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. In addition, 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 I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers can typically borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price from Spanish lenders, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is generally required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish banks range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5% annually, though rates vary by lender and applicant profile. We can introduce you to independent mortgage brokers active in the Fuengirola area.
What are the ongoing running costs for this villa?
Community fees are currently set at zero for this development. The annual IBI (council tax) figure has not yet been confirmed and should be verified with the developer or local town hall before exchange. An annual basura (rubbish collection) charge will also apply once the property is registered; the exact amount is to be confirmed.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling to Fuengirola?
Yes. We offer video viewings via video call for buyers who cannot travel immediately. We can walk through the property in real time, show the development's communal areas, and cover the surrounding El Higuerón neighbourhood. In-person viewings can be arranged directly at the development site. Contact us to schedule either option.
Is this villa suitable for short-term holiday rental?
El Higuerón is an established tourist area on the Costa del Sol with consistent visitor demand throughout the year. Short-term rental is subject to Andalucía's tourist licence (Vivienda con Fines Turísticos) registration process and, importantly, to the development's community regulations — some new-build developments restrict or prohibit tourist lettings. We recommend confirming the community rules with the developer before purchase if rental income is a factor in your decision.
What does the purchase process involve for an overseas buyer?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is required for any property transaction and can be obtained via a Spanish consulate in your home country or in person at a police station in Spain. The process then moves to a reservation agreement and deposit to secure the property, followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato privado) in which a further deposit — typically 10% of the purchase price — is paid. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, at which point the balance and all taxes are settled and the keys are handed over. We strongly recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor before signing anything.
