Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for on top of the EUR 420,000 asking price?
As a new-build property in Andalusia, you pay IVA at 10% instead of transfer tax (ITP), which amounts to EUR 42,000. You will also need to budget for notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (EUR 400–800) and legal fees (around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT, so approximately EUR 5,040 including VAT). In total, allow for roughly EUR 48,000–50,000 in purchase costs above the sale price.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Yes. Spanish banks typically lend non-residents up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation, whichever is lower, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. On EUR 420,000 that equates to EUR 126,000–168,000. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish lenders are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though your personal circumstances will affect the offer you receive.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently listed at EUR 0 per month. IBI (local property tax) and basura (waste collection charge) figures have not yet been provided by the developer and should be requested and confirmed in writing before you proceed to contract. These costs are estimated to be available once the development receives its licence of first occupation.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who are unable to travel to Manilva at short notice. A video call can be arranged at a time that suits you, allowing you to see the apartment, the communal areas and the surrounding Bahía de las Rocas neighbourhood in real time. Contact our team to book either an in-person or video viewing.
What is the rental potential for this property?
Bahía de las Rocas and the wider Manilva coastline see consistent tourist demand from late spring through early autumn, with proximity to Duquesa Port and Sabinillas beach adding to its appeal for short-term lets. To operate a tourist rental legally in Andalusia you will need to register with the regional tourist registry and comply with local licensing requirements. Your solicitor can advise on this as part of the purchase process.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once you have agreed the price, you typically pay a reservation fee to take the property off the market, followed by a private purchase contract (arras) where a further deposit of around 10% is paid. The remaining balance is settled at the notary on completion, at which point ownership transfers to you. The full process from reservation to completion commonly takes 4–12 weeks depending on mortgage requirements and developer timescales.
