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%. ITP does not apply. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), property registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and legal fees at approximately 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 budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident?
Non-resident buyers can typically obtain mortgages for Spanish property, though lenders generally require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Variable and fixed interest rates currently range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%, depending on the lender and your financial profile. It is advisable to obtain a mortgage agreement in principle before making an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs for this property?
Community fees are currently nil. IBI (annual council tax) and basura (refuse collection) figures are not yet confirmed for this new-build property; the agent can provide updated figures once available. You should also allow for utility connection costs as a new build.
Can I view this property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who cannot travel immediately. Our agents can walk through the development, show the communal areas, and discuss the floor plan and surrounding neighbourhood in real time. Contact us to arrange a convenient time.
Does this property have rental potential?
Arroyo Vaquero's location between Estepona and Marbella, close to the coast and within 20 minutes of Málaga AGP, means there is consistent demand for short-term holiday rentals in this area. A tourist rental licence is required and must be obtained from the relevant Andalucían authority before letting. The agent can advise on the licensing process and local rental market conditions.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which can be obtained through a Spanish consulate or in person in Spain. Once you have agreed a price, a reservation fee is typically paid to take the property off the market, followed by a formal deposit contract (arras) in which 10% of the purchase price is usually paid. The balance is transferred at completion before a notary, who registers the transaction officially. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to represent your interests throughout.
