Frequently Asked Questions
What are the total purchase costs on top of the asking price?
As a new-build property in Andalusia, you pay IVA at 10% instead of ITP transfer tax. On a purchase price of EUR 499,000, that adds EUR 49,900 in VAT. On top of that, allow approximately EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for land registry fees, and around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT for legal representation. Total additional costs typically fall in the range of EUR 56,000–57,000.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish banks generally lend up to 60–70% of the purchase price to non-residents, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is required. On EUR 499,000, that equates to a deposit of roughly EUR 150,000–200,000. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5% annually, though terms vary by lender and applicant profile.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently recorded as EUR 0 per year; buyers should verify the final figure directly with the developer before contracts are signed, as this is a new-build development and fees may be set once the community is formally constituted. The annual IBI (council tax) figure is not yet available and should also be confirmed with the developer or local town hall. Basura (refuse collection) charges have not been provided.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. Our agents can arrange a video viewing of the development and any show unit at a time that suits you. In-person viewings are also available by appointment. Contact us to schedule either option.
Does this property have rental potential?
El Higuerón and the wider Fuengirola area are popular with tourists and short-stay visitors due to the proximity to Málaga airport and the Costa del Sol coastline. New-build apartments in this area are frequently used as holiday lets. Rental income will depend on factors including furnishing standard, management arrangements and seasonal demand. We recommend speaking to a local rental management agency for realistic occupancy and income estimates specific to this development.
How does the purchase process work for this new-build?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which can be obtained at a Spanish consulate or in person in Spain. Once you have selected your unit, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit paid, typically EUR 3,000–6,000. A private purchase contract follows with a further stage payment, often 10–20% of the price. The remaining balance is paid at notary on completion, when ownership transfers and keys are handed over. We strongly recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor throughout the process.
