Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the sale 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), land registry fees (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 — worth checking before you budget.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Spanish banks typically lend non-residents up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain generally range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%, though the exact terms depend on your financial profile and the lender.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Estimated community fees are EUR 135 per month, covering shared facilities including the pool, gymnasium, sauna and lift maintenance. Estimated annual IBI (local property tax) is EUR 2,030. Please note these figures are estimates and may vary once the development is fully registered and the local authority issues final assessments.
Can I view this property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who are unable to travel at this stage. Contact our Fuengirola office to arrange a live walkthrough with one of our agents, who can focus on the rooms and views most important to you.
What is the rental potential in Carvajal?
Carvajal is a recognised coastal tourist area within the Fuengirola municipality. Properties here attract both short-term holiday rentals and longer-term seasonal lets, particularly given the proximity to Playa de Carvajal and the commuter rail link. A tourist licence from the Junta de Andalucía is required for short-term holiday rentals. We recommend consulting a local property manager for realistic occupancy and yield projections specific to this development.
What does the purchase process involve for overseas buyers?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which your solicitor can apply for on your behalf. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation fee is typically paid to take the property off the market, followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa) under which a further deposit is paid — usually 10% of the purchase price. The balance is paid at the notary on completion, when title transfers to you. We strongly recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor before signing any documents.
