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%. ITP does not apply. In addition, allow roughly EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for land registry fees, and around 1% plus VAT for legal representation. 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?
Spanish lenders typically require non-resident buyers to provide a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Variable and fixed mortgage rates currently range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5% depending on the lender and your financial profile. We can introduce you to a Spanish mortgage broker who works with international buyers.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently listed as zero for this development, though you should confirm the final figure with the agent before exchange. IBI (annual property tax) and the basura (refuse) charge have not yet been assessed for this new-build property — the agent can provide estimates once the catastral value is set.
Can I view the apartment remotely before travelling to Málaga?
Yes. We offer video viewings via video call so you can tour the property and the communal areas with one of our agents before committing to travel. In-person viewings can be arranged around your schedule.
Is this apartment suitable for short-term rental?
Malagueta-Monte Sancha's proximity to Playa de la Malagueta and the city centre makes it a well-located area for tourist rental. Andalucía requires a regional tourism licence (Vivienda con Fines Turísticos) before you can let legally on a short-term basis. You should also check whether the development's community rules permit tourist lettings. We can provide guidance on the licence process.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which can be obtained at a consulate or in Spain with a lawyer's help. 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 (arras or contrato de compraventa) at which a further stage payment is typically made. The transaction completes before a Spanish notary, who registers the title deed. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor throughout.
