Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for on top of the asking 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 to new-build transactions. On top of tax, allow approximately EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for land registry fees, and around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT for legal representation. Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet Andalucía'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 I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
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 usually required. Variable and fixed rates currently range from around 3.5% to 4.5%, though terms vary by lender and applicant profile. We can refer you to independent mortgage brokers with experience in cross-border financing.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently set at zero for this development. The annual IBI (council tax) figure is not yet available from the land registry, as the catastral reference has not been issued for this new-build unit. Your solicitor can request an estimate from the local Manilva council once the property is registered.
Can I view the apartment remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings by appointment, including a live walkthrough via video call so you can ask questions in real time. A selection of photos and development plans are also available on request. In-person viewings can be arranged through our Costa del Sol office.
Is this apartment suitable for short-term rental?
Bahía de las Rocas sits in a tourist zone within Manilva, which sees summer demand from beach-goers and visitors using Puerto de la Duquesa marina. Short-term holiday lets require a Junta de Andalucía tourist licence (VFT registration), which your solicitor can advise on during the purchase process. Demand in the area supports both summer and shoulder-season occupancy.
What does the purchase process look like from offer to completion?
The process begins with obtaining an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is required for any property purchase in Spain and can be arranged through a Spanish consulate or in-country. Once your offer is accepted, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit is paid, typically EUR 3,000–6,000, to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), where around 10% of the purchase price is exchanged. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the remaining balance, taxes, and fees are settled and the title deed (escritura) is signed.
