Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs for this property?
As a new-build property in Andalusia, VAT (IVA) of 10% applies instead of ITP transfer tax. On the asking price of EUR 599,000, that comes to approximately EUR 59,900. You should also budget EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for land registry fees, and around 1% plus VAT (roughly EUR 7,200) for legal representation. Total purchase costs typically run to 12–13% on top of the purchase price.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers can generally borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation from Spanish lenders, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is required. On EUR 599,000 that equates to approximately EUR 180,000–240,000. Current variable and fixed rates from Spanish banks are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though your final rate will depend on your financial profile and the lender.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently recorded as EUR 0 per year; please verify the confirmed figure directly with the developer before committing to purchase. IBI (annual property tax) has not yet been assessed for this new-build property and will be set by Fuengirola town hall once the property is registered. Budget for utility connections and buildings insurance separately.
How can I arrange a viewing?
In-person viewings can be arranged through the OceanHome team at a time that suits you. If you are based outside Spain, we can also organise a live video viewing so you can see the property and ask questions in real time before making a trip.
Is this property suitable for holiday rental?
El Higuerón is within the Costa del Sol tourist belt and properties here are regularly let on a short-term basis. To rent legally, you must register the property with the Junta de Andalucía and obtain a VFT (Vivienda con Fines Turísticos) licence. Occupancy and income will vary by season and management approach; we recommend speaking to a local rental management company for current market data.
What is the buying process in Spain?
You will first need an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is a tax identification number required for any property purchase. Once agreed, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit paid, typically EUR 3,000–6,000. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), where usually 10% of the price is paid. The balance is settled at the notary on the completion date, when title transfers to you and the purchase is registered in the land registry.
