Frequently Asked Questions
What are the approximate purchase costs for this apartment?
As a new-build property, IVA applies at 10% of the purchase price (EUR 54,000), rather than the resale transfer tax. Additional costs include notary fees of approximately EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400–800, and legal fees of around 1% plus VAT (approximately EUR 5,400 plus VAT). Total purchase costs typically add 12–14% on top of the asking price.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish banks generally lend up to 60–70% of the purchase price for non-residents, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is typically required. On EUR 540,000, that equates to a deposit of EUR 162,000–216,000. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5% annually, though terms vary by lender and individual circumstances.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees for this development are currently listed at EUR 0 per month, though buyers should confirm whether this figure will change once the development is fully operational. No IBI (annual property tax) figure is yet available for this new-build unit. Buyers should also budget for utilities such as electricity, water, and contents insurance.
Can I view this property remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who cannot travel to the Costa del Sol immediately. Our agents can walk through the apartment and the wider development with you in real time. In-person viewings in Bahía de las Rocas can also be arranged at a time that suits you.
Does this apartment have rental potential?
Bahía de las Rocas and the wider Manilva area attract both long-term and holiday rental demand, given proximity to Sotogrande and the western Costa del Sol. New-build apartments in the area can be suitable for tourist rentals, subject to obtaining the relevant Junta de Andalucía rental licence. We recommend speaking with a local property manager to assess realistic rental periods and income.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once you agree terms, a reservation fee is paid to secure the property, typically EUR 3,000–6,000. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point a further deposit of around 10% is paid. The balance is settled at the notary on the completion date, when ownership formally transfers. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor throughout.
