Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for on top of 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 those taxes, allow approximately EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for land registry fees, and around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT for a solicitor. Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet Andalucía's conditions — for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — and it is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers 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 range broadly between 3.5% and 4.5%, though your individual rate will depend on your financial profile and chosen lender. We recommend obtaining an agreement in principle before you make an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs for this villa?
Community fees are currently listed as zero for this development; buyers should confirm with the developer whether a fee will be introduced once the complex is fully occupied. Annual IBI (council tax) and basura (refuse collection) figures are not yet available for this new-build property and should be requested from the developer or agent prior to signing any reservation agreement.
Can I view the villa remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call, during which an agent will walk through the property and the communal areas in real time. A selection of developer CGIs and construction-stage photographs is also available on request. We recommend an in-person visit before proceeding to reservation.
Is this villa suitable as a holiday rental investment?
El Higuerón's position between Fuengirola and Benalmádena, combined with a 20-minute drive to Málaga Airport, makes it an area with consistent short-term rental demand throughout the year. To let legally on a short-term basis in Andalucía you will need a regional tourist licence (VFT), which the property must meet in terms of habitation standards. We can connect you with a local rental management company for projected occupancy information specific to this development.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which can be obtained at a Spanish consulate in your home country or at a police station in Spain. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation fee is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract — typically with a 10% arras deposit — and finally the signing of the escritura (title deed) before a Spanish notary, at which point the balance and all taxes are paid. Using an independent solicitor throughout is strongly recommended.
