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%. ITP does not apply. Both IVA and AJD rates are set by the autonomous region of Andalucía. In addition, you should budget 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) — worth checking before you budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers in Spain typically need to provide a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price, as Spanish lenders generally finance up to 60–70% for non-residents. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish banks broadly range from 3.5% to 4.5%, though your own rate will depend on your financial profile and the lender. We can refer you to independent mortgage brokers familiar with non-resident applications.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently shown as nil, but buyers should confirm the final service charge amount directly with the developer, as this figure may change before completion. The annual IBI (local property tax) has not yet been assessed for this property. Basura (refuse collection) charges have also not been confirmed. We recommend requesting written confirmation of all recurring charges from the developer before exchanging contracts.
Can I view the property remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who cannot travel to Istán in person. Our agent can conduct a live video call walkthrough of the show unit or available apartment, and we can supply additional photos, floor plans and developer materials on request. In-person viewings can also be arranged by appointment.
Does this property have rental potential?
Istán Sur's proximity to the Costa del Sol and Málaga Airport, combined with access to the Sierra de las Nieves natural park, makes the area attractive to both short-stay holiday visitors and longer-term tenants. New-build apartments in this part of Málaga province can be eligible for tourist rental licences, though approval is subject to local authority conditions. We recommend taking independent legal advice on licensing requirements before purchasing with a rental strategy in mind.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE (foreigner identification number), which your solicitor or gestor can obtain on your behalf. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (contrato de arras or developer's stage-payment contract for new builds), with staged payments through construction if applicable. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the title deed (escritura) is signed and keys are handed over. Independent legal representation throughout is strongly advised.
