Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs apply to this property?
As a new build, this penthouse is subject to IVA (VAT) at 10% rather than transfer tax (ITP). On a purchase price of EUR 545,000, that adds EUR 54,500 in VAT. Notary fees typically range from EUR 600 to EUR 1,200, land registry fees from EUR 400 to EUR 800, and independent legal fees usually amount to around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT, so approximately EUR 6,545. Total purchase costs are typically around 13-14% on top of the asking price.
Can I get a mortgage on this property as a non-resident?
Non-resident buyers can generally obtain a Spanish mortgage, though lenders typically require a deposit of 30-40% of the purchase price. On EUR 545,000, that means providing between EUR 163,500 and EUR 218,000 from your own funds. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%. We recommend speaking with a specialist Spanish mortgage broker before committing.
What are the ongoing running costs for this penthouse?
The annual IBI (council tax) figure is not yet available for this new-build property. Community fees are currently listed as EUR 0, though buyers should confirm with the developer whether a fee will apply once the community of owners is established. Additional costs include home insurance, utilities and any applicable rubbish collection charge.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who cannot travel to Spain immediately. Contact us to arrange a live video call with one of our local agents, who can walk you through the property and the development in real time. In-person viewings can also be arranged at a time that suits you.
Is there rental potential in Bahía de las Rocas?
Bahía de las Rocas is a coastal area with demand for holiday rentals, particularly during the summer months. Its proximity to Duquesa marina, beaches along the Manilva coastline, and easy access to both Marbella and Gibraltar make it attractive to short-term visitors. Buyers should obtain a tourist rental licence from the Junta de Andalucía before letting the property. We recommend consulting a local property manager for realistic occupancy and income estimates.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will need a Spanish NIE number (tax identification number for foreigners) before completing any purchase. The process typically begins with a reservation agreement and a holding deposit, followed by a private purchase contract (arras) where usually 10% of the price is paid. The balance is paid at the notary on completion, when the title deed (escritura) is signed. For new builds, completion is tied to the developer's construction timeline. We strongly recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to review contracts and conduct due diligence throughout.
