Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the asking price?
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. Both AJD and IVA rates are set by the autonomous region of Andalucía, not the province or the town. 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 — and it is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers in Spain typically need to provide a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price, as Spanish lenders generally finance up to 60–70% for non-residents. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain range broadly from around 3.5% to 4.5%, though your own rate will depend on your lender, financial profile, and the loan term. We recommend speaking to a Spanish mortgage broker before making an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently listed at zero for this development; confirm the final figure with the developer before exchange. Annual IBI (council tax) has not yet been assessed for this new-build property and will be confirmed once the catastral reference is registered. Basura (refuse collection) charges are also to be confirmed. Budget for utility set-up costs, which are standard for new-build completions.
Can I view the property remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who cannot travel to Benalmádena in person. These are conducted live via video call and cover all rooms, the solarium, the communal pool area, and the exterior of the building. Contact us to arrange a time that suits your schedule.
Is this property suitable for holiday letting?
Benalmádena is within Andalucía's established short-term rental zone, and Rancho Domingo's position between the coast and the town centre makes it relevant to the holiday-rental market. A tourist licence from the Junta de Andalucía is required before letting begins. Demand in Benalmádena is broadly year-round given the area's mix of beach visitors and golf tourists; your agent can put you in touch with local rental management companies who can advise on realistic occupancy patterns.
What is the buying process in Spain?
The first practical step is obtaining a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which is required before any property transaction can complete. Once you have agreed a price, a reservation deposit (typically EUR 3,000–6,000) takes the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract, often an arras agreement, under which the buyer pays roughly 10% of the purchase price; if the seller withdraws at this stage, they return double the amount. The final step is signing the public deed (escritura) before a notary, at which point the balance is paid and ownership transfers. Using an independent Spanish solicitor throughout is strongly advised.
