Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs apply to this property?
As a new build in AndalucĂa, 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 to 1,200, land registry fees typically EUR 400 to 800, and legal fees at approximately 1% of the purchase price plus VAT. Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet the region's conditions â for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence â so it is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Non-resident buyers can typically borrow up to 60 to 70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30 to 40% is usually required. Variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish lenders currently range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%, though rates vary by lender and applicant profile. We recommend obtaining an agreement in principle before reserving.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently shown as nil in the listing record. Buyers should confirm the service charge schedule with the developer before exchange, as charges may be set closer to completion. The annual IBI (council tax) and basura (rubbish collection) figures have not yet been confirmed for this plot and should be requested from the agent. Underground parking is included within the development.
Can I view this property remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who are unable to travel to the Costa del Sol at short notice. Our agents can conduct a live video call walkthrough of the show apartment and communal areas, and can share development plans and floor layouts in advance. In-person viewings at Los Flamingos are also available by appointment.
What is the rental potential in Los Flamingos?
Los Flamingos sits within the Benahavis municipality, which borders the tourist corridors of Marbella and Estepona. The area attracts golf visitors year-round and coastal holidaymakers from spring to autumn. Short-term holiday lettings require a regional tourist licence from the Junta de AndalucĂa. We do not quote yield percentages, but a local rental management specialist can provide realistic occupancy and rate forecasts based on recent comparable properties.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which can be obtained through a Spanish consulate in your home country or in person in Spain. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation fee is paid to take the property off the market. This is typically followed by a private purchase contract (contrato de arras or compraventa) in which 10% of the purchase price is paid. The balance and all associated taxes are settled at the notary on completion, at which point ownership transfers. Using an independent Spanish solicitor throughout is strongly recommended.
