Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the EUR 518,000 asking price?
As a new-build property, this penthouse is subject to IVA at 10% rather than transfer tax, which amounts to EUR 51,800. Additional costs include notary fees of approximately EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of approximately EUR 400–800, and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (approximately EUR 6,216 including VAT at 21%). Total purchase costs are typically 12–14% above the asking price, so you should budget for roughly EUR 62,000–73,000 on top of the EUR 518,000.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers can typically obtain a Spanish mortgage for up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is required. On EUR 518,000 that equates to a deposit of approximately EUR 155,400–207,200. Current variable and fixed rates from Spanish lenders are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though individual offers vary by lender and applicant profile. We can refer you to independent mortgage brokers with experience in non-resident applications.
What are the ongoing running costs for this property?
The annual IBI (council tax) figure has not yet been confirmed and should be established with the developer or local council before completion. Community fees are currently stated as EUR 0 per month; buyers should confirm the final figure with the developer once the community of owners is formally constituted. Utility contracts for electricity and water will need to be set up on completion.
Can I view this property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings by appointment, which can be arranged via WhatsApp or video call at a time that suits you. We can also provide additional photographs or a walkthrough of the development show apartment where available. In-person viewings in Benalmádena can be arranged with advance notice.
What is the rental potential for this penthouse in Benalmádena?
Benalmádena is a registered tourist area within Andalusia, and new-build properties with communal pool facilities attract consistent short-term letting demand from June through September. Owners wishing to rent legally must obtain a Vivienda con Fines Turísticos (VFT) licence from the Junta de Andalucía before listing on platforms such as Airbnb or Booking.com. We do not quote specific yield figures, but a local rental management company can provide realistic occupancy estimates based on comparable properties in Montealto.
What steps are involved in buying this property?
The first step is obtaining a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which is required for all property transactions and can be obtained at a Spanish consulate or in Spain. Once you have agreed the purchase, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit (typically EUR 3,000–6,000) is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point 10% of the purchase price is usually paid. For new-build properties, stage payments during construction may apply. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the title deed (escritura) is signed and the balance paid. We strongly recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor throughout the process.
