Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs 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, budget for notary fees of approximately EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of approximately EUR 400–800, and solicitor fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT. 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, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is generally required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain range broadly between 3.5% and 4.5%, though individual lender terms vary. We can refer you to a mortgage broker with experience in Spanish property finance.
What are the ongoing running costs for this villa?
Community fees are currently nil for this development. IBI (annual property tax) and basura (refuse collection charge) figures have not yet been confirmed for this new-build; the agent can provide estimates or confirmed figures once available from the local authority.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. In-person viewings can be arranged through our Fuengirola office. If you are based outside Spain, we also offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call, allowing you to walk through the property and ask questions in real time before committing to travel.
What is the rental potential for this property?
El Higuerón and the wider Fuengirola coastal strip draw visitors year-round, and villas with private outdoor space and communal pool access on the Costa del Sol command consistent short-term demand. Being 20 minutes from Málaga AGP strengthens accessibility for holiday lettings. Your solicitor can advise on the current tourist licence requirements in Andalucía before you let the property commercially.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which your solicitor can apply for on your behalf. Once a price is agreed, a reservation fee is typically paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point a further deposit — commonly 10% of the purchase price — is paid. The remaining balance is transferred on the completion date at the Spanish notary, at which point ownership passes to you and the transaction is registered at the land registry.
