Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs apply to this property?
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. In addition, budget for notary fees of approximately EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of approximately EUR 400–800, and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT. Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet the region's conditions — for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — and it is worth checking these before you finalise your budget.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Non-resident buyers in Spain can typically borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is generally required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish lenders sit broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though rates vary by lender, term, and applicant profile. We recommend speaking with an independent mortgage broker with experience in the Spanish market.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees for this development are currently listed at zero, though buyers should confirm whether this figure will remain once the development is fully handed over. The annual IBI (council tax) has not yet been confirmed for this new-build property. There may also be an annual basura (waste collection) charge set by the local authority — ask the agent for the latest figures before exchange.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who are unable to travel to Los Flamingos in person. A member of the OceanHome team can walk through the property and the communal areas live, answer questions in real time, and share additional photographs or plans. Contact us to arrange a time that suits you.
What is the rental potential in Los Flamingos?
Los Flamingos is an established address within the Benahavis-Marbella corridor, which generates consistent demand for short-term holiday lets from golf and leisure visitors, and longer-term lets from corporate and seasonal tenants. Andalucía requires a tourist rental licence (VPAT) for short-term letting, and the application process should be factored into your timeline. We are happy to connect you with a local rental management specialist for a market appraisal.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which can be obtained at a Spanish consulate or in person in Spain. Once you agree terms, a reservation contract is signed and a reservation deposit is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which stage a further deposit — typically 10% of the purchase price — is paid. The balance is settled at the notary on the completion date, when title transfers to you. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor before the reservation stage.
