Frequently Asked Questions
What are the total purchase costs for this apartment?
As a new-build property in Andalusia, IVA applies at 10% rather than ITP, which amounts to EUR 110,000 on the asking price of EUR 1,100,000. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (EUR 400–800), and legal fees at approximately 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (around EUR 13,200 inclusive). Total purchase costs are likely to fall between EUR 124,200 and EUR 125,200 on top of the asking price.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Non-resident buyers can typically borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation, whichever is lower, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. On EUR 1,100,000 that equates to a deposit of between EUR 330,000 and EUR 440,000. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish lenders range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%. We can connect you with a specialist mortgage broker experienced in non-resident applications.
What are the ongoing running costs?
IBI (annual property tax) has not yet been set for this new-build and should be requested from Benahavis council before you commit to purchase. Community fees are currently shown as EUR 0 in the developer's data; this figure should be verified and confirmed in writing before exchange. Basura (refuse collection) charges have not been provided and should also be confirmed with the developer.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp, Zoom, or FaceTime for buyers who cannot travel to Benahavis immediately. Our agents can walk through the show apartment or the completed unit on a live call and follow up with a detailed report. In-person viewings can be arranged by appointment.
Is this apartment suitable as a rental investment?
Benahavis and the wider Costa del Sol corridor attract strong demand from both short-term holiday renters and longer-term tenants. A property of this size and specification in Los Almendros would typically appeal to the mid-to-high end of the rental market. We recommend speaking with a local lettings agent for current rental data before making any investment assumptions, as we do not quote yield percentages without verified local evidence.
How does the purchase process work in Spain?
You will first need an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), a Spanish tax identification number required for all property transactions. Once your offer is accepted, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit (typically EUR 6,000–10,000) is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by the arras contract, where 10% of the purchase price is exchanged and the terms are formalised. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the balance is paid and the title deed (escritura) is signed. A solicitor independent of the agent and developer is strongly recommended throughout.
