Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for beyond 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 to new builds. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and legal fees (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 can access Spanish mortgages, though lenders typically require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Variable and fixed interest rates currently sit in the range of approximately 3.5–4.5%, depending on the lender and your financial profile. We can refer you to independent mortgage brokers who specialise in non-resident applications.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Estimated community fees are EUR 120 per month, covering maintenance of the shared facilities including the communal pool and gymnasium. Estimated annual IBI (council tax) is EUR 1,250. Please note these figures are estimates; confirm the current amounts with the agent before exchange.
Can I view the apartment remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings by appointment, including live video calls with an agent on site who can walk through the apartment and answer questions in real time. Contact us to arrange a convenient time.
What is the rental potential for this property?
Reserva del Higuerón is a well-known short-stay destination on the Costa del Sol, and properties within the complex attract consistent tourist rental demand, particularly from late spring through to early autumn. The complex's on-site facilities — pool, gym, and proximity to Carvajal beach — make it attractive to short-let visitors. A tourist licence is required for holiday rentals in Andalucía; we can advise on the application process.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which can be obtained in Spain or via a Spanish consulate in your home country. Once you agree terms, a reservation fee 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 the notary on completion, at which point ownership transfers. We recommend instructing an independent Spanish solicitor before signing anything.
