Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs apply to this property?
As a new-build, this penthouse is subject to IVA at 10% rather than ITP. On a purchase price of EUR 899,000, that amounts to approximately EUR 89,900 in VAT. Additional costs include notary fees (EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (EUR 400–800), and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT. Total purchase costs typically run to 12–14% above the agreed price.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish lenders typically offer non-residents up to 60–70% loan-to-value, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is required. On a purchase price of EUR 899,000 that equates to a minimum deposit of roughly EUR 269,700 to EUR 359,600. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5% annually, though rates vary by lender and applicant profile.
What are the ongoing running costs for this penthouse?
Community fees are currently listed at EUR 0 per month; buyers should confirm the final figure directly with the developer before exchanging contracts. The annual IBI (council tax) is not yet available for this new-build and should be requested from the agent or local town hall. Annual refuse collection (basura) charges are also to be confirmed.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. OceanHome offers video viewings for buyers who are unable to visit in person. Our agents can conduct a live video walkthrough of the property or share a recorded tour on request. In-person viewings can be arranged with advance notice; contact us to book a time.
Is this property suitable as a rental investment?
Arroyo Vaquero sits on the New Golden Mile, a coastal corridor that attracts holiday visitors throughout the year, with peak demand from June to September and significant winter rental interest from longer-stay guests. A tourist licence would be required for short-term rentals in Andalusia; your legal adviser can guide you through the application process. We do not quote yield percentages as these depend on management costs, occupancy levels, and individual circumstances.
What does the purchase process involve in Spain?
The first step is obtaining a NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), the tax identification number required for all property transactions in Spain. Once an offer is agreed, a reservation contract is signed and a small deposit is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point typically 10% of the price is paid. The transaction completes before a notary, who registers the title in the buyer's name. The full process from reservation to completion generally takes 4–12 weeks, though it can be longer if the development is still under construction.
