Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs apply to 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%, set by the Andalucían regional government. ITP does not apply. On top of tax, budget for notary fees of approximately EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of 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 — so it is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on 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 from Spanish lenders generally range between 3.5% and 4.5% annually, though rates vary by lender and applicant profile. We recommend taking independent financial advice before committing.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees for this unit are currently set at zero. The annual IBI (municipal property tax) figure is not yet confirmed, as the property has not received its first rateable assessment. Basura (rubbish collection) charges have not yet been confirmed either. We recommend asking the agent for the latest figures from the developer before exchange.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings by appointment for buyers who cannot travel to the Costa del Sol at short notice. A live video call with one of our agents on site can be arranged at a time that suits you. In-person viewings are also available seven days a week.
What is the rental potential in El Higuerón?
El Higuerón benefits from its position between Benalmádena and Fuengirola, two established coastal resorts with year-round visitor demand. Short-term tourist licences are subject to Andalucían regional regulations and local Fuengirola municipal rules, so you should confirm current licence availability with a local lawyer before purchase. Long-term rentals to workers and residents in the area are an alternative if tourist licensing proves restrictive.
What steps are involved in buying this property?
First, you will need an NIE number (foreign identification number), which can be obtained at a Spanish consulate or through a local gestoría. Once you agree a price, a reservation deposit is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point typically 10% of the purchase price is paid. The balance and taxes are settled at the notary when the title deed (escritura) is signed. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to act on your behalf throughout.
