Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the EUR 480,000 asking price?
As a new-build in Andalusia, VAT (IVA) at 10% applies rather than resale transfer tax, adding EUR 48,000. On top of that, allow EUR 600 to 1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400 to 800 for land registry fees, and approximately 1% plus VAT for a solicitor. Total purchase costs typically fall between 12% and 13% of the purchase price.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish banks generally lend up to 60 to 70% of the purchase price for non-residents, meaning a deposit of 30 to 40% is required. On EUR 480,000 that equates to EUR 144,000 to EUR 192,000. Current variable and fixed rates are broadly in the 3.5% to 4.5% range, though terms vary by lender and applicant profile.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently registered at EUR 0, though this figure may change once the development is complete and the owners' community is formally established. IBI (annual council tax) figures are not yet available for this new-build. Buyers should ask the agent for the latest information on both charges before exchange.
Can I view the apartment remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. OceanHome can arrange a video viewing via WhatsApp or video call at a time that suits you. This is a practical first step before committing to a trip, and our agents can walk through the apartment and the development in real time.
Is this apartment suitable as a rental investment?
Puerto de la Duquesa attracts both short-term holiday visitors and longer-term residents due to its marina, golf courses, and proximity to Málaga airport. New-build apartments in the area can be eligible for tourist rental licences, subject to Junta de Andalucía regulations. We recommend taking specific legal advice on licensing requirements before purchasing for rental purposes.
How does the buying process work in Spain?
First, obtain an NIE (foreigner identification number) from a Spanish consulate or in Spain. Once you agree a price, a reservation deposit of around EUR 6,000 to EUR 10,000 takes the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), typically with 10% of the price paid at that stage. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the remaining balance and all taxes are settled and the title deed is signed.
