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. These rates are set by the Autonomous Community of Andalucía. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically 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 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 get a mortgage on this property?
Spanish lenders typically offer non-residents up to 60–70% loan-to-value on a new-build purchase, meaning a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price would normally be required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain sit broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though individual offers vary by lender and applicant profile. We recommend speaking with an independent mortgage broker with experience in Spanish lending before you make an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently recorded at zero for this development; buyers should confirm the final service charge budget with the developer prior to completion. IBI (municipal property tax) and basura (waste collection charge) figures have not yet been assessed for this new build. Your legal adviser can request an estimate from the local town hall once the property has been registered.
Can I view this property remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings by appointment for buyers who cannot travel to Benalmádena immediately. These can be conducted live via video call so you can ask questions in real time. Contact our team to arrange a remote or in-person viewing at a time that suits you.
What is the rental potential in La Perla, Benalmádena?
Benalmádena Costa is an established tourist destination on the Costa del Sol, and La Perla's proximity to the beach promenade and Puerto Marina makes it attractive to short-term holiday renters. A tourist licence from the Junta de Andalucía is required before letting the property on a short-term basis. We recommend speaking with a local property management company for current demand and occupancy data specific to this type of unit.
What steps are involved in buying this property?
You will need an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) before completing the purchase; your solicitor can apply on your behalf. The usual process begins with a reservation agreement to take the property off the market, followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa) with a deposit — commonly 10% of the purchase price. The balance is paid at notary on the day of completion, when the public deed of sale (escritura) is signed and the keys are handed over. Engaging an independent Spanish solicitor from the outset is strongly advised.
