Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for beyond 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. In addition, allow roughly 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 this region'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?
Non-resident buyers in Spain typically need to provide a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price, as Spanish lenders generally finance up to 60–70% for non-residents. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish banks range broadly between 3.5% and 4.5%, though your individual rate will depend on your financial profile and the lender. We recommend speaking with an independent mortgage broker with experience in the Spanish market.
What are the ongoing running costs for this property?
Community fees are currently listed as zero for this development, though you should confirm whether this will remain the case once the community is formally constituted. IBI (annual property tax) and basura (refuse collection charge) figures have not yet been confirmed for this new-build and should be requested directly from the agent or developer.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who cannot visit in person, which can be arranged at a convenient time via video call. This allows you to see the apartment, the communal areas, and the surrounding neighbourhood before committing to a trip. In-person viewings can also be arranged with advance notice.
Is this apartment suitable as a rental investment?
Duquesa has an active short-term rental market, particularly during the spring and summer months, driven by its proximity to the coast and Puerto de la Duquesa marina. A tourist rental licence will be required to let the property on a short-term basis in Andalucía. We recommend speaking with a local property manager about occupancy patterns and achievable rates for this type of apartment in the area. We do not quote yield percentages, as these depend on factors specific to each owner and management approach.
What are the main steps in the purchase process?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (foreigner identification number), which is required to sign any property contract or pay Spanish taxes. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation fee is typically paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), under which a further deposit — commonly 10% of the agreed price — is paid. The transaction completes before a Spanish notary, at which point the balance is transferred and the title deed (escritura) is signed. Your solicitor will then register the property in your name at the land registry.
