Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs for 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%, set by the Andalucían regional government. 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 — worth checking before you budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers typically need a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price, as Spanish lenders generally finance up to 60–70% for non-residents. Current variable and fixed rates from Spanish banks are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though individual terms depend on your financial profile and the lender. A mortgage broker familiar with the Spanish market can help you compare options before you make an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently listed at nil for this unit; buyers should confirm the final figure with the developer before completion, as this is a new-build development and the figure may be subject to change. Annual IBI (council tax) and basura (refuse collection) charges are not yet available for this property — ask the agent for the latest information. Air conditioning and home automation systems will contribute to electricity costs; an energy rating of G indicates higher energy consumption relative to newer-spec buildings.
Can I view the apartment remotely?
Yes. A video viewing can be arranged if you are unable to travel to Fuengirola in person. Our agents can walk you through the apartment, communal areas, pool and gardens via a live video call at a time that suits you. In-person viewings are available seven days a week by appointment.
Is this apartment suitable for holiday letting?
El Higuerón is within the Fuengirola municipality, which sits in a well-established tourist zone on the Costa del Sol. The proximity to Playa de Los Boliches, the local promenade and the airport access make this area attractive to short-term renters. A tourist licence from the Junta de Andalucía is required before any rental activity begins; your legal adviser can guide you through the application process. We do not quote yield figures as these depend on your own management, pricing and occupancy.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE number (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation contract is signed and a reservation fee is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (contrato de arras or contrato privado), at which point a further deposit — typically 10% of the purchase price — is paid. On completion, the balance is paid before a notary who witnesses the signing of the public deed (escritura). The deed is then registered at the land registry in your name.
