Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs apply to this apartment?
As a new build in Andalucía, this purchase carries IVA (VAT) at 10% of the purchase price plus AJD stamp duty at 1.2%. ITP does not apply. Both IVA and AJD are set by the autonomous region of Andalucía. In addition, budget for notary fees of approximately EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of approximately EUR 400–800, and legal fees typically 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 — so it is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Non-resident buyers can typically obtain a mortgage for this type of new-build purchase in Spain, though most lenders require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Interest rates for non-resident mortgages on the Costa del Sol currently range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%, depending on the lender, term, and your financial profile. Speaking with a Spanish mortgage broker before reserving is advisable.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are recorded as nil at the time of listing, though buyers should verify this with the agent as the development is new-build and fees may be set once the community is formally constituted. The annual IBI (council tax) figure is not yet available for this property; the agent can advise once the catastral reference is assigned. Utility connections and refuse collection charges will apply once the property is occupied.
Can I view this apartment remotely?
Yes. OceanHome can arrange a video viewing of the development, show homes, and communal areas at a time that suits you. We can also provide detailed floor plans, a finishes schedule, and a virtual walkthrough where available. In-person viewings at the Los Flamingos site can be arranged with advance notice.
Is there rental potential in Los Flamingos, Benahavis?
Los Flamingos is a tourist-licensed zone within Benahavis, and properties in this area are let on both short-term holiday and longer-term bases. The proximity to Puerto Banús, the golf courses, and Estepona supports demand across both markets. Buyers should obtain a tourist rental licence through the Junta de Andalucía before letting short-term, and should take independent advice on projected occupancy for this specific development.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, you will need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which your lawyer can obtain on your behalf. Once you have agreed 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), at which point a further stage payment is typically made. For new builds, stage payments during construction are common, with the balance paid at notary on completion. All transfers are executed before a Spanish notary, after which the title is registered at the land registry.
