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% of the purchase price. ITP does not apply. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and legal fees of 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 budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer in Spain?
Non-resident buyers in Spain typically need to provide 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 range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5% per annum, though rates vary by lender and individual circumstances. An independent mortgage broker with experience in the Spanish market can compare options across lenders.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently set at nil. The annual IBI (council tax) and refuse collection charges are not yet confirmed for this new-build property; the agent can provide these figures once they are available from the local authority.
Can I view the apartment remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. OceanHome can arrange a live video viewing via WhatsApp, FaceTime, or Zoom at a time that suits you. This allows you to walk through the apartment and the communal areas with an agent in real time. An in-person visit can then be arranged once you are ready to proceed.
Is this apartment suitable as a holiday rental investment?
Fuengirola is a designated tourist municipality on the Costa del Sol with year-round rental demand. A property of this size in La Calerita could be considered for short-term letting, provided the owner obtains the required tourist rental licence from the Junta de Andalucía. The agent can outline the registration process, but we do not quote projected yield figures, as occupancy rates depend on management, season, and market conditions.
What are the main steps in the purchase process?
First, you will need an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is the tax identification number required for all property transactions in Spain. Once you have agreed a price, 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 a further deposit — typically 10% of the purchase price — is paid. The transaction completes before a notary, who reads the title deed (escritura) and transfers legal ownership. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to carry out due diligence before committing funds.
