Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the asking price?
As this is a new build in Andalusia, you pay IVA at 10% instead of ITP transfer tax. On EUR 1,530,000 that amounts to EUR 153,000. Additional costs include notary fees of approximately EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of approximately EUR 400–800, and legal fees typically around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (approximately EUR 15,300 plus VAT). Total purchase costs are typically 12–13% above the asking price.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident?
Non-resident buyers can generally obtain a Spanish mortgage, though lenders typically require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. On EUR 1,530,000 that means having between EUR 459,000 and EUR 612,000 available. Current variable and fixed rates from Spanish lenders are broadly in the range of 3.5–4.5%. We can refer you to independent mortgage brokers with experience in the Costa del Sol market.
What are the ongoing running costs for this villa?
Community fees for this property are listed at EUR 0. Annual IBI (council tax) figures are not yet available from the local authority; the agent can provide an estimated figure on request. Additional running costs to budget for include home insurance, utility connections and rubbish collection charges, which vary by municipality.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who cannot travel immediately. This allows you to assess the property and ask questions in real time. An in-person visit to El Higuerón can then be arranged once you are ready to proceed.
What is the rental potential for this property?
El Higuerón is an active tourist area on the Costa del Sol, and new-build villas in this zone attract both short-term holiday rentals and longer-term lets. To rent to tourists legally, you must obtain a holiday rental licence from the Junta de Andalucía. We do not quote yield percentages, but the agent can share local rental market context based on comparable properties in the area.
How does the purchase process work in Spain?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once terms are agreed, a reservation contract is signed and a deposit (typically EUR 3,000–6,000) is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point 10% of the purchase price is usually paid. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the balance is transferred and the title deed (escritura) is signed. The process from reservation to completion typically takes 4–12 weeks depending on mortgage requirements and the developer's timeline.
