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%, set by the autonomous region. ITP does not apply to new-build purchases. 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 — so it is worth checking before you budget. Additional one-off costs typically include notary fees (EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (EUR 400–800) and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Non-resident buyers can generally obtain a Spanish mortgage, though lenders typically require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Variable and fixed rates currently range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5% annually, depending on the lender and your financial profile. We recommend obtaining an agreement in principle before making an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently recorded as zero; buyers should confirm the final service charge with the developer before contracts are exchanged, as this figure may change once the development is complete and the owners' community is formally constituted. IBI (council tax) has not yet been assigned to this property and will be set by the local authority after completion. Basura (waste collection) charges have not yet been confirmed.
Can I arrange a viewing, and are remote viewings available?
Yes. In-person viewings can be arranged through our Benalmádena office at a time that suits you. If you are based outside Spain, we can also arrange a live video viewing so you can see the property and ask questions in real time before committing to travel.
Does this property have rental potential?
Higuerón and the wider Benalmádena coast attract both long-stay residents and short-term visitors due to the area's transport links and coastal amenities. New-build properties in this zone are eligible for tourist rental licences subject to municipal approval. We recommend speaking to a local letting agent to assess realistic occupancy levels and rental income before purchase, as yield figures vary by season and management approach.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which can be obtained at a local police station or through a Spanish consulate in your home country. Once terms are agreed, a reservation fee secures the property, followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa) typically requiring 10% of the purchase price. For new builds, stage payments during construction are common. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the remaining balance, taxes and fees are settled and title passes to you.
