Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs apply to this penthouse?
As a new build in Andalucía, this purchase carries IVA (VAT) at 10% of the purchase price plus AJD stamp duty at 1.2%, set by the Autonomous Community of Andalucía. ITP does not apply to new-build purchases. Additional one-off costs typically include notary fees (EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (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 — so it is worth checking before you budget.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on 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 from Spanish lenders range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%, though your individual rate will depend on your financial profile and chosen lender. We can introduce you to an independent mortgage broker with experience in cross-border finance.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are listed at zero at the time of writing; buyers should verify this directly with the developer before contracts are signed. Annual IBI (council tax) and basura (waste collection) figures are not yet available for this new-build unit and should be requested from the developer or confirmed with the local Málaga authority prior to purchase. Buildings insurance and utility connections will be additional.
How can I arrange a viewing?
In-person viewings can be arranged through our Málaga office with advance notice. If you are based outside Spain, we can arrange a live video viewing at a time that suits your schedule, with one of our agents walking through the property and the rooftop solarium in real time. Contact us by phone or email to book.
Is this penthouse suitable as a rental investment?
Malagueta's location on the city seafront and within walking distance of Málaga city centre makes it attractive for both long-term residential lettings and short-term tourist rentals. Short-term holiday lets require a licence from the Junta de Andalucía; the application process and eligibility criteria should be reviewed before purchase if rental income is part of your plan. We can refer you to a local property manager with experience in this neighbourhood.
What are the main steps in buying this property?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which can be obtained in Spain or through a Spanish consulate in your home country. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation fee is paid to take the property off the market, followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa) in which a further deposit — typically 10% of the purchase price — is paid. The balance is settled at the notary on completion, when the title deed (escritura) is signed and ownership is formally transferred. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to represent your interests throughout.
