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 Community of Andalucía. ITP does not apply to new builds. Notary fees typically run EUR 600–1,200; land registry fees EUR 400–800; and a solicitor or gestor usually charges around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT. These are rates and estimates; your legal adviser will confirm final figures. Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet Andalucía's conditions — for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — and it is worth checking before you budget.
Can non-residents get a mortgage to buy this property?
Spanish lenders typically offer non-residents a loan-to-value of 60–70%, meaning a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price is generally required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain run broadly between 3.5% and 4.5%, though individual offers vary by lender and applicant profile. We can introduce you to independent mortgage brokers with experience in cross-border purchases.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently listed at nil for this development; buyers should confirm whether a service charge will be set once the community of owners is formally constituted. IBI (annual council tax) has not yet been assessed for this new-build and is not confirmed; your solicitor can request an estimate from the Benalmádena town hall once the catastro reference is registered. Utility connections — electricity, water — will be metered individually.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who cannot travel at short notice. A member of the team will walk through the property with you live via video call, covering all rooms, the communal areas and the surrounding development. In-person viewings can be arranged on weekdays and weekends by appointment.
Is this property suitable for holiday rental?
Benalmádena is a licensed tourist area, and new-build properties can in principle be registered for short-term holiday rental with the Junta de Andalucía, subject to meeting the current technical requirements. Rancho Domingo's proximity to the A-7 and to the coast makes it attractive to visitors. Rental income and yield will depend on the licence obtained, the management approach chosen, and seasonal demand; we do not quote projected yields, but we can put you in touch with local rental management agencies.
What steps are involved in buying this property?
The process begins with obtaining a NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), the tax identification number required for any property purchase in Spain. Once you have agreed terms, you pay a reservation fee to take the property off the market, followed by a private purchase contract (contrato de arras) in which a further deposit — typically 10% of the purchase price — is exchanged and the completion date agreed. On the agreed date, both parties sign before a Spanish notary and the balance is transferred. The deed is then registered at the land registry. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to act solely in your interests throughout.
