Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs apply to this apartment?
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. Both IVA and AJD are set by the autonomous region of Andalucía. On top of taxes, allow roughly EUR 600–1,200 for the notary, EUR 400–800 for land registry, and around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT for a solicitor. 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) — worth checking before you budget.
Can non-residents get a mortgage for this property?
Non-resident buyers can typically borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is generally required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates for non-residents are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though offers vary by lender and buyer profile. We can connect you with independent mortgage brokers who work in this market.
What are the estimated running costs?
Estimated community fees are 250 EUR per month, covering maintenance of the communal pool, gymnasium, solarium and security services. Estimated annual IBI (local property tax) is 3,000 EUR. Both figures are estimates. A basura (waste collection) charge may also apply; the exact amount is not yet confirmed for this unit.
Can I view the apartment remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings by appointment, during which our agent can walk through the apartment and the complex's communal areas in real time. If you prefer to visit in person, we can arrange accompanied viewings and assist with travel logistics from Málaga Airport, which is approximately 20 minutes away.
Is there rental potential in Reserva del Higuerón?
Reserva del Higuerón is an established tourist area on the Costa del Sol and properties here are regularly let on short-term holiday contracts. The apartment's size of 404m2, top-floor position and facilities such as the Jacuzzi and panoramic views are attributes that tend to attract premium rental interest. To let legally on a short-term basis you will need a tourist rental licence from the Junta de Andalucía; your solicitor can advise on the application process.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. The typical sequence is: a reservation agreement and holding deposit to secure the property, followed by a private purchase contract (arras) with a further deposit usually representing around 10% of the purchase price, and finally the signing of the title deed (escritura) before a Spanish notary. We recommend appointing an independent solicitor before you sign anything.
