Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs apply to this apartment?
As a new build in AndalucĂa, this purchase carries IVA (VAT) at 10% of the purchase price plus AJD stamp duty at 1.2%. ITP does not apply. In addition, budget for notary fees of approximately EUR 600â1,200, land registry fees of approximately EUR 400â800, and legal fees typically 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) â worth checking before you budget.
Can I get a mortgage on this property as a non-resident?
Non-resident buyers in Spain are generally required to put down a deposit of 30â40% of the purchase price, as Spanish lenders typically finance up to 60â70% for non-residents. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain broadly range from 3.5% to 4.5%, depending on the lender, loan term, and applicant profile. We recommend consulting an independent mortgage broker familiar with the Spanish market.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently listed at zero for this development. IBI (annual property tax) and basura (refuse collection charge) figures have not yet been confirmed for this new-build; please ask the agent for projected amounts before exchange. Once established, these charges are fixed by the local authority and the owners' community, and are independent of the purchase price.
Can I view the apartment remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp, FaceTime, or Zoom for buyers who cannot travel immediately. A recorded video tour can also be arranged on request. In-person viewings can be scheduled on weekdays and most weekends with advance notice.
Is this apartment suitable for short-term holiday rental?
Los Almendros is within the Benahavis municipality on the Costa del Sol, an area with strong tourist demand throughout the year. Short-term rental is possible subject to registering with the Junta de AndalucĂa and obtaining a tourist licence (Vivienda con Fines TurĂsticos). Your solicitor can advise on the application process and any community rules that may restrict rental activity within this specific development. We do not quote projected yields as rental income depends on management, occupancy, and market conditions.
What are the main steps in the purchase process?
First, you will need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once you agree a price, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point a further agreed sum is paid. On completion, both parties sign before a Spanish notary and the title deed (escritura) is registered at the Land Registry. For new builds, completion timelines are linked to the construction programme and should be confirmed with the developer.
