Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for on top of the sale 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 fees. 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 — worth checking before you budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers in Spain can typically borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Variable and fixed mortgage rates for non-residents currently range broadly between 3.5% and 4.5% annually, though rates vary by lender and personal circumstances. A Spanish mortgage broker can help you compare offers before you commit.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees for this development are currently listed at zero; buyers should confirm the figure with the developer, as charges typically apply once the community is formally constituted. IBI (council tax) has not yet been set for this new-build property — the figure will be established following the first catastral valuation. Basura (refuse collection) charges have also not been confirmed.
How can I arrange a viewing?
Viewings can be arranged in person or via a live video call if you are not currently in Spain. Contact our team to book a time, and we can coordinate directly with the developer. We recommend requesting a site visit to see the communal areas and parking allocation as well as the apartment itself.
Is this apartment suitable as a rental investment?
Duquesa and the surrounding marina area have an active short-term holiday rental market, particularly during the summer months. The proximity to Puerto de la Duquesa marina and the 1.2 km distance to the beach make the property relevant to holiday renters. Buyers intending to let the property should obtain a tourist licence from the Junta de Andalucía before marketing it for short-term rental, as unlicensed lettings are subject to significant fines.
What are the main steps in the purchase process?
You will first need an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is the Spanish tax identification number required for any property transaction. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point a larger deposit — typically 10% — is paid. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, at which point the remaining balance and all taxes and fees are settled. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to act on your behalf throughout.
