Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the EUR 450,000 asking price?
As a new-build, IVA applies at 10%, which equals EUR 45,000. You should also budget for notary fees of EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400–800, and legal fees of approximately 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (around EUR 5,400 including VAT). Total additional costs are typically EUR 52,000–54,000.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers can generally obtain a Spanish mortgage for up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is required. On EUR 450,000 that represents EUR 135,000–180,000. Current variable and fixed rates from Spanish lenders range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5% per annum. We can refer you to an independent mortgage broker.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently listed as EUR 0 per month, though this may be subject to change once the development is fully operational. No IBI (local property tax) figure has been provided by the vendor; IBI is set by the Benalmádena town hall and will be confirmed once the property is registered with the catastro. There is no basura (waste collection) figure on file either.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who cannot travel to Benalmádena in person. Please contact the OceanHome team to schedule either a remote or in-person viewing of the Montealto development.
Is this apartment suitable for holiday rental?
Benalmádena is within the Costa del Sol, a designated tourist area with strong short-term rental demand throughout the year. To let the property as a holiday rental you would need to register with the Junta de Andalucía and obtain a tourist accommodation licence (Vivienda con Fines Turísticos). We can provide guidance on the application process.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which we can help you obtain. Once you have agreed the price, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit paid, typically EUR 3,000–6,000. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras) in which 10% of the price is paid. For a new-build, staged payments during construction may apply. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the remaining balance is transferred and the keys are handed over.
