Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs apply to this property?
As a new build in Andalucía, this purchase carries IVA (VAT) at 10% of the purchase price plus AJD stamp duty at 1.2%, set by the Andalucía autonomous region. ITP does not apply. In addition, allow for notary fees of approximately EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of approximately 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 — so it is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Spanish banks typically lend non-residents up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation, whichever is lower, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though offers vary by lender and applicant profile. We can introduce you to independent mortgage brokers with experience in cross-border applications.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently zero, though buyers should confirm with the developer what fee structure will apply once the development is fully handed over and the owners' community is formally constituted. IBI (council tax) has not yet been assessed for this new-build unit; the figure will be set by Fuengirola town hall once the property is registered on the catastro. Basura (refuse collection) charges have also not yet been confirmed. We recommend budgeting conservatively until these are formally set.
Is it possible to view the property remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings by appointment, during which an agent can walk through the unit, show the solarium and communal areas, and answer questions in real time. This option suits buyers travelling from outside Spain who want to assess the property before committing to an in-person visit. In-person viewings can be arranged with advance notice.
Does this property have rental potential?
Fuengirola and the Los Pacos district attract both long-term and short-term rental demand, supported by the town's position on the Costa del Sol and its transport connections to Málaga. A three-bedroom penthouse with a private solarium and two parking spaces is well suited to the family holiday rental market as well as longer lets. Tourist rental licences in Andalucía are required for short-term lets; your solicitor can advise on the application process and any conditions attached to new-build properties in this area. We do not quote projected yields, as actual returns depend on occupancy, management costs and market conditions.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is required for all property transactions and can be obtained at a Spanish consulate or in Spain with a solicitor's help. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation contract is typically signed and a reservation 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 is usually made. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the balance is paid and the title deed (escritura) is signed and presented for registration. We strongly recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor before any payment is made.
