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%. ITP does not apply. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically 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 — and are worth checking before you budget.
Can I get a mortgage on this property as a non-resident?
Non-resident buyers 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 for non-residents in Spain range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%, though individual lender terms vary. A Spanish mortgage broker can provide indicative offers before you commit.
What are the expected running costs?
Community fees are currently recorded as zero; buyers should verify the final service charge schedule with the developer, as this figure may be updated once the development is fully operational. IBI (local property tax) and basura (refuse) figures have not yet been assigned to this new-build property. These will be set by Fuengirola's local authority following completion and registration.
Can I view this apartment remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings by appointment, allowing you to tour the apartment and communal areas in real time via video call. A show unit or CGI walkthrough may also be available from the developer. Contact us to arrange either option.
What is the rental potential of this apartment?
El Higuerón sits within a recognised tourist zone on the Costa del Sol, and properties in this area attract both short-term holiday lets and longer-term rental demand from professionals commuting to Málaga. A tourist licence from the Junta de Andalucía is required before listing on short-term rental platforms. Our agent can advise on the application process and local letting demand.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which can be obtained at a consulate or in person in Spain. The process typically begins with a reservation agreement and payment of a holding deposit, followed by a private purchase contract (arras) in which a larger stage payment is made. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the balance is paid and ownership transfers. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor before signing any documents.
