Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs for this apartment?
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 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 obtain a mortgage to buy this property?
Non-resident buyers can typically borrow 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 are broadly in the range of 3.5–4.5%, though exact terms depend on your lender and financial profile. We recommend obtaining a mortgage agreement in principle before making an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are estimated at 270 EUR per month, which covers maintenance of the communal pools, gym, sauna, tennis court and gardens. Annual IBI (council tax) is estimated at 1,190 EUR. Please note both figures are estimates. Utility costs will depend on usage.
How can I arrange a viewing?
Viewings can be arranged in person at the Castillo de Sohail complex in Fuengirola. If you are based outside Spain, we can organise a live video viewing via WhatsApp or video call so you can walk through the apartment and ask questions in real time. Contact us to book a date that suits you.
What is the rental potential for this apartment?
Castillo de Sohail is a well-established short-term rental area. The combination of direct beach access at 100 metres, a large communal amenity offering and proximity to Fuengirola town centre supports demand throughout a long season. A tourist rental licence (Vivienda con Fines Turísticos) is required in Andalucía for short-term letting; your solicitor can advise on the registration process.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation contract is signed and a reservation fee is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point a further deposit is typically paid. Completion takes place before a notary, who registers the transfer with the land registry. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor before signing any documents.
