Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for beyond the asking price?
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. On top of these taxes, allow approximately EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for Land Registry registration and around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT for legal representation. 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 — so it is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Spanish lenders typically offer non-residents up to 60–70% loan-to-value on a new-build purchase, meaning a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price is normally required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain generally range from 3.5% to 4.5% per annum, though individual offers depend on your financial profile and the lender. We can introduce you to a local mortgage broker if that would be helpful.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees for this unit have not yet been confirmed and will be set once the development's management structure is established. The IBI (annual property tax) is also pending, as the catastral reference has not yet been assigned. Basura (refuse collection) charges are set by the local authority and will apply once the property is registered. We recommend requesting confirmation of all running costs from the developer before exchange.
Is it possible to view this property remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who cannot travel to El Higuerón in person, including live walk-throughs via video call and recorded tours of the development. In-person viewings can be arranged seven days a week. Please contact us to book whichever format suits you.
What is the rental potential in El Higuerón?
El Higuerón sits within the Costa del Sol's established short-term rental market. The area draws both summer visitors and year-round residents, supported by its proximity to Fuengirola town, the beaches and Málaga AGP airport 20 minutes away. A tourist licence will be required for holiday lets in Andalucía and your solicitor can advise on the current application requirements and any restrictions that apply to this specific development.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once terms are agreed, a reservation fee is paid to take the property off the market, followed by a private purchase contract at which a further deposit of typically 10% of the purchase price is paid. For new builds, stage payments are common during the construction period. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the title deed (escritura) is signed and the balance is transferred. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor before reserving.
