Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs for this new-build penthouse in El Higuerón?
As a new build in Andalucía, this purchase carries IVA (VAT) at 10% of the purchase price plus AJD stamp duty at 1.2%. ITP does not apply. 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 — so it is worth checking before you budget. On top of taxes, budget for notary fees of approximately EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400–800 and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage to buy this property?
Non-resident buyers can typically secure a mortgage for a Spanish property, though lenders usually require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Interest rates currently sit in the range of 3.5–4.5% depending on the lender and the loan term. We can introduce you to independent mortgage brokers who specialise in Spanish property finance for overseas buyers.
What are the ongoing running costs for this penthouse?
Community fees are currently nil, though they may be set once the development reaches full occupancy. Annual IBI (council tax) and basura (waste collection) charges are not yet available for this new-build unit and will be confirmed by the local authority after completion. We recommend setting aside a contingency until these figures are issued.
How do I arrange a viewing of this penthouse in El Higuerón?
Contact our OceanHome team to schedule either an in-person or a live video viewing at a time that suits you. Video viewings are a practical option if you are based outside Spain and want to assess the apartment and development before travelling. We can also arrange access to the show unit on site.
What is the rental potential for this penthouse?
El Higuerón and the wider Fuengirola area are classified as tourist zones on the Costa del Sol, and short-term holiday lets are in demand along this stretch of coast. A tourist licence application would be required before listing the property on short-let platforms. We can connect you with local management companies who can advise on licensing, occupancy rates and seasonal demand for this type of property.
What does the purchase process involve for a property in Spain?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which can be obtained via the Spanish consulate in your home country or in person at a police station in Spain. Once you agree a price, a reservation deposit is typically paid to take the property off the market, followed by a private purchase contract (arras) in which a further deposit — usually 10% of the purchase price — is paid. The balance is settled at the notary on the day of completion, when the title deed (escritura) is signed and the keys are handed over. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to carry out due diligence throughout.
