Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs 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 at 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 — so it is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers in Spain can typically borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish lenders generally range between 3.5% and 4.5%, though the rate offered will depend on your financial profile and the lender. We recommend consulting an independent mortgage broker with experience in cross-border lending.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are estimated at 130 EUR per month, covering maintenance of the communal pool, gymnasium, jacuzzi, lift, and shared areas. Annual IBI (local property tax) is estimated at 1,280 EUR. Both figures are estimates and may be confirmed once the building is registered. Utility costs will vary according to usage.
Can I view this apartment remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings via video call for buyers who cannot travel immediately. Our agents can walk through the development, show the surrounding street and promenade, and answer questions in real time. In-person viewings can be arranged with advance notice.
Is this apartment suitable for holiday letting?
Playa de los Boliches has a proven short-term rental market, with demand driven by beach access, the Paseo Marítimo, and the Los Boliches Cercanías rail stop. A tourist rental licence from the Junta de Andalucía is required before letting the property. We recommend speaking with a local property manager about realistic occupancy expectations before committing.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which can be obtained at a Spanish consulate or in Spain with a solicitor's help. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation deposit is paid to take the property off the market, followed by a private purchase contract (arras) where typically 10% of the purchase price is exchanged. The balance is paid at completion before a notary, who registers the title. For new builds, the timeline between reservation and completion is linked to the construction programme, so your solicitor should review the developer's payment schedule carefully.
