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 autonomous region's conditions — for example, age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — so it is worth checking before you budget.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish lenders typically offer non-residents up to 60–70% loan-to-value on a purchase like this, meaning a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price is usually required. Current variable and fixed rates from Spanish banks range approximately 3.5–4.5% per annum, though individual terms depend on your financial profile and the lender. We can connect you with an independent mortgage broker familiar with the Costa del Sol market.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently listed as nil for this development. IBI (council tax) figures have not yet been confirmed for this new-build property — the catastral reference is not yet registered, so IBI will be assessed once the development is completed and registered. Basura (waste collection) charges are similarly unconfirmed at this stage. We recommend budgeting for both once the development receives its licence of first occupation.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp, Zoom or FaceTime for buyers who cannot travel to El Higuerón immediately. Our agents can walk through the show home and the communal areas in real time and share developer floor plans and site plans digitally. In-person viewings can be arranged seven days a week.
Is this property suitable as a holiday rental?
El Higuerón lies in a high-demand tourist corridor between Fuengirola and Benalmádena, both of which have active short-term rental markets. New-build townhouses with private pools in this area are well positioned for holiday-let use. You will need a Junta de Andalucía tourist rental licence (VFT) before letting legally; we can refer you to a local solicitor who handles licence applications. We do not quote yield percentages as these depend on occupancy rates and management costs that vary year to year.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, you will need an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is required for any property transaction in Spain and can be obtained at a Spanish consulate abroad or at a police station locally. Once you decide to proceed, a reservation agreement is signed and a holding deposit paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point a further percentage of the purchase price is paid. Completion takes place before a notary in Spain, at which point the balance is transferred and the title deed (escritura) is signed. Your solicitor should carry out full due diligence on the developer and the new-build licence before any funds are committed.
