Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase taxes and costs on this apartment?
As a new build in Málaga province, this property is subject to IVA at 10% rather than ITP. On a price of EUR 1,315,000 that is EUR 131,500 in IVA. Additional costs include notary fees (approximately EUR 600 to EUR 1,200), land registry fees (approximately EUR 400 to EUR 800), and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT, totalling roughly EUR 13,150 plus VAT. Budget for total acquisition costs of around 12 to 13% on top of the purchase price.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Non-resident buyers can typically borrow up to 60 to 70% of the purchase price from Spanish lenders, meaning a deposit of 30 to 40% is required. On EUR 1,315,000 that represents a minimum deposit of approximately EUR 394,500. Current mortgage rates in Spain are broadly in the range of 3.5% to 4.5%, though rates vary by lender and applicant profile. We can introduce you to specialist mortgage brokers experienced in non-resident lending.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
No IBI (annual council tax) figure is currently registered for this property as it is a new build, and the agent can provide an estimate once available. Community fees are listed as EUR 0 at present, though buyers should verify whether maintenance charges will apply once the development is complete. An annual basura (refuse collection) charge will also apply and the exact amount should be confirmed with the agent.
Can I arrange a viewing, and are remote viewings available?
Yes. In-person viewings can be arranged through OceanHome at a time that suits you. If you are based outside Spain or unable to travel, we can also organise a live video viewing so you can see the property remotely and ask questions in real time. Contact us to book either option.
Does this property have rental potential?
Benahavis and the surrounding Costa del Sol corridor attract significant demand from both short-term holiday visitors and longer-term residential renters. New-build apartments at this price point tend to appeal to the high-end short-term rental market, particularly given proximity to golf courses and Málaga Airport. A tourist rental licence would be required for short-term lettings, and eligibility and local regulations should be confirmed with a local solicitor before purchase.
What are the key steps in the purchase process?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once you agree the purchase price, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit (typically EUR 6,000 to EUR 10,000) is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point around 10% of the price is paid. The balance is settled at notary, where the title deed (escritura) is signed and ownership formally transfers to you. We strongly recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor throughout the process.
