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%. ITP does not apply. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT. Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet the region's conditions — for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — and are worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers in Spain typically need a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price, as Spanish lenders generally finance up to 60–70% for non-residents. Variable and fixed mortgage rates currently range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%, depending on the lender and your financial profile. We recommend speaking with a mortgage broker familiar with cross-border lending before making an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Estimated community fees are EUR 135 per month, covering maintenance of the communal areas, pool, and shared facilities. The estimated annual IBI (council tax) is EUR 1,890. Both figures are estimates at this stage. There is no confirmed basura (refuse collection charge) figure available for this listing.
How can I arrange a viewing?
Viewings can be arranged in person on site in Carvajal, or remotely via a live video viewing if you are unable to travel. Contact us to book either option at a time that suits you.
Is this apartment suitable for holiday letting?
Carvajal and the wider Fuengirola area attract strong visitor numbers from late spring through early autumn, and the proximity to Málaga Airport — around 20 minutes — makes it accessible for short-stay guests. The communal pool, solarium and sea views are features that tend to support rental demand. Rental income depends on your pricing, occupancy, and management approach; we can introduce you to local letting agents who can give you realistic figures for the area.
What does the purchase process look like in Spain?
You will first need an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), a tax identification number required for all property transactions in Spain. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation deposit is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point a further deposit — typically 10% of the purchase price — is paid. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the remaining balance and all taxes and fees are settled. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to act on your behalf throughout.
