Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the asking price?
As a new-build property in Andalusia, you pay IVA at 10% rather than transfer tax. On EUR 745,000 that is EUR 74,500. You should also budget for notary fees (approximately EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (approximately EUR 400–800), and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT, bringing total acquisition costs to roughly EUR 82,000–84,000.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish lenders typically offer non-resident buyers up to 60–70% loan-to-value, meaning a deposit of 30–40% of the EUR 745,000 purchase price — between EUR 223,500 and EUR 298,000 — plus acquisition costs. Current variable and fixed rates from Spanish banks generally range from 3.5% to 4.5% APR, though terms vary by lender and applicant profile.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently listed as EUR 0 per month; buyers should verify this directly with the developer before completing. Annual IBI (council tax) and waste collection charges have not yet been set and should be requested from the agent. An energy rating of G indicates relatively higher energy consumption, which may affect utility bills.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. OceanHome can arrange a video viewing of the property and the wider El Higuerón development if you are unable to travel to Fuengirola in person. Contact the agent to schedule a live video call or to request a recorded walkthrough.
Is this property suitable as a holiday rental investment?
El Higuerón and the wider Fuengirola coastal area are designated tourist zones in Andalusia, which means short-term holiday rentals are permitted subject to registering a Vivienda con Fines Turísticos (VFT) licence with the Junta de Andalucía. Demand in this area is supported by proximity to the beach, the A-7 motorway, and Málaga Airport. Speak to the agent for guidance on licensing requirements and local rental management options.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (foreigner identification number), which can be obtained at a Spanish consulate or in person in Spain. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation deposit secures the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point typically 10% of the purchase price is paid. The balance is settled at the notary on completion, when title transfers to the buyer. An independent Spanish solicitor is strongly recommended throughout.
