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. 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 — so it is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Spanish lenders generally offer non-residents a loan-to-value of 60–70%, meaning a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price is typically required. Current variable and fixed rates for non-resident mortgages in Spain range broadly between 3.5% and 4.5% depending on the lender, loan term, and your financial profile. We recommend obtaining a mortgage agreement in principle before reserving.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently stated at zero; buyers should verify this directly with the developer before exchange. IBI (council tax) figures are not yet available as the property has not yet received a catastro valuation. Buyers should budget for IBI once the property is registered. Utility connection costs for a new build should also be factored in.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who cannot travel to Benalmádena immediately. We can walk through the show apartment and the development's communal areas in real time. In-person viewings can be arranged on weekdays and most Saturdays with advance notice.
Is this property suitable as a rental investment?
Benalmádena is a tourist municipality and short-term rentals require a licence from the Junta de Andalucía. Demand along the Costa del Sol means furnished new-build apartments in well-connected areas do attract rental interest, particularly during the summer season. We can provide guidance on the licensing process, but we do not quote projected yields as these depend on occupancy rates that vary year to year.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which can be obtained via a Spanish consulate or in person at a provincial police station. Once you have identified the property, a reservation agreement is signed and a holding deposit paid to take it off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa) and a further staged payment, with the balance paid at notary on completion. We strongly recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to carry out due diligence and represent your interests throughout.
