Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs apply to this apartment?
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 to new-build transactions. 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 finalise your budget. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Non-resident buyers typically need 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 in Spain are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though terms vary by lender and individual circumstances. We recommend obtaining an agreement in principle before reserving.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently recorded as nil; buyers should confirm the final community fee schedule with the developer prior to exchange. IBI (annual council tax) has not yet been assessed for this new-build property and will be set by the local authority once the building is registered. Basura (refuse collection) charges are also not yet confirmed.
How can I arrange a viewing?
In-person viewings can be arranged through our team at a time that suits you. If you are unable to travel, we can organise a live video viewing via WhatsApp or FaceTime, during which an agent will walk through the property and the communal areas in real time. Contact us to book either option.
Is this apartment suitable for holiday rental?
Puerto de la Duquesa attracts consistent tourist demand throughout the year given its marina, beaches, and proximity to both Marbella and Gibraltar. Short-term holiday rentals are permitted in Andalucía subject to registering with the Junta de Andalucía's tourist accommodation register and displaying a licence number in all advertising. Ground-floor units in beachside developments are popular with families. We do not quote projected yields, but our local team can provide market context on rental demand in the area.
What steps are involved in buying this property?
The first practical step is obtaining a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which is required to sign any property contracts or open a Spanish bank account. Once you have agreed the purchase, a reservation contract and fee secures the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point typically 10% of the price is paid. The sale completes before a notary, at which point the remaining balance, taxes, and fees are settled and the title deed (escritura) is signed. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to carry out due diligence throughout the process.
