Frequently Asked Questions
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 typically include notary fees (EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (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 it is worth checking these before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers can typically access Spanish mortgages, though lenders generally require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain are broadly in the range of 3.5–4.5%. We recommend speaking with a Spanish mortgage broker early in the process to establish your borrowing position.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently listed as zero — buyers should verify this directly with the developer before exchange, as service charges may be set once the development is complete. IBI (annual property tax) and basura (waste collection) charges have not yet been assigned to this new-build property; the agent can advise on expected figures once available. The energy rating is G.
Can I view this apartment remotely?
Yes. In addition to in-person viewings, we can arrange a live video viewing of the development and any show apartment. Contact us to book a time that suits you, whether you are based in the UK or elsewhere.
Does this apartment have rental potential?
El Higuerón is a recognised tourist area with an active short-let market, supported by the Higuerón Sport complex and its hotel facilities. New-build apartments of this size in the area are used by owners both as holiday lets and long-term rentals. We do not provide yield projections, but the agent can share rental market context and refer you to a local management company.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), obtainable through a Spanish consulate or in person in Spain. The process typically begins with a reservation agreement and payment of a reservation fee to secure the property, followed by a private purchase contract at which a further deposit is paid. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the balance is transferred and the title deed (escritura) is signed. We strongly recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to act on your behalf throughout.
