Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs for this new-build penthouse?
As a new build in Andalucía, this purchase carries IVA (VAT) at 10% of the purchase price plus AJD stamp duty at 1.2%. ITP does not apply. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and legal fees at 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 — and it is worth checking before you budget.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Spanish lenders typically offer non-residents a loan-to-value ratio of 60–70%, meaning a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price is usually required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates for non-residents generally fall in the range of 3.5–4.5%, though rates vary by lender and individual circumstances. We can introduce you to independent mortgage brokers who specialise in cross-border purchases.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently set at zero for this development. IBI (council tax) and basura (waste collection) figures have not yet been confirmed for this new-build property; please ask the agent for the latest information. Utility contracts for electricity and water will need to be set up on completion.
Can I view this property remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who are not able to travel to the Costa del Sol at this stage. A member of our team can walk through the development and the show unit on a live video call, or we can send a pre-recorded walkthrough. In-person viewings can be arranged with advance notice.
Is this property suitable for holiday rental?
Arroyo Vaquero falls within the tourist rental belt of the western Costa del Sol, and demand for short-term lets in this corridor is consistent across the year. A tourist rental licence from the Junta de Andalucía is required before letting. Licensing requirements and registration processes are set at regional level; we recommend taking legal advice before committing to a rental strategy.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, you will need an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is required for any property transaction in Spain and can be obtained at a Spanish consulate or in person in Spain. Once you agree to proceed, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point a further percentage of the price is typically paid. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the balance is transferred and the title deeds are signed. Registration with the land registry follows completion.
