Frequently Asked Questions
What are the estimated purchase costs on top of the asking price?
As a new-build property in Andalusia, IVA (VAT) applies at 10% of the purchase price, which equals EUR 136,500 on EUR 1,365,000. You should also budget for notary fees (EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (EUR 400–800), and legal/solicitor fees of approximately 1% plus VAT (around EUR 13,650). Total additional costs are typically in the region of EUR 152,000–155,000.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish banks typically lend up to 60–70% of the purchase price to non-residents, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is required. On EUR 1,365,000 that equates to roughly EUR 410,000–546,000. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish lenders range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5% annually. We recommend consulting an independent mortgage broker familiar with cross-border lending.
What are the ongoing running costs for this penthouse?
Community fees are currently listed as EUR 0 per month; buyers should verify this directly with the developer before exchange. IBI (annual property tax) and basura (refuse collection charge) figures are not yet available for this new-build and should be requested from the agent or local town hall once the property is registered. Energy rating is G.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. OceanHome offers video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who cannot travel to Benahavis immediately. We can walk through the development, the communal areas, and the plot in real time. In-person viewings in Los Almendros can be arranged 7 days a week with advance notice.
Is this property suitable as a rental investment?
Benahavis sits within the Costa del Sol tourist zone, which has strong demand for short-term holiday lets and longer-term residential rentals. The area's proximity to Marbella, Puerto Banús, and multiple golf courses supports year-round occupancy potential. A tourist rental licence (Vivienda con Fines Turísticos) must be obtained from the Junta de Andalucía before letting. We do not quote yield percentages, but a local lettings agent can provide market rental data for comparable properties in Los Almendros.
What are the main steps in the purchase process?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), obtainable at a Spanish consulate or in Spain with a lawyer's assistance. Once you agree terms, a reservation fee is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (contrato de arras) under which typically 10% of the price is deposited. The balance is paid at completion before a notary, at which point title transfers to the buyer. We strongly recommend engaging an independent Spanish solicitor throughout.
