Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs apply to this property?
As a new-build, this penthouse is subject to IVA at 10% of the purchase price (EUR 72,000), rather than the resale transfer tax. Additional costs include notary fees of approximately EUR 600 to 1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400 to 800, and solicitor or legal fees of around 1% of the price plus VAT. Budget for total purchase costs of roughly 12 to 13% on top of the EUR 720,000 price.
Can I get a mortgage on this property as a non-resident?
Non-resident buyers can typically obtain a Spanish mortgage on a property priced at EUR 720,000, though lenders generally require a deposit of 30 to 40% (EUR 216,000 to EUR 288,000). Current variable and fixed rates range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%. We can introduce you to independent mortgage brokers who work with international buyers.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently listed at EUR 0; buyers must verify the final figure with the developer before completion. IBI (council tax) and basura (rubbish collection) charges are not yet available for this new-build and should be requested from the agent prior to exchange.
Can I view this property remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who cannot visit in person. We can also arrange an accompanied in-person viewing at a time that suits you. Contact the OceanHome team to book either option.
What is the rental potential of this penthouse?
Arroyo Vaquero's position between Estepona and Casares, combined with easy access to Málaga Airport in around 20 minutes, makes this penthouse a viable candidate for short-term holiday lets. Rental income will depend on licensing approval, management costs, and seasonal demand. We recommend speaking to a local rental management company for realistic projections before purchase.
What steps are involved in buying this property?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which can be obtained via a Spanish consulate or a local solicitor. Once you agree terms, a reservation deposit (typically EUR 5,000 to 10,000) secures the property. A private purchase contract (arras) is then signed, usually with a 10% deposit paid at that stage. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the balance and all taxes are paid and title is transferred.
