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% of the purchase price. ITP does not apply. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800) and legal fees (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 — so it is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers typically need a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price, as Spanish lenders generally finance a maximum of 60–70% of the valuation for non-residents. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain are broadly in the range of 3.5–4.5%. We recommend obtaining an Agreement in Principle before you make a formal offer.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are listed as nil in the current listing record. The annual IBI (council tax) figure is not yet available for this property; ask the agent for the latest assessment. Basura (rubbish collection) charges are also to be confirmed. As a new build, some of these figures may only become available once the development is registered.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who cannot travel to Fuengirola immediately. We can also arrange an in-person viewing at the development in Carvajal at a time that suits you. Contact us to book either option.
Is this apartment suitable as a rental investment?
Carvajal is a tourist-active coastal area on the Costa del Sol, with demand from both short-term holiday visitors and longer-stay residents throughout the year. A tourist rental licence (licencia de alquiler turístico) would be required for short-term lets; requirements are set by the Junta de Andalucía. We recommend taking advice from a local property lawyer before committing to a rental strategy.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, you will need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which can be obtained via a Spanish consulate or in person in Spain. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation contract and payment secures the property while due diligence is carried out. This is typically followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa) in which a further deposit is paid. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, who registers the title deed. Using an independent Spanish property lawyer throughout is strongly advised.
