Frequently Asked Questions
What are the estimated purchase costs on top of the asking price?
As a new build in Andalusia, this property is subject to IVA at 10% (EUR 59,000) rather than ITP. Additional costs include 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 (approximately EUR 7,260 including VAT at 21%). In total, buyers should budget for roughly EUR 68,000–70,000 in purchase costs on top of the EUR 590,000 asking price.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish banks typically lend up to 60–70% of the purchase price to non-residents, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is generally required. On EUR 590,000, that equates to EUR 177,000–236,000 upfront. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%, though individual offers vary by lender and applicant profile. We can refer you to independent mortgage brokers with experience in cross-border finance.
What are the running costs once I own the property?
Community fees are currently listed at EUR 0 per month, though buyers should confirm the final service charge schedule with the developer, as this figure may change once the development is handed over. IBI (annual council tax) has not yet been confirmed for this unit; the figure will be set by Fuengirola Town Hall following completion. Utility bills (water, electricity, internet) are estimated at EUR 100–200 per month depending on usage.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who cannot travel to the Costa del Sol immediately. Our agents can walk through the show unit and the wider development site in real time and answer questions as they go. In-person viewings can be arranged with advance notice.
Is this property suitable as a rental investment?
El Higuerón is within the Fuengirola tourist zone, and short-term holiday lets are permitted subject to obtaining a Junta de Andalucía tourist licence (Vivienda con Fines Turísticos). The proximity to Carvajal beach, the resort facilities, and Málaga Airport makes this area attractive for holiday rental demand. We do not quote yield figures, but we can introduce you to local rental management companies who can provide realistic occupancy estimates based on comparable properties.
What steps are involved in buying this property?
First, you will need an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), the tax identification number required for all property transactions in Spain. Once you have agreed to proceed, a reservation deposit (typically EUR 6,000–10,000) 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 a further deposit is usually paid. The transaction completes before a Spanish notary, who witnesses the signing of the escritura (title deed). Your solicitor will then register the deed at the Land Registry on your behalf.
