Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs apply to this apartment?
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. These rates are set by the Autonomous Community of Andalucía. Additional costs include 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) — worth checking before you budget.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Non-resident buyers in Spain can generally borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is typically required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish lenders range broadly between 3.5% and 4.5%, though your individual rate will depend on the lender, your financial profile and the loan term. A mortgage broker with Spanish market experience is advisable.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are recorded as 0 at the time of this listing; buyers should confirm the final figure directly with the developer before contracts are signed, as charges on new developments are sometimes set after the first residents take occupation. IBI (annual council tax) and basura (refuse collection charge) figures have not yet been assigned to this property and should be requested from the developer or the local Benahavis town hall.
Can I view this apartment remotely?
Yes. OceanHome can arrange a video viewing at a time that suits you, allowing you to tour the development and ask questions in real time without travelling. An in-person viewing can be scheduled once you are ready to visit. Contact the agent to book either option.
Is this apartment suitable as a rental investment?
Benahavis and the surrounding Golden Triangle area attract consistent visitor demand, particularly from golf and leisure tourists. New-build apartments with communal facilities in this zone are eligible for tourist rental licences, subject to Junta de Andalucía registration requirements. Projected yields will depend on occupancy, management costs and seasonal pricing; we recommend speaking to a local rental management company for realistic figures based on comparable properties.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which can be obtained through a Spanish consulate or in person 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 typically followed by a private purchase contract (contrato de arras or contrato privado) with a further stage payment. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the remaining balance is paid and the title deed (escritura) is signed. Independent legal representation throughout is strongly recommended.
