Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs for this new-build apartment?
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 the region's conditions — for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — and it is worth checking this before you finalise your budget.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Non-resident buyers can typically obtain Spanish mortgage finance, though lenders generally require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Current variable and fixed rates in Spain are broadly in the range of 3.5–4.5%, though the rate offered will depend on your financial profile and the lender. We can refer you to an independent mortgage broker with experience in non-resident applications.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees for this property are currently set at nil. IBI (council tax) and basura (waste collection) figures have not yet been confirmed for this new-build and should be verified with the agent or developer before exchange. We will provide confirmed figures as soon as they are available.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who cannot travel to Manilva immediately, including live video calls where one of our agents walks through the property and development with you in real time. In-person viewings can be arranged seven days a week with advance notice.
What is the rental potential for this apartment?
Bahía de las Rocas is within the Costa del Sol tourist zone and properties here are eligible for a tourist rental licence, subject to meeting Andalucía's regulatory requirements. Demand from short-term holiday renters is consistent from spring through to autumn. We recommend speaking with a local property manager for realistic occupancy and rate expectations before committing to a rental strategy.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is a Spanish tax identification number required for all property purchases. Once you decide to proceed, a reservation contract is signed and a reservation deposit paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point a further deposit of typically 10% of the purchase price is paid. The transaction is completed before a notary, who registers the title deed. We strongly recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to act on your behalf throughout.
