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. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and legal fees at roughly 1% of the purchase price plus VAT. Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet the region's conditions — for example, age, large-family or disability status, or buying as a primary residence — and it is worth checking these 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 are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though terms vary by lender and applicant profile. A mortgage broker familiar with non-resident applications can help you compare products before you commit.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees for this unit are currently nil. The annual IBI (council tax) has not yet been set by the local authority for this new-build property and should be confirmed before exchange. A basura (refuse collection) charge may also apply once set by the municipality. You should factor in utility connections and any owners' association costs once the development is fully handed over.
Can I view this property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. Our agents can arrange a live video viewing via WhatsApp, FaceTime, or your preferred platform, so you can walk through the villa and ask questions in real time without travelling first. If you would like to visit in person, we coordinate accompanied viewings at Reserva del Higuerón on mutually convenient dates.
Is this villa suitable for short-term holiday rental?
Fuengirola and the Reserva del Higuerón area fall within the Costa del Sol tourist belt, where demand for short-term holiday rentals is well established across the summer season and shoulder months. To let legally, you will need to obtain a Vivienda con Fines Turísticos licence from the Junta de Andalucía. We recommend speaking to a local property manager and licence specialist before purchasing specifically for rental income.
What are the main steps in the purchase process?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which can be obtained through a Spanish consulate or via a gestor in Spain. Once terms are agreed, a reservation deposit is paid to take the property off the market. A private purchase contract follows, at which point a further percentage of the price is transferred. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, who registers the title deed with the land registry. Engaging an independent solicitor to review the developer's licences and planning documentation is strongly recommended.
