Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the EUR 1,250,000 asking price?
As a new-build, this property is subject to IVA at 10% (EUR 125,000) rather than transfer tax. Additional costs include notary fees of approximately EUR 600 to 1,200, land registry fees of approximately EUR 400 to 800, and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (approximately EUR 12,500 plus VAT). Allow for a total of roughly 12 to 13% on top of the purchase price.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish banks typically lend non-residents up to 60 to 70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30 to 40% is required. On EUR 1,250,000, that equates to a minimum deposit of approximately EUR 375,000 to EUR 500,000. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5% per annum, though rates vary by lender and applicant profile.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently listed as EUR 0 per year. Buyers should confirm the final amount with the developer before completing the purchase, as this figure may change once the development is handed over. Annual IBI (council tax) and basura (rubbish collection) charges are not yet available for this new-build and should be requested directly from the agent.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. OceanHome offers video viewings for buyers who cannot travel to the Costa del Sol. Contact us to arrange a live video call tour of the apartment and the communal areas. In-person viewings can also be arranged by appointment.
What is the rental potential in Los Almendros, Benahavis?
Benahavis is a popular area within the Costa del Sol tourist zone and properties of this size and specification can attract both short-term holiday lets and longer-term rental tenants. A tourist licence from the Junta de Andalucia is required for short-term holiday rentals. Speak to the agent for current rental market conditions in Los Almendros specifically.
What does the buying process involve in Spain?
First, you will need an NIE (Numero de Identificacion de Extranjero), which is a Spanish tax identification number required for all property purchases. Once you agree on terms, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit paid, typically EUR 6,000 to 10,000. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point around 10% of the purchase price is paid. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the balance is paid and the title deed is signed and registered.
