Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for on top of the asking price?
As a new build in Andalucía, this purchase carries IVA (VAT) at 10% of the purchase price plus AJD stamp duty at 1.2%, set by the Andalucían autonomous region. ITP does not apply. In addition, allow roughly EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for Land Registry registration, and around 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 I get a mortgage on this property as a non-resident?
Non-resident buyers can typically borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price from a Spanish lender, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates for non-residents range broadly from 3.5% to 4.5%, though the exact terms will depend on your lender and financial profile. It is advisable to obtain an agreement in principle before signing any reservation contract.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees for this development have not yet been set and should be confirmed with the agent. Annual IBI (council tax) and basura (refuse collection) figures are not available at this stage; the agent can advise on expected amounts once the development is registered with the local authority. Energy rating is G.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. OceanHome can arrange a video viewing of the show apartment or available units within the development, conducted via video call at a time that suits you. In-person viewings at the Los Almendros site in Benahavis can also be scheduled. Contact us to confirm availability and book a time.
Is this apartment suitable as a rental investment?
Benahavis and the surrounding area attract both long-term residents and visitors using it as a base for golf and the nearby coast. Rental demand exists for both short and long-term lets, though short-term tourist rentals in Andalucía require a regional licence. The agent can provide guidance on licence requirements and local rental market conditions. No yield figures are quoted as these depend on individual management, occupancy and costs.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is required for any property purchase in Spain. Once you have agreed to proceed, a reservation contract is signed and a reservation deposit 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 payment, typically 10% of the purchase price less the reservation amount, is made. The balance is paid at notary on completion, when title transfers to you. Using an independent solicitor throughout is strongly recommended.
