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. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and legal fees (usually 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 this is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
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 mortgage rates in Spain range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5% depending on the lender and your financial profile. A mortgage broker with experience in Spanish property can help you compare options before you commit.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently listed at zero; buyers should seek written confirmation of the ongoing service charge from the developer before exchange. The annual IBI figure is not yet available as the catastro reference has not been assigned for this new-build. Basura charges are also to be confirmed. Budget for utilities including electricity, water, and internet on top of any community charges.
Can I view the apartment remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. OceanHome can arrange a live video viewing via WhatsApp or video call so you can see the development and ask questions in real time. Detailed walk-through videos and additional photographs of the show unit or CGI renders are available on request. In-person viewings can be arranged with advance notice.
Is this apartment suitable as a rental investment?
Bahia de las Rocas benefits from a coastal location close to Sotogrande and several golf courses, which supports both short-term holiday and longer-term residential rental demand throughout the year. The western Costa del Sol attracts visitors from spring to autumn, and the proximity to the Gibraltar border brings a secondary market of workers and corporate tenants. Your solicitor can advise on the tourist rental licence process in Andalucía.
What is the typical purchase process for a new-build in Spain?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which your solicitor can apply for on your behalf. Once terms are agreed, a reservation fee takes the property off the market. A private purchase contract follows, at which point a further stage payment is typically made. The final balance is paid at the notary on completion, when the title deed is signed and ownership transfers to you. Instructing an independent solicitor before you reserve is strongly advised.
