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%, both set by the Andalucían regional government. ITP does not apply. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and legal fees (typically 1% of the purchase price plus VAT). 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 — and are worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers in Spain can typically borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish lenders generally fall in the range of 3.5–4.5%, though your personal circumstances and the lender will determine the final offer. It is advisable to obtain a mortgage agreement in principle before exchanging contracts.
What are the ongoing running costs for this townhouse?
Community fees for this development are currently nil. IBI (annual property tax) has not yet been confirmed for this new-build property, so please ask the agent for the latest information. Basura (rubbish collection charge) is also to be confirmed. Budget separately for utilities including electricity, water, and home insurance.
Can I arrange a viewing, including remotely?
Yes. In-person viewings can be arranged through the OceanHome team at a time that suits you. If you are based outside Spain or unable to visit in person, video viewings are also available, allowing you to walk through the property virtually with one of our agents. Contact us to schedule either option.
Does this townhouse have rental potential?
El Higuerón and the wider Fuengirola area attract year-round visitors due to the proximity of Málaga Airport at approximately 20 minutes and the Costa del Sol's extended warm season. Short-term holiday lets are subject to a Junta de Andalucía tourist licence, which must be obtained before letting commercially. The agent can provide guidance on the licence process and local rental demand.
What are the key steps in the purchase process?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), obtainable at a Spanish consulate or in Spain itself. Once terms are agreed, a reservation deposit secures the property while due diligence is carried out. A private purchase contract (arras) follows, typically requiring a further payment of around 10% of the purchase price. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the remaining balance is paid and the title deed (escritura) is signed and registered. Using an independent solicitor throughout is strongly recommended.
