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. On top of taxes, allow approximately EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for land registry registration, and around 1% plus VAT for legal representation. 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 — worth checking before you budget.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Non-resident buyers typically need a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price, as Spanish lenders generally cap financing at 60–70% of the valuation for non-residents. Variable and fixed mortgage rates on the Spanish market currently sit broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though your bank or an independent broker will confirm the rate available to you based on your financial profile.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently zero for this development. IBI (annual council tax) has not yet been assessed for this property; once the catastro reference is assigned the figure will be available from the agent. A separate annual basura (waste collection) charge may also apply once assessed by the local authority.
Can I arrange a viewing, and is a remote option available?
Yes. In-person viewings can be arranged through OceanHome at a time that suits you. If you are based outside Spain or would prefer an initial remote visit, we can also arrange a live video viewing of the apartment and the communal areas. Contact us to book either option.
Does this property have rental potential?
Los Flamingos and the wider Benahavis municipality sit within the Costa del Sol's principal holiday rental corridor, generating demand across both short-term tourist lets and longer-term residential rentals. A dedicated rental licence is required in Andalucía for tourist lettings; your legal adviser can confirm current requirements and the application process for this property.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which your lawyer can apply for on your behalf. The process typically begins with a reservation payment to take the property off the market, followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa) where a further deposit is paid. The balance is settled at the notary on completion, at which point ownership transfers and the title deed (escritura) is signed. Appointing an independent Spanish solicitor before you commit is strongly advisable.
