Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for beyond the asking price?
As this is a new-build property, IVA applies at 10% rather than ITP. On a purchase price of EUR 945,000, that equates to EUR 94,500 in VAT. You should also allow for notary fees of approximately EUR 600 to 1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400 to 800, and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (approximately EUR 9,450 plus VAT). Total additional costs typically fall between 12% and 13% of the purchase price.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
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 required. On EUR 945,000, that deposit would be between EUR 283,500 and EUR 378,000. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish banks are broadly in the 3.5% to 4.5% range, though you should obtain formal quotes based on your individual circumstances.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently recorded as EUR 0 per year; buyers should verify the final monthly charge with the developer, as this figure may not yet be set. No IBI (annual property tax) figure has been confirmed for this new-build unit. Additional running costs include rubbish collection (basura), contents and building insurance, and utility standing charges.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. OceanHome can arrange a live video viewing for buyers who are unable to travel to Los Flamingos in person. We can walk through the development and the completed or show unit via video call at a time that suits you. In-person viewings can be scheduled directly through our Benahavis office.
Is this property suitable as a rental investment?
Los Flamingos and the wider Benahavis area attract a consistent flow of golf and leisure visitors, and short-term holiday rental licences are available in the Malaga province subject to registration requirements. Buyers intending to rent the property should confirm local licensing rules with their legal adviser before purchase, as regulations can change. We can provide comparable rental data for the Los Flamingos area on request.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which your lawyer can obtain on your behalf. Once you have agreed the purchase, a reservation contract is signed and a deposit of typically EUR 6,000 to 10,000 is paid to secure the property. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato privado) at which a further deposit, commonly 10%, is paid. The sale is completed before a Spanish notary, at which point the remaining balance and all taxes are settled and the title deeds (escritura) are signed.
