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 I get a mortgage on this property as a non-resident?
Non-resident buyers can typically access Spanish mortgages covering up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Current variable and fixed rates from Spanish lenders are in the region of 3.5–4.5%. Each lender applies its own criteria, so speaking to an independent mortgage broker with experience in the Spanish market is advisable early in the process.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently listed at nil; buyers should request a copy of the community budget from the developer to understand anticipated maintenance costs once the complex is established. The annual IBI (local property tax) figure is not yet available for this new-build unit — the agent can advise once the catastro reference is assigned. Utility contracts for water and electricity are set up separately at completion.
Can I view this penthouse remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. The agent can arrange a live video viewing at a time that suits you, walking through the show unit or available CGI walkthroughs of the specification. In-person viewings at the El Higuerón development site can also be arranged, including access to the communal facilities and current build progress.
What is the rental potential for this penthouse?
El Higuerón is an established tourist area on the Costa del Sol with year-round demand from both short-term holiday visitors and longer-stay residents. A penthouse of this size and specification at the top floor of a boutique development attracts interest from premium short-let platforms. Buyers should obtain a tourist rental licence from the Junta de Andalucía before listing the property and discuss realistic occupancy expectations with a local rental management agency, as yields vary with season and pricing strategy.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which can be obtained in Spain or through a Spanish consulate in your home country. Once you agree to proceed, a reservation deposit is paid to take the property off the market, followed by a private purchase contract (typically with a 10% staged payment for new builds). The balance is paid at the notary on the day of completion, when the title deed is signed and keys are handed over. We recommend instructing an independent Spanish solicitor to carry out due diligence throughout.
