Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for on top of the sale 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 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 — and it is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer in Spain?
Non-resident buyers can generally borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is typically required. Current variable and fixed rates from Spanish lenders range broadly between 3.5% and 4.5%, though individual offers will depend on your financial profile and the lender. It is advisable to obtain a mortgage agreement in principle before signing any purchase contract.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees for this development are currently nil. Annual IBI (council tax) figures are not yet available, as the property is a new build and rateable values are assigned after completion and registration. Basura (waste collection) charges are also not yet confirmed. We recommend asking the agent for the latest information as the development progresses.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. In addition to in-person viewings, we can arrange a video viewing so you can see the property and ask questions in real time without travelling to Spain. Contact us to book a time that suits you.
Does this apartment have rental potential?
Bahia de las Rocas is within the Manilva municipality on the Costa del Sol, an area that attracts tourists throughout the year owing to its proximity to the coast, golf courses, and Gibraltar. Short-term holiday lets are subject to obtaining a tourist rental licence from the Junta de Andalucía. We recommend speaking to a local property manager for current occupancy expectations in this specific area.
What steps are involved in buying this property?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (foreigner identification number), which can be obtained in Spain or via a Spanish consulate in your home country. Once an offer is agreed, a reservation contract is typically signed and a holding deposit paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), usually involving a further deposit of around 10% of the purchase price. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the remaining balance is paid and the title deed is signed and registered. A Spanish solicitor should represent your interests throughout the process.
