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% of the purchase price. ITP does not apply. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and legal fees (typically 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 — so it is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers in Spain typically need a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price, as Spanish lenders generally offer a maximum loan-to-value of 60–70% for non-residents. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though individual offers will vary by lender and applicant profile. We can put you in touch with independent mortgage brokers familiar with the Spanish market.
What are the ongoing running costs for this property?
Community fees for this development are currently zero. Annual IBI (local property tax) has not yet been set for this new-build property; the figure will be confirmed once the catastral reference is issued. Basura (refuse collection) charges have not yet been assessed. We recommend budgeting for these once the property is registered and rated.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who are unable to travel to Los Almendros, Benahavis in person. A member of our team will walk you through the property, the communal areas, and the solarium via a live video call at a time that suits you. In-person viewings can be arranged with advance notice.
What is the rental potential of this penthouse?
Los Almendros sits within a golf-rich corridor close to the Costa del Sol, which generates consistent short-term rental demand from golf visitors and summer tourists. A penthouse with a private solarium commands a premium over standard apartments in the same development. We do not quote yield projections, but our local team can provide current comparable rental data to help you assess viability.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which your solicitor can apply for on your behalf. The typical sequence is: a reservation agreement to take the property off the market, followed by a private purchase contract (arras) in which a deposit — commonly 10% — is paid, and finally completion before a notary, at which point the balance is transferred and the title deed (escritura) is signed. We strongly recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor before committing to any stage.
