Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the EUR 6,495,000 asking price?
Because this is a new-build property, you pay IVA at 10% rather than transfer tax (ITP). On EUR 6,495,000 that comes to approximately EUR 649,500 in IVA. Add notary fees of EUR 600 to EUR 1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400 to EUR 800, and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus 21% VAT. Budget for total acquisition costs of roughly 12 to 13% above the asking price.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Spanish banks typically lend non-residents up to 60 to 70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30 to 40% is required. On EUR 6,495,000 that deposit would be between EUR 1,948,500 and EUR 2,598,000. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5% per annum, though terms vary by lender and applicant profile.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are listed as EUR 0 per year. Annual IBI (council tax) and refuse collection charges have not yet been confirmed for this new-build and must be verified with the agent or local town hall before completion. We recommend budgeting for utility connections and any applicable urbanisation maintenance costs separately.
How can I arrange a viewing?
Viewings can be arranged in person at the La Quinta site in Benahavis or remotely by video call if you are not currently in Spain. Contact our team to book a time that suits you and we will coordinate directly with the developer.
Is this property suitable as a rental investment?
La Quinta falls within the Benahavis municipality on the Costa del Sol, an area with active demand for short-term holiday lettings. To operate a tourist rental legally you must obtain a tourist licence from the Junta de Andalucia. Rental income potential depends on management, occupancy, and nightly rates, and should be assessed with local rental data rather than projected figures.
What steps are involved in buying this property?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE (foreigner identification number), which your solicitor can apply for on your behalf. Once you agree terms, a reservation fee is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), where typically 10% of the price is paid, and finally completion at a Spanish notary where the title deed (escritura) is signed and the balance transferred.
