Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs for this new-build 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 AJD and ITP are set by the autonomous region, not the province or town. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and solicitor's fees at roughly 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 — and it is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can non-residents get a mortgage to buy this property?
Non-resident buyers can typically obtain a Spanish mortgage, though lenders generally require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Current variable and fixed rates on offer from Spanish banks are in the region of 3.5–4.5%. It is advisable to obtain an agreement in principle before proceeding, as mortgage approval timescales can affect the arras contract timeline.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees for this development are currently zero. The annual IBI (council tax) figure has not been confirmed for this new-build and should be requested from the developer or agent before exchange. Basura (refuse collection) charges have not been provided and should also be confirmed separately.
Can I view this apartment remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who cannot travel immediately. A video call can be arranged at a time that suits you, during which an agent will walk through the apartment and the communal areas. In-person viewings can be booked once you are able to visit Los Flamingos.
Does this property have rental potential?
Los Flamingos is a popular area for golf tourism, and the proximity to three 18-hole courses and the short drive to Puerto Banús attract both short and medium-term rental demand. A tourist rental licence is required in Andalucía before marketing the property for short-term lets. We recommend speaking to a local letting agent for current occupancy data before making any rental assumptions.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which can be obtained at a Spanish consulate or in person in Spain. Once terms are agreed, a reservation deposit is paid to take the property off the market. A private purchase contract (arras) follows, typically requiring a payment of around 10%, which commits both parties. The balance is paid at completion before a notary, who registers the transfer with the land registry. Using an independent solicitor throughout is strongly recommended.
