Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the EUR 1,190,000 asking price?
As a new-build property in Andalusia, this villa is subject to IVA at 10% rather than ITP, which amounts to EUR 119,000. Additional costs include notary fees of approximately EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400–800, and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (currently 21%), equalling roughly EUR 14,400. Total purchase costs are typically in the range of EUR 134,000–135,000 on top of the sale price.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish lenders typically offer non-residents a loan-to-value of up to 60–70%, meaning a deposit of 30–40% of the EUR 1,190,000 price — between EUR 357,000 and EUR 476,000 — would be required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%. We recommend consulting an independent mortgage broker with experience in cross-border lending.
What are the ongoing running costs for this villa?
Community fees are currently recorded at EUR 0 per year; buyers should confirm whether ongoing maintenance charges apply once the development is complete. Annual IBI (council tax) and basura (refuse collection) figures are not yet available for this new-build property and should be requested from the developer or local town hall prior to purchase.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who cannot travel immediately. If you would prefer an in-person visit, Málaga AGP airport is approximately 20 minutes away, making access to Reserva del Higuerón straightforward. Contact us to schedule either option at a time that suits you.
What is the rental potential for this villa in Reserva del Higuerón?
Reserva del Higuerón is within a tourist-active zone on the Costa del Sol, and new-build villas in the area are eligible for a tourist rental licence from the Junta de Andalucía. Demand for short-term holiday rentals is strong in this part of Fuengirola, particularly from spring through to autumn. We recommend speaking with a local property management company for current market occupancy data.
What does the purchase process involve for a buyer new to Spain?
You will first need an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), a Spanish tax identification number obtainable at a local police station or through a Spanish consulate. Once terms are agreed, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit paid, typically EUR 6,000–10,000. A private purchase contract (arras) follows, at which point around 10% of the price is exchanged. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, where the remaining balance and all applicable taxes are paid and legal title passes to the buyer.
