Frequently Asked Questions
What are the total purchase costs?
For this new build at EUR 300,000, you will pay 10% IVA (EUR 30,000), stamp duty of 1.5%, notary fees around EUR 900, land registry approximately EUR 650, and legal fees of about EUR 3,630. Total estimated costs come to approximately EUR 39,680.
Can I get a mortgage?
Non-resident buyers can typically borrow up to 60-70% of the purchase price. For this apartment at EUR 300,000, a 60% mortgage would be EUR 180,000, requiring a deposit of EUR 120,000. At current variable rates around 4%, monthly repayments over 25 years would be approximately EUR 950. Spanish banks require proof of income, tax returns, and a credit report from your home country.
What are the running costs?
Annual running costs for this apartment include: IBI property tax is estimated at EUR 500-900 per year; community fees are typically EUR 40-100 per month for apartments in Cuevas Del Almanzora; home insurance runs EUR 200-400 annually; utility bills (electricity, water, internet) average EUR 150-250 per month.

How can I arrange a viewing?
Contact Maya Kallio to arrange an in-person viewing of this apartment in Desert Spring Golf. Video viewings are also available for overseas buyers who cannot visit immediately. Viewings can usually be arranged within 24-48 hours.
Is this a good rental investment?
Cuevas Del Almanzora is primarily a residential area. Long-term rentals are more common than holiday lets. A 2-bedroom apartment could appeal to long-term tenants, especially retirees or workers. Rental income is subject to Spanish tax for non-residents. Consult a local agent for current demand levels.
What is the buying process in Spain?
The Spanish buying process starts with obtaining an NIE (foreigner identification number). After agreeing a price, you sign a reservation contract with a deposit (typically EUR 3,000-6,000). The next step is the arras contract, where you pay 10% of the price. Completion takes place at a notary, where the escritura (title deed) is signed and the balance paid. The whole process typically takes 6-10 weeks from reservation to completion.
