Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the asking price?
This is a new-build property in Andalusia, so IVA at 10% applies rather than ITP. On a price of EUR 1,126,500, that amounts to EUR 112,650. Add notary fees of EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400–800, and legal fees of approximately 1% plus VAT (around EUR 11,265 before VAT). Total additional costs typically fall between EUR 125,000 and EUR 127,000.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Non-resident buyers can generally access mortgage financing in Spain, though lenders typically require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. On EUR 1,126,500 that means a deposit of between EUR 337,950 and EUR 450,600. Current variable and fixed rates from Spanish lenders range approximately 3.5–4.5%. We recommend speaking with an independent mortgage broker familiar with cross-border lending.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently listed as EUR 0 per month; buyers should verify the confirmed maintenance charge with the developer before exchange, as this figure may change once the community is formally constituted. The annual IBI (council tax) figure is not yet available and should be requested from the developer or the local Fuengirola council (Ayuntamiento).
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who cannot travel to Fuengirola immediately. For new-build developments, we can also walk you through show-flat footage or developer materials. In-person viewings can be arranged with advance notice.
What is the rental potential in El Higuerón?
El Higuerón is an established coastal address with consistent demand from both short-term holiday visitors and longer-stay residents, partly due to its proximity to Málaga Airport (20 minutes) and the nearby Higueron Resort amenities. A property of 348 m2 is relatively unusual in the area and may attract corporate or family tenants seeking more generous living space. Your solicitor can advise on the tourist licence requirements applicable in Fuengirola.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE number (tax identification number), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once you agree terms, a reservation fee is paid to take the property off the market, followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa) in which typically 10% of the price is paid. The balance is settled at the notary, where title formally transfers. For new builds, stage payments during construction are common; confirm the payment schedule with the developer.
