident buyers to provide a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price, with the balance financed by mortgage. Variable and fixed rates currently sit in the range of 3.5–4.5% depending on the lender and the applicant's financial profile. We can refer you to independent mortgage brokers who work regularly with international buyers in the Benahavis area.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently recorded as zero for this development; buyers should confirm any service charge structure directly with the developer prior to completion. IBI (annual council tax) and basura (refuse collection charge) figures have not yet been assigned to this new-build unit and should be confirmed with the local council. We recommend requesting a full breakdown of all recurring charges from the developer before exchanging contracts.
Can I view the property remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call, and can walk you through the unit and the communal areas in real time. A selection of 50 photographs is also available. If you wish to visit in person, we can arrange accompanied viewings on any working day and at weekends by prior arrangement.
What is the rental potential in La Quinta?
La Quinta attracts golfers and families who prefer a quieter location within reach of Marbella and Puerto Banús. Four-bedroom penthouses of this size are in limited supply in the area, and there is an established market for short-term holiday rentals. Any rental income will depend on your chosen management arrangement, pricing strategy, and seasonal occupancy. You will require a tourist rental licence from the Junta de Andalucía before letting the property commercially.
What are the main steps in the purchase process?
First, obtain a Spanish NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is required for any property transaction. Once you agree on terms, a reservation deposit is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point a further deposit — typically 10% of the purchase price — is paid. For new builds, stage payments may apply during construction. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the balance is transferred and the title deed (escritura) is signed. We work with established local lawyers who can guide you through each step.
