Frequently Asked Questions
What are the total purchase costs for this penthouse?
As a new-build property in Andalusia, IVA applies at 10% of the purchase price, which comes to EUR 165,000 on a price of EUR 1,650,000. Additional costs include notary fees (EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (EUR 400–800), and legal fees of approximately 1% of the price plus VAT (around EUR 19,800 including VAT). Budget for total acquisition costs of approximately EUR 187,000–190,000 on top of the purchase price.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Most Spanish lenders offer mortgages to non-residents on properties like this one, typically requiring a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. On EUR 1,650,000, that equates to EUR 495,000–660,000 as a minimum deposit. Current variable and fixed rates for non-residents range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%. We can refer you to independent mortgage brokers with experience in the Benahavis market.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees for this development are listed at EUR 0. IBI (council tax) and basura (waste collection) figures are not yet available for this property, as it is a new build. We recommend requesting these figures from the developer or the local Benahavis town hall once the property is registered.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who are not currently in Spain. For on-site visits to Los Flamingos, Benahavis, we ask you to book at least 48 hours in advance. Contact us to schedule either option.
Does Los Flamingos have tourist rental potential?
Los Flamingos sits within the Benahavis municipality on the Costa del Sol, a region with consistent demand for short-term holiday rentals. Proximity to Puerto Banús, Marbella, and the Los Flamingos Golf Club supports rental interest from both golf and leisure visitors. A tourist rental licence (VFT) from the Junta de Andalucía is required before letting the property. We recommend consulting a local legal adviser on licence requirements for new-build properties in this urbanisation.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which can be obtained in Spain or via a Spanish consulate in your home country. Once you proceed, a reservation agreement is signed and a deposit (typically EUR 6,000–10,000) is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), during which a further deposit, usually 10% of the purchase price, is paid. The transaction is completed before a Spanish notary, at which point the remaining balance is transferred and keys are handed over. We strongly advise appointing an independent solicitor throughout.
