Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs for this new-build apartment in Bahia de las Rocas?
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, 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 — so it is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Spanish lenders typically offer non-residents mortgages covering 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation (whichever is lower), meaning a deposit of 30–40% is normally required. Current variable and fixed rates in Spain are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though individual offers depend on your financial profile and the lender. We can refer you to an independent mortgage broker familiar with cross-border purchases.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently listed at zero, though buyers should verify whether this reflects a pre-occupation period or a permanent arrangement. The annual IBI (council tax) figure is not yet available for this new-build property and should be confirmed with the local council before purchase. Basura (rubbish collection) charges are also to be confirmed. Utility contracts will need to be set up on completion.
Is it possible to view this apartment remotely?
Yes. OceanHome can arrange a live video viewing via WhatsApp, FaceTime, or video call at a time that suits you. This is a good first step before travelling to Manilva for an in-person visit. Contact us to schedule a slot.
What is the rental potential for this apartment in Bahia de las Rocas?
Bahia de las Rocas and the wider Manilva area attract both short-term holiday renters and longer-term tenants, including workers based in Sotogrande and Gibraltar. Ground-floor apartments with private gardens are relatively scarce in new-build developments here, which tends to support demand. A local property management company can provide a realistic rental assessment based on current market conditions; we can make an introduction on request.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which can be obtained at a Spanish consulate abroad or at a police station in Spain. Once you have chosen this property, a reservation agreement is signed and a holding deposit paid to take it off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point a further stage payment is typically made. The transaction completes before a notary, who registers the title deed. We recommend instructing an independent Spanish solicitor from the outset.
