Frequently Asked Questions
What are the total purchase costs on top of the asking price?
As a new build, this apartment is subject to IVA at 10% instead of ITP, which amounts to approximately EUR 43,500 on the EUR 435,000 asking price. On top of that, allow for notary fees of EUR 600 to 1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400 to 800, and independent legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (approximately EUR 4,350 plus VAT). Total additional costs typically fall in the range of EUR 50,000 to EUR 54,000.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish banks generally offer non-resident buyers a loan-to-value of up to 60 to 70%, meaning a deposit of 30 to 40% of the purchase price is required. On EUR 435,000, that equates to a deposit of approximately EUR 130,500 to EUR 174,000. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates with Spanish lenders are broadly in the range of 3.5% to 4.5% annually, though individual offers vary by lender and applicant profile.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees and IBI (annual local property tax) have not yet been confirmed for this development. Please ask the agent for the latest estimates. As a new-build property, IBI is sometimes exempt or reduced for the first few years depending on the local council. Utility contracts for electricity and water will be set up separately once the property is handed over.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. OceanHome can arrange a video viewing via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who are not currently in Spain, so you can review the apartment and ask questions before committing to travel. In-person viewings can be scheduled on request.
Is this apartment suitable for short-term rental?
Puerto de la Duquesa is an established tourist area with active demand for short-term rental properties, particularly during the summer months and around the marina. A tourist rental licence (VFT) will be required, and applications are handled through the Junta de Andalucía. Rental income potential will depend on occupancy rates, management costs, and seasonal pricing. OceanHome can connect you with local rental management companies if required.
What is the process for buying this property?
The first step is obtaining a Spanish NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is required for any property purchase. Once the price is agreed, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit of typically EUR 3,000 to 6,000 is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point a further deposit of around 10% is paid. The final balance, taxes, and fees are settled at the notary on the completion date, when ownership is formally transferred.
