Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the asking price?
As a new-build property, IVA (VAT) at 10% applies rather than ITP transfer tax. On EUR 473,000 that adds approximately EUR 47,300. You should also budget EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for land registry fees, and roughly 1% plus VAT for legal representation. Total purchase costs typically run to 12–13% of the price.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Spanish banks generally lend up to 60–70% of the purchase price to non-residents, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is required. On EUR 473,000 that equates to EUR 141,900–189,200. Current variable and fixed rates from Spanish lenders range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5% AER. We can introduce you to independent mortgage brokers who work with international buyers.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently listed at EUR 0 per month; buyers must verify the final figure with the developer before contracts are signed. IBI (annual council tax) has not yet been assessed for this development and will be confirmed once the property is registered with the local catastro. An estimated basura (waste collection) charge may also apply annually.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or Zoom for buyers who cannot travel to Duquesa immediately. For in-person visits, we can co-ordinate access with the developer's on-site sales team. Contact us to book either option at a time that suits you.
Is this property suitable as a holiday let?
Duquesa is within the Costa del Sol tourist corridor and benefits from year-round visitor demand, particularly from golfers and marina users. New-build properties in this area have historically performed well on the short-term rental market. A tourist licence from the Junta de Andalucía is required before letting legally and conditions and availability should be confirmed before purchase.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once you have agreed the price, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit paid, typically EUR 3,000–6,000. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras) where around 10% of the price is paid. The balance is settled at the notary upon signing the escritura (title deed). As a new build, the developer's schedule will govern the timeline.
