Frequently Asked Questions
What are the total purchase costs on top of the asking price?
As a new build in Andalusia, this penthouse is subject to IVA (VAT) at 10% rather than transfer tax. On EUR 1,999,000 that adds EUR 199,900. Stamp duty (AJD) is approximately 1.5%, equating to around EUR 29,985. Additional costs include notary fees (EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (EUR 400–800) and legal/conveyancing fees, typically around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT. Budget for total purchase costs of approximately 13–15% above the asking price.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish banks generally lend up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation to non-residents, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is typically required. On EUR 1,999,000 that equates to a minimum deposit of roughly EUR 600,000 to EUR 800,000. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5% annually, though this varies by lender and applicant profile.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently stated as EUR 0; buyers should verify this directly with the developer, as charges may apply once the building is operational. The annual IBI (council tax) has not yet been assessed by the local authority and will be confirmed once the property receives its final rateable value. Buyers should also allow for annual building insurance and the rubbish collection tax (basura), which has not been provided.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. OceanHome offers video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who are not yet in Spain. Contact us to arrange a live walkthrough with one of our agents on the ground in Fuengirola. In-person viewings in Carvajal can also be scheduled at short notice.
Is this property suitable as a holiday rental investment?
Carvajal is within the Costa del Sol tourist zone, and properties in this area can qualify for a tourist licence (Vivienda con Fines Turísticos) subject to local authority approval. Demand for short-term rentals is seasonal, peaking between June and September. Buyers should check the community regulations and the Junta de Andalucía licensing requirements before planning a rental strategy. OceanHome can connect you with a local property manager for an independent assessment.
What are the main steps in the purchase process?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which can be obtained at a Spanish consulate or in person in Spain. Once your offer is accepted, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit is paid, typically EUR 5,000 to EUR 10,000. This is followed by the arras contract, where around 10% of the purchase price is paid, and the sale becomes binding on both parties. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the remaining balance and all taxes are settled and the title deeds are transferred. A Spanish lawyer acting solely in your interest is strongly recommended throughout.
