Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the EUR 1,280,000 asking price?
As a new build in Andalusia, you pay IVA at 10% (EUR 128,000) rather than transfer tax, plus stamp duty (AJD) at 1.2% (EUR 15,360). 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 15,360 plus VAT). Budget for total purchase costs of roughly 13 to 14% on top of the sale 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 generally required. On EUR 1,280,000 that equates to a deposit of approximately EUR 384,000 to EUR 512,000. Variable and fixed mortgage rates currently range from roughly 3.5% to 4.5%, though terms vary by lender and applicant profile.
What are the ongoing running costs for this penthouse?
Community fees are currently recorded as EUR 0 per month; buyers should verify the final figure with the developer before exchange. Annual IBI (council tax) is not yet assigned for this new-build property and will be confirmed once the property is registered. Utility costs for a 124m2 penthouse will depend on usage and supplier tariffs.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. OceanHome offers video viewings for buyers who cannot travel immediately. Contact us to arrange a live video walkthrough of the development and the specific unit. On-site viewings in Los Almendros, Benahavis, can also be arranged at a time convenient to you.
Is this property suitable as a rental investment?
Benahavis and the wider Costa del Sol corridor attract both short-term holiday visitors and longer-term residents, generating demand for quality rental accommodation. A tourist rental licence from the Junta de Andalucía is required for short-term lets. Speak to our team for area-specific rental market information.
What are the main steps in the purchase process?
First, you will need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which can be obtained at a Spanish consulate or in Spain. Once you agree the price, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit, typically EUR 6,000 to 10,000, is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point 10% of the purchase price is usually paid. The sale is completed before a Spanish notary, at which point the balance and all taxes and fees are settled and title transfers to the buyer.
