Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs apply to this property?
As a new build in Andalucía, this purchase carries IVA (VAT) at 10% of the purchase price plus AJD stamp duty at 1.2%, both set by the Autonomous Community of Andalucía. ITP does not apply. 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. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and legal fees of approximately 1% of the purchase price plus VAT.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Non-resident buyers can generally borrow from Spanish lenders, though most banks require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain typically range from 3.5% to 4.5% per annum, though your lender will confirm the rate applicable to your circumstances. We recommend consulting an independent mortgage broker familiar with the Spanish market.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees for this development are currently listed at zero. IBI (local property tax) and basura (refuse collection) figures have not yet been confirmed for this new-build development — the agent can provide estimates once available. The property carries an energy rating of G.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who cannot attend in person, including live video calls and pre-recorded walkthroughs of the property and development. Contact the agent to schedule a remote or in-person viewing at a time that suits you.
Does this property have rental potential?
Manilva and the wider western Costa del Sol attract visitors throughout the year, given the area's proximity to Gibraltar, Marbella, and Sotogrande. A top-floor penthouse with a private solarium can be attractive to short-term renters. Rental licensing rules in Andalucía require registration with the regional tourism authority before letting. We recommend speaking to a local letting agent to understand realistic occupancy and income for this area.
What is the purchase process in Spain?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which can be obtained through a Spanish consulate or in person in Spain. Once you agree a price, a reservation agreement is signed and a holding deposit paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point typically 10% of the purchase price is paid. Completion takes place before a notary, who registers the title deed. We strongly recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor before signing any documentation.
