Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs for a new-build villa in Andalucía?
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. Both rates are set by the Autonomous Region of Andalucía. On top of those taxes, allow roughly EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for land registry registration, and approximately 1% of the purchase price plus VAT for a solicitor. 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 non-residents obtain a mortgage for this property in Spain?
Spanish lenders typically require non-resident buyers to provide a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price, with the remainder financed by mortgage. Current variable and fixed rates for non-residents generally range between 3.5% and 4.5% annually, though terms vary by lender and buyer profile. You will also need a Spanish NIE number before any mortgage application can be processed.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees for this property are currently nil. The annual IBI (council tax) figure is not yet confirmed for this new build and should be requested from the agent prior to exchange. Basura (refuse collection) charges are also to be confirmed. Budget separately for utilities, insurance, and routine maintenance of the pool and garden, which can be substantial on a property of this scale.
Can I arrange a viewing, and are remote viewings available?
Yes. In-person viewings of La Zagaleta-El Madroñal can be arranged through the agent, subject to the estate's access requirements for visitors. Video viewings are also available if you would like a live walkthrough before travelling. Please contact OceanHome to book either option.
Is this villa suitable as a rental investment?
La Zagaleta-El Madroñal is a private, access-controlled estate, and short-term tourist letting is subject to Andalucía's licensing rules as well as any estate-specific regulations. Buyers considering rental use should take independent legal advice before completing their purchase, as both the comunidad's rules and regional licensing requirements will affect what is permitted.
What is the purchase process for property in Spain?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once you agree terms, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit paid to secure the property. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point typically 10% of the purchase price is paid. The balance is settled at the notary on the completion date, at which point ownership transfers formally. Your solicitor will carry out due diligence — including title, planning, and debt checks — between reservation and notary.
