Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for on top of the sale 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. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and legal fees (typically 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 — and it is worth checking this before you finalise your budget.
Can I obtain a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers in Spain typically need to provide a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price, as Spanish lenders generally finance up to 60–70% of the valuation for non-residents. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain range broadly between 3.5% and 4.5%, though terms vary by lender and applicant profile. We can refer you to independent mortgage brokers with experience in this market.
What are the ongoing running costs for this villa?
Community fees are currently set at zero. As this is a new build, no IBI (annual property tax) figure has yet been issued by the local authority; this will be assessed once the property is registered with the catastro. Utility costs will depend on usage, though the villa is fitted with underfloor heating and air conditioning throughout.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who are unable to visit in person. A member of our team can walk through the property with you via a live video call, covering all rooms, the outdoor spaces, the pool area, and the solarium. Contact us to schedule a time that suits you.
Does this villa have rental potential?
El Higuerón and the wider Fuengirola area fall within a tourist zone on the Costa del Sol, and properties of this size and specification are in demand for holiday lets. A tourist licence is required and is subject to regional and local regulations. We recommend speaking to a local property manager for current market rates and occupancy data before factoring rental income into your plans.
What is the process for purchasing this property?
The first practical step is to obtain an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is your Spanish tax identification number and is required to complete any property purchase. Once you decide to proceed, 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 (contrato de arras), at which point typically 10% of the purchase price is paid. The balance is settled at the notary on completion, when title transfers to you. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to act on your behalf throughout.
