Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for beyond 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 of 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 — and it is worth checking these before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer in Spain?
Non-resident buyers can typically borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Spanish mortgage rates currently range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%, depending on the lender and whether you opt for a fixed or variable product. We can refer you to specialist mortgage brokers who work with international buyers.
What are the ongoing running costs for this penthouse?
Community fees for this development are currently listed as zero; buyers should confirm the final figure with the developer once the community of owners is constituted. The annual IBI (council tax) figure is not yet assigned to this unit and should be confirmed before completion. No basura (waste collection) charge has been recorded for this listing. We recommend requesting up-to-date figures from the developer directly.
Can I view this property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings by appointment, during which our local agent can walk through the property and the development in real time and answer questions. For new-build units, we can also arrange a visit to the show flat or provide developer walkthroughs. Contact us to schedule a time that suits you.
Does this penthouse have rental potential?
Benahavis and the surrounding Costa del Sol corridor attract consistent demand for holiday lettings, particularly from golfers and visitors to Puerto Banús and Marbella. A tourist rental licence (VFT) will be required to let the property legally on a short-term basis in Andalucía. We recommend speaking to a local lettings agent for realistic occupancy and yield expectations specific to Los Almendros.
What does the purchase process involve for overseas buyers?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once you agree terms, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), typically with 10% of the purchase price paid at that stage. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the balance is transferred and keys are handed over. We strongly recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor throughout.
