Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of 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. On top of those taxes, allow roughly EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for land registry fees and around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT for legal fees. 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 in Spain?
Non-resident buyers typically need to fund 30–40% of the purchase price from their own resources, as Spanish lenders generally cap lending at 60–70% of the valuation for non-residents. Variable and fixed mortgage rates currently range between approximately 3.5% and 4.5% annually, though rates vary by lender and applicant profile. A Spanish mortgage broker can obtain indicative offers before you commit.
What are the ongoing running costs for this penthouse?
Community fees for this development are currently recorded as nil, though this should be confirmed in writing before exchange, as service charges on new-build complexes are sometimes set after the first general meeting of owners. The annual IBI (council tax) figure is not yet available for this property. Utility contracts for electricity, water and any home automation services will be set up separately on completion.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. Video viewings are available for buyers who cannot travel to Carvajal in person. Our agents can conduct a live video walkthrough of the show unit or the completed property, share developer plans and answer questions in real time. In-person viewings can be arranged at short notice for those already on the Costa del Sol.
Is this penthouse suitable as a rental investment?
Carvajal's seafront location, Cercanías rail access and proximity to Fuengirola town centre make it well placed for short-term holiday lets. The Costa del Sol sees strong rental demand across most of the year, with peak periods running from June through September and around major Spanish public holidays. A local holiday lettings agent can provide occupancy data specific to this stretch of coast. Note that tourist rental licences in Andalucía must be obtained before any paid letting can begin.
What are the main steps in the purchase process?
First, obtain a Spanish NIE (foreigner identification number), which is required for all property transactions. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation payment takes the property off the market while legal checks are carried out. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), typically accompanied by a deposit of around 10% of the purchase price. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, at which point the remaining balance, taxes and fees are paid and keys are handed over. Independent legal representation is strongly recommended throughout.
