Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for on top of 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%, both set by the Autonomous Community of Andalucía. ITP does not apply to new-build purchases. 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 — and are worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers in Spain can typically borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is generally required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish lenders are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though your individual offer will depend on your financial profile and the lender. We can refer you to an independent mortgage broker with experience in cross-border purchases.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees for this development are currently set at zero. IBI (annual council tax) and basura (waste collection) figures are not yet confirmed, as this is a new build; your solicitor can obtain an estimate from the local council. You should also budget for utility connections and contents insurance once you take ownership.
Can I view this apartment remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings by appointment, which can be arranged at a time that suits you. Our agent will walk through the apartment and the communal areas live and can answer questions in real time. In-person viewings in El Higuerón are also available seven days a week.
Is this apartment suitable as a rental investment?
El Higuerón is an established tourist area on the Costa del Sol, and short-term holiday letting is permitted subject to obtaining a Junta de Andalucía tourist licence before advertising the property. Demand in this area runs across a long season given the proximity to Málaga Airport and the coastal path. We recommend speaking to a local letting agent for current occupancy data before making projections.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which is required to sign any legal documents in Spain. Once terms are agreed, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit paid to take the property off the market. A formal private purchase agreement (arras contract) follows, under which the buyer typically pays 10% of the purchase price. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, at which point the balance and all applicable taxes are paid and the title deed is signed. We strongly recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to represent you throughout.
