Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs apply to this property?
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. Both rates are set by the Autonomous Community of Andalucía, not the province. Additional costs typically include notary fees (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 — and it is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers can typically obtain a mortgage for 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of around 30–40% is required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish lenders range broadly between 3.5% and 4.5% AER, depending on your financial profile and the lender. We can refer you to an independent Spanish mortgage broker for a personalised assessment.
What are the ongoing running costs for this property?
Community fees are currently listed at EUR 0 per month; buyers should confirm the final figure with the developer before signing. IBI (council tax) has not yet been assessed as the building is new — request a developer estimate for budgeting purposes. A basura (rubbish collection) charge will also apply once assessed by the local authority. The energy rating is G.
How can I arrange a viewing?
Viewings can be arranged in person or by video call. Contact OceanHome to book a date that suits you. For video viewings, we conduct a live walkthrough of the property and the development's communal areas so you can assess the space in detail before travelling.
Is this property suitable for holiday rental?
Carvajal's coastal position and proximity to Málaga Airport make properties here popular with short-term holiday renters. The Andalucía regional government requires a tourist licence for holiday rentals, and applications must be made before letting. We recommend consulting a local lawyer to confirm current licensing requirements and any restrictions that apply within this development.
What are the main steps in the purchase process?
First, obtain an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), the tax identification number required for all Spanish property transactions. Once your offer is agreed, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point typically 10% of the purchase price is paid. The final balance is paid at completion before a notary, who registers the transaction and transfers legal title. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to handle due diligence and liaise with the developer throughout.
