Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs apply to this penthouse?
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 tax, budget for notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), Land Registry fees (typically EUR 400–800) and legal fees of around 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 I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers typically need a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price, as Spanish lenders usually finance up to 60–70% for non-residents. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish banks are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though individual offers vary. An independent mortgage broker with experience in Spanish property is worth consulting early in the process.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are estimated at EUR 165 per month, covering shared facilities including the communal pool, jacuzzi and sauna. Annual IBI (local property tax) is estimated at EUR 1,200. Both figures are marked as estimated. There is no basura (refuse) fee on record — confirm the current charge with the agent.
How do I arrange a viewing?
Contact OceanHome to book an in-person viewing at a time that suits you. If you are outside Spain, we can arrange a live video viewing so you can walk through the property remotely and ask questions in real time.
Is this penthouse suitable for holiday rental?
Puerto Deportivo is a popular tourist area close to Fuengirola's marina and beaches, which supports demand for short-term holiday lets. Owners wishing to rent the property must obtain a tourist licence from the Junta de Andalucía before advertising. We recommend taking local legal advice on licence requirements and any community rules before purchasing with rental income in mind.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, obtain a Spanish tax identification number (NIE) — this is required before any purchase can complete. You then pay a reservation fee to take the property off the market, followed by a private purchase contract (arras) where typically 10% of the purchase price is paid to secure the transaction. The balance is paid on the day of completion before a notary, who registers the title deed. Using an independent Spanish solicitor throughout the process is strongly advised.
