Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the EUR 1,150,000 asking price?
As a new-build property, this apartment is subject to IVA at 10% rather than the resale transfer tax (ITP). That adds EUR 115,000 in tax. On top of that, allow EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for land registry, and approximately 1% of the purchase price plus VAT for legal representation. Total acquisition costs typically run to around 12–13% of the purchase price.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish banks generally lend to non-residents, though they typically require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. On EUR 1,150,000 that means providing EUR 345,000–460,000 from your own funds. Current variable and fixed rates for non-resident mortgages are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though individual terms vary by lender and applicant profile.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently recorded as EUR 0, though this may change once the development is fully operational. No IBI (annual property tax) figure is yet registered for this unit. As a new build, the IBI and rubbish collection charge will be confirmed once the property receives its licence of first occupation and is entered in the catastro register.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. OceanHome can arrange a video viewing for buyers who are unable to visit in person. For those who can travel, in-person appointments at the Los Flamingos site can be booked through our office. Contact us to confirm availability.
What is the rental potential in Los Flamingos, Benahavis?
Los Flamingos is a tourist-zone residential area with established demand for holiday rentals, particularly from golf visitors and those seeking proximity to Marbella and Puerto Banús. Short-term rental licences in Andalusia are regulated, and you would need to obtain a Vivienda con Fines Turísticos registration before letting the property. We recommend speaking to a local property manager for current market conditions.
How does the purchase process work in Spain?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which can be obtained at a consulate or in Spain. Once you agree a price, a reservation contract is signed and a deposit of around EUR 6,000–10,000 is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by the arras contract, under which you pay 10% of the purchase price. The final balance is paid at the notary, where the title deed (escritura) is signed and ownership formally transfers.
