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. On top of those taxes, allow roughly EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for land registry registration, and around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT for legal representation. 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 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. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish banks sit broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though your own bank and a Spanish mortgage broker are both worth approaching for a comparison.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Estimated community fees are EUR 140 per month, covering shared facilities including the pools, gymnasium, tennis court and common areas. Estimated annual IBI (council tax) is EUR 1,890. These figures are estimates at this stage of the development and may be revised once the community is formally constituted. Utility contracts for electricity and water are arranged separately by each owner.
Can I view the apartment before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings via video call for buyers who cannot travel immediately, using recorded walkthrough footage and a live call with one of our agents on site. In-person viewings can be arranged on request, including weekend appointments. Contact us to confirm availability and book a slot.
Is this apartment suitable as a rental investment?
Castillo de Sohail is within Fuengirola's tourist rental zone, and the beachfront position — 100 metres from Playa de Sohail — supports strong seasonal demand. A tourist rental licence will be required from the Junta de Andalucía before letting commercially. Rental income varies with occupancy, pricing and management approach, and we recommend speaking to a local lettings agent for current market data before making income assumptions.
What is the typical purchase process for a new-build in Spain?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which can be obtained at a Spanish consulate in your country or in person at a Spanish police station. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation fee takes the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), under which staged payments are typically made during construction. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the remaining balance, taxes and fees are paid and the keys handed over. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor before signing any document.
