Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs apply to this 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% 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 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 — so it is worth checking before you budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Spanish banks typically lend non-resident buyers up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of around 30–40% is usually required. Mortgage interest rates for non-residents currently range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%, depending on the lender and whether you opt for a fixed or variable rate. We can refer you to an independent mortgage broker with experience in cross-border transactions.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently recorded at zero for this development; buyers should confirm the final figure with the developer before exchange. IBI (local property tax) has not yet been assessed for this property. Buyers should also allow for utilities, buildings insurance, and an annual waste collection charge (basura), which varies by municipality.
Can I view the apartment remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who cannot travel to Manilva immediately. Our agents can walk through the apartment and the development on a live video call, covering the communal areas, pool, and building entrance. Contact us to arrange a convenient time, and we can follow up with an in-person viewing when you are ready.
Does the apartment have rental potential?
Bahia de las Rocas attracts consistent seasonal demand for short-term holiday lettings, with its coastal position and easy access to Gibraltar and the Andalucían interior. Any rental activity requires registration with the Junta de Andalucía and compliance with regional tourist rental regulations. We recommend speaking with a local letting agent for current occupancy and rate information before making any projections.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), the tax identification number required for all Spanish property transactions. Once terms are agreed, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit paid to secure the property. A private purchase contract follows, at which point a further deposit of around 10% of the purchase price is typically paid. The transaction completes before a notary, who registers the title deed. We strongly recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to act on your behalf throughout.
