Frequently Asked Questions
What are the estimated purchase costs on top of the EUR 790,000 price?
As a new-build property in Andalusia, you pay IVA at 10% (EUR 79,000) instead of transfer tax, plus stamp duty (AJD) at approximately 1.2% (around EUR 9,480). Notary fees typically run EUR 600 to EUR 1,200, land registry fees EUR 400 to EUR 800, and independent legal fees approximately 1% of the purchase price plus VAT. Budget for total acquisition costs of around 13 to 14% above the sale price.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish lenders generally offer non-residents up to 60 to 70% loan-to-value on a property priced at EUR 790,000, meaning a deposit of 30 to 40% (EUR 237,000 to EUR 316,000) is typically required. Current variable and fixed rates for non-resident mortgages are broadly in the 3.5 to 4.5% range. We can introduce you to specialist brokers with experience in this market.
What are the ongoing running costs for this penthouse?
Community fees are currently listed at EUR 0 per month, though these may be set once the development is complete and the owners' community is formally constituted. The IBI (annual property tax) has not yet been assessed for this new-build development. Basura (refuse collection) charges have also not been confirmed. We recommend requesting updated figures from the developer before exchange.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who cannot visit in person. For on-site visits to the Los Flamingos development, please contact us to schedule an appointment. We can also provide detailed floor plans and developer brochures on request.
Is this property suitable as a rental investment?
Los Flamingos sits within the Benahavis municipality on the Costa del Sol, an established tourist area. New-build properties in this corridor can attract both short-term holiday lets and longer-term rentals from golf and leisure tourists. You will need a holiday rental licence from the Junta de Andalucía to let legally on short-term platforms. We recommend taking local rental management advice before purchase.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which your solicitor can obtain. A reservation fee is paid to secure the property, followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa) at which typically 10% of the price is paid. For new builds, stage payments during construction may apply. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the balance is paid and title is transferred. Using an independent Spanish solicitor throughout is strongly advised.
