Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs for this penthouse?
As a new-build property in Malaga province, you pay IVA (VAT) at 10% rather than transfer tax (ITP). On a price of EUR 867,000 that is EUR 86,700 in VAT. Add notary fees of approximately EUR 600 to 1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400 to 800, and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (approximately EUR 10,400 including VAT). Total acquisition costs are estimated at around EUR 960,000 to EUR 965,000 depending on final legal and notary charges.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish banks typically lend non-residents up to 60 to 70% of the purchase price or valuation, meaning a deposit of 30 to 40% is required. On EUR 867,000 that equates to a minimum deposit of approximately EUR 260,000 to EUR 347,000. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain generally range from 3.5% to 4.5% annually, though terms vary by lender and applicant profile.
What are the ongoing running costs for this property?
The annual IBI (local property tax) has not been confirmed by the vendor and buyers should request this figure from the agent. Community fees are listed as EUR 0 per month, but we recommend confirming this directly with the developer as the development may not yet have an established community of owners. The annual basura (refuse collection) charge is also to be confirmed.
Can I arrange a viewing, and are video viewings available?
Yes. In-person viewings can be arranged through OceanHome at a time that suits you. If you are unable to travel to Selwo in person, we can arrange a live video viewing via WhatsApp or video call, during which an agent will walk through the property and answer questions in real time.
What is the rental potential for this penthouse?
Selwo is within the municipality of Estepona, which falls under Andalusian tourism regulations. To let the property on a short-term holiday basis, you will need to register with the Junta de Andalucía's tourist accommodation register and obtain a licence number. New-build penthouses in this corridor of the Costa del Sol are in demand as holiday lets, particularly given the 20-minute drive to Málaga airport. Rental income will vary by season, occupancy rate, and management arrangement. Please speak to our team for current market context.
What is the purchase process for buyers new to Spain?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which can be obtained at a Spanish consulate in your country or at a police station in Spain, typically with the help of a lawyer. Once you have agreed the price, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit (usually EUR 3,000 to 6,000) is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point 10% of the agreed price is typically exchanged. The transaction is then completed before a notary, who registers the title deed in the land registry. We strongly recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor throughout this process.
