Frequently Asked Questions
What are the total purchase costs on top of the EUR 457,100 asking price?
Because this is a new build in Málaga province, IVA applies at 10% rather than transfer tax (ITP). That adds approximately EUR 45,710 in VAT. On top of that, expect notary fees of EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400–800, and legal fees of roughly 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (around EUR 5,500 inclusive). Total acquisition costs are typically 12–13% above the purchase price.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish banks typically lend up to 60–70% of the purchase price to non-residents, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is required. On EUR 457,100 that equates to roughly EUR 137,000–183,000. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates for non-residents generally range from 3.5% to 4.5% APR, though exact terms depend on the lender and your financial profile.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently listed at EUR 0 per month. The annual IBI (council tax) figure has not yet been confirmed for this development. Utility contracts for water and electricity will be set up on completion. The energy rating is G, so utility bills are likely to be higher than in a more efficient property.
Can I arrange a viewing, and is a video viewing possible?
Yes. In-person viewings can be arranged at a time that suits you. If you are based outside Spain, we can also organise a live video viewing so you can see the property and ask questions in real time before committing to travel.
What is the rental potential in Rancho Domingo, Benalmádena?
Benalmádena is a well-established tourist destination on the Costa del Sol, and Rancho Domingo benefits from proximity to the coast, transport links, and leisure facilities. Short-term holiday lets are a common use for apartments in this area. You will need a Junta de Andalucía tourist licence to let legally on a short-term basis; your legal adviser can guide you through the registration process.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once you agree a 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), where a further deposit of around 10% is paid. The balance is settled at the notary on completion, when the title deed (escritura) is signed and keys are handed over.
