Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs for a new-build property in Andalucía?
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. In addition, expect 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 — and it is worth checking before you budget.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage to buy this apartment?
Non-resident buyers can typically access mortgage financing from Spanish lenders, though most banks require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Variable and fixed interest rates currently range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5% per annum, though this varies by lender and applicant profile. We recommend speaking with an independent mortgage broker who specialises in cross-border transactions.
What are the ongoing running costs for this property?
Community fees for this development are currently recorded as nil. The annual IBI (local property tax) figure has not yet been confirmed for this unit; please ask the agent for the latest information. Basura (waste collection) charges are also unconfirmed at this stage. Buyers should factor in utility connection costs and any applicable home insurance.
How can I arrange a viewing of this apartment?
Viewings can be arranged in person at a time convenient to you. If you are based outside Spain or would prefer a preliminary look before travelling, we can also organise a live video viewing via WhatsApp or video call. Contact our Fuengirola team to confirm your preferred date and format.
Is this property suitable as a holiday rental investment?
El Higuerón falls within the Fuengirola tourist zone, and short-term holiday rentals are an active market in this area. To let the property on a short-term basis you will need to obtain a Vivienda con Fines Turísticos (VFT) licence from the Junta de Andalucía and register the property on the regional tourism register. Rental demand in the area is driven by beach visitors and the proximity to Málaga airport. We do not quote projected yield percentages, but your legal adviser or a local rental management company can provide realistic income estimates based on comparable properties.
What is the purchase process for buying a new-build apartment in Spain?
The process begins with obtaining an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), a Spanish tax identification number that all foreign buyers require. Once you agree to proceed, a reservation contract is signed and a reservation deposit is paid to secure the property. This is followed by a private purchase contract (contrato de arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point a further stage payment is typically made. On completion, the deed (escritura) is signed before a Spanish notary and the balance of the purchase price is paid. The notary submits the deed for registration in the Land Registry. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to act on your behalf throughout.
