Frequently Asked Questions

What are the purchase costs on top of the EUR 524,000 price?
As a new build in Andalusia, you pay IVA at 10% (EUR 52,400) rather than transfer tax. Add notary fees of approximately EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of approximately EUR 400–800, and solicitor fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (approximately EUR 5,240 + VAT). Budget for total purchase costs of roughly 12–13% on top of the asking price.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish lenders typically offer non-residents up to 60–70% loan-to-value on a property at this price point, meaning a deposit of 30–40% (approximately EUR 157,200–209,600) would be required. Current variable and fixed rates are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though terms vary by lender and applicant profile.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently listed at EUR 0 per year; buyers should verify the confirmed figure with the developer before exchange. No IBI (council tax) figure has been provided at this stage — the agent can request an estimate from the developer. You should also allow for annual building insurance and utility connections.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. OceanHome can arrange a live video viewing via WhatsApp or video call at a time that suits you, including a walkthrough of the development and surrounding area. In-person viewings in Santangelo Norte can be arranged with advance notice.
Is this apartment suitable as a rental investment?
Benalmádena is classified as a tourist area under Andalusian regional regulations, which means the property may be eligible for a tourist rental licence (Vivienda con Fines Turísticos). Ground-floor apartments with 3 bedrooms can attract both short-stay holiday rentals and longer-term tenants. You should confirm licence availability with a local lawyer before purchase.
How does the purchase process work in Spain?
You will first need an NIE (foreigner identification number), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once you agree terms, a reservation contract is signed and a deposit (typically EUR 3,000–6,000) is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras) where around 10% of the price is paid. The balance is paid at the notary on completion, when ownership transfers to you and the title is registered.
