Frequently Asked Questions
What are the estimated purchase costs on top of the asking price?
As a new-build property in Málaga province, IVA applies at 10% of the purchase price, which equals EUR 87,500 on EUR 875,000. Additional costs include notary fees of approximately EUR 600 to 1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400 to 800, and legal fees of roughly 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (approximately EUR 10,500 plus VAT). Total additional costs are typically around 12 to 13% of the price.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage to buy this property?
Yes. Non-resident buyers can typically borrow up to 60 to 70% of the purchase price from Spanish lenders, meaning a deposit of 30 to 40% is generally required. On EUR 875,000 that equates to a deposit of approximately EUR 262,500 to EUR 350,000. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish banks are broadly in the range of 3.5 to 4.5%. We can refer you to independent mortgage brokers who specialise in non-resident finance.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently listed at EUR 0 per month. No IBI (annual property tax) figure is available at this stage for the new-build development; once the property is registered, the local council will issue an IBI assessment. Utility contracts for water and electricity will need to be set up on completion.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who are unable to travel immediately. Remote viewings allow you to ask questions in real time and get a clear sense of the layout and finish. In-person viewings can be arranged with advance notice by contacting our team directly.
Is this property suitable as a rental investment?
Los Flamingos is a tourist area within the Marbella-Benahavis corridor, and new-build properties here attract both short-term holiday lets and longer-term rentals. A rental licence from the Junta de Andalucía is required for holiday letting. We do not quote yield percentages, but our team can provide guidance on the local rental market and licensing requirements.
How does the purchase process work in Spain?
First, you will need an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), the tax identification number required for all property purchases in Spain. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation contract is signed and a deposit (typically EUR 3,000 to 10,000) is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point a further deposit of around 10% is usual. The transaction completes before a Spanish notary, who registers the title deed. The full process from reservation to completion typically takes 4 to 12 weeks for new-build properties, depending on the stage of construction.
