Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs for this new-build villa?
As a new build in Andalucía, this purchase carries IVA (VAT) at 10% of the purchase price plus AJD stamp duty at 1.2%. ITP does not apply. AJD and any applicable allowances are set by the Andalucía autonomous region, not by Málaga province. Additional costs typically include notary fees (EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (EUR 400–800) and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT. Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet this region's conditions — for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — and are worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Spanish lenders generally offer non-residents up to 60–70% loan-to-value on new-build properties, meaning a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price is typically required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish banks range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%, though terms vary by lender and applicant profile. A mortgage broker with experience in Spanish new-build transactions is advisable.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently nil for this unit. IBI (annual council tax) has not yet been assessed as the property is a new build; the vendor or the developer's legal representative can confirm the expected figure once the catastral reference is assigned. Basura (refuse collection) charges have not been confirmed and should also be verified. The energy rating is G.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. OceanHome can arrange a live video viewing via WhatsApp or video call at a time that suits you, giving you a guided walkthrough of the villa, the solarium and the communal areas. In-person viewings in El Higuerón can be arranged with advance notice, and the development is accessible from Málaga airport in approximately 20 minutes.
What is the rental potential for this villa?
El Higuerón and the wider Fuengirola area are popular with both long-term residents and short-stay visitors on the Costa del Sol, which supports demand for villa rentals. A tourist licence would be required for short-term holiday lets in Andalucía. We recommend speaking with a local property manager to understand current achievable rents and occupancy rates before committing to a rental strategy.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which can be obtained through a Spanish consulate or locally with a gestor's assistance. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit 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 stage payment — typically 10% of the purchase price — is made. For new builds, stage payments during construction may apply depending on the developer's schedule. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the balance is paid and the title deed (escritura) is signed and registered.
