Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs apply to this property?
As a new build in Andalucía, this purchase carries IVA (VAT) at 10% of the purchase price plus AJD stamp duty at 1.2% of the purchase price. 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 the region's conditions — for example, age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — worth checking before you budget.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Non-resident buyers can generally obtain a mortgage in Spain, though lenders typically require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though individual offers vary by lender and applicant profile. We recommend speaking with an independent mortgage broker before committing.
What are the ongoing running costs?
IBI (council tax) figures are not yet available for this new-build property; the agent can advise once rates are assessed. Community fees were listed at zero at the time of this listing — please confirm the current figure with the agent before exchange, as charges may be set once the development is complete. Waste collection (basura) costs are also not yet confirmed.
Can I arrange a viewing, and is a remote viewing available?
Yes. In-person viewings can be arranged through OceanHome at a time to suit you. If you are unable to travel to El Higuerón, we can arrange a live video viewing so you can see the property and ask questions in real time. Contact us to book either option.
What is the rental potential of this penthouse?
El Higuerón benefits from strong year-round demand given its coastal location and proximity to Málaga Airport (approximately 20 minutes). Fuengirola as a whole is an established holiday-let market, and top-floor properties with sea views and communal amenities tend to perform well for short-term rentals. We recommend obtaining a formal rental appraisal from a local management company before relying on any projected income figures.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once you identify the property, a reservation agreement is signed and a deposit paid to take it off the market. This is typically followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point a further deposit — usually 10% of the purchase price — is paid. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, at which point the balance and all taxes are settled and the title deed (escritura) is signed and registered.
