Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the EUR 1,120,000 asking price?
As this is a new-build property in Andalusia, you will pay IVA (VAT) at 10% rather than transfer tax, which amounts to EUR 112,000. Stamp duty (AJD) applies at approximately 1.5%, adding around EUR 16,800. Notary fees typically run EUR 600 to 1,200, land registry fees EUR 400 to 800, and independent legal advice is usually budgeted at 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (EUR 11,200 plus VAT). Total acquisition costs are typically 13 to 15% above the purchase price.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish lenders generally offer non-resident buyers up to 60 to 70% loan-to-value on properties of this type, meaning a deposit of 30 to 40% is typically required. On EUR 1,120,000 that equates to EUR 336,000 to EUR 448,000. Variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain currently range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5% AER, though terms vary by lender and applicant profile. We can refer you to an independent mortgage broker.
What are the ongoing running costs for this villa?
Community fees for this development have not yet been confirmed by the vendor. The annual IBI (council tax) figure has also not been provided at this stage and will be established once the property receives its cadastral reference. Utility costs will depend on usage. We recommend requesting the full community fee schedule from the developer before exchanging contracts.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who are unable to travel immediately. A member of our team can conduct a live video walkthrough of the development and, where available, a show unit. Contact us to schedule a date and time that suits you. In-person viewings in El Higuerón can be arranged with 48 hours' notice.
Is this property suitable for short-term rental?
El Higuerón and the surrounding Fuengirola coast are within a tourist licence zone in Andalusia, meaning the property may be eligible for a Vivienda con Fines Turísticos (VFT) licence, subject to meeting the regional requirements and any restrictions in the community statutes. The area sees strong visitor demand year-round given its coastal location and rail access to Málaga. We advise confirming rental permissions with your legal adviser before purchase.
What are the main steps in the purchase process?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which can be obtained at a consulate abroad or at a police station in Spain. Once agreed, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit paid, typically EUR 6,000 to 10,000. This is followed by a private purchase contract (contrato de arras) in which 10% of the purchase price is exchanged. On new builds, stage payments may apply during construction. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the remaining balance, taxes, and fees are paid and the title deed (escritura) is signed. The property is then registered at the Land Registry.
