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% of the purchase price. ITP does not apply. Additional purchase costs typically include notary fees (EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (EUR 400–800), and legal fees at approximately 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 — and it is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Non-resident buyers can generally access mortgage finance in Spain, though lenders typically require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Indicative variable and fixed rates at the time of writing range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%, though terms vary between lenders and individual circumstances. We recommend taking independent financial advice before making any commitment.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently set at zero for this development. IBI (local property tax) has not yet been assessed for this new-build unit; a figure will be assigned by the local authority following completion and registration. Basura (refuse collection) charges have also not been confirmed at this stage. We recommend budgeting for these costs and asking your legal adviser to clarify anticipated amounts before exchange.
Can I arrange a viewing, and is a remote viewing possible?
In-person viewings can be arranged by contacting OceanHome directly. We also offer video viewings for buyers who are unable to travel to Spain at short notice, allowing you to conduct a full walk-through of the property remotely. Please get in touch to schedule either option at a time that suits you.
Is this property suitable for holiday rental?
La Quinta is within the municipality of Benahavis, which falls under Andalucía's tourist rental licensing framework. A Vivienda con Fines Turísticos (VFT) licence is required to let the property on a short-term basis. The development's community rules should also be checked for any restrictions on tourist letting. Demand in this area is driven by golf tourism and proximity to the Marbella coast, though we do not quote rental yield projections.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is required for any property purchase and can be obtained at a Spanish consulate abroad or in person at a provincial police station in Spain. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point a further payment — commonly 10% of the purchase price — is made. The transaction is completed before a notary, who registers the deed with the land registry. We strongly recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to act on your behalf throughout.
