Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for beyond 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% of the purchase price. ITP does not apply. In addition, allow for 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 are worth checking before you budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers can typically borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Interest rates for Spanish mortgages currently range broadly between 3.5% and 4.5%, depending on the lender and whether the rate is fixed or variable. We can refer you to a specialist mortgage broker with experience in non-resident applications.
What are the ongoing running costs for this property?
Community fees are currently set at zero for this development; buyers should verify this directly with the developer before exchange. No IBI (annual property tax) figure is yet available as the catastral reference has not been assigned to this new-build property. A basura (refuse collection) charge will be levied by the local municipality once the property is registered; the amount varies and should be confirmed with Benalmádena town hall.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who cannot travel immediately. We can walk through the show unit or the completed property with you in real time, share the development's specification documents, and answer questions on camera. In-person appointments at Puerto Marina are available by arrangement.
Is this property suitable for holiday rental?
Puerto Marina is a high-demand tourist area with year-round footfall from the marina, beach, and nearby attractions, which can make top-floor sea-view properties attractive to short-term renters. However, you will need a tourist rental licence from the Junta de Andalucía and must comply with any community rules on letting. We recommend speaking to a local property manager about achievable occupancy before making any assumptions about rental income.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, you will need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which can be obtained at a Spanish consulate or in person in Spain. Once you agree a price, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (typically arras), at which point a further payment is made — commonly 10% of the purchase price in total. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the remaining balance is paid and the title deeds are signed over. We strongly recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to act on your behalf throughout.
