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 of Andalucía. ITP does not apply to new-build purchases. Additional 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. 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 — and are worth checking before you budget.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish lenders typically offer non-resident buyers up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish banks generally fall in the 3.5–4.5% range, though terms vary by lender and individual circumstances. We recommend obtaining a mortgage agreement in principle before making an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently nil for this development. Annual IBI (local property tax) has not yet been assessed, as this is a new-build property; the figure will be confirmed once the catastro valuation is issued. A basura (waste collection) charge will also apply once assessed by the local authority. We recommend budgeting for these once confirmed.
Can I view the property remotely?
Yes. We can arrange a live video viewing at a time that suits you, allowing you to walk through the property and ask questions in real time. A recorded video tour may also be available on request. Contact us to schedule either option alongside or ahead of an in-person visit.
Does this property have rental potential?
Benalmádena is an established tourist area on the Costa del Sol with year-round demand from both short-term and long-term tenants. Properties in Montealto with sea views and a communal pool are well suited to holiday letting, subject to obtaining the appropriate tourist licence from the Junta de Andalucía. We recommend speaking with a local letting agent to assess realistic occupancy and yield figures for this specific unit.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, you will need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which can be obtained through the Spanish consulate in your home country or in person in Spain. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation contract and deposit secures the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), in which a further payment is typically made. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the remaining balance is paid and ownership transfers. We advise appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to oversee due diligence throughout.
