Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs apply to this property?
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 purchases. 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. 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 — and these are worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Spanish banks typically lend non-resident buyers up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation, whichever is lower, so a deposit of 30–40% is generally required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain broadly range from 3.5% to 4.5% per annum, though the rate offered will depend on the lender, the loan term, and your financial profile. We can refer you to an independent mortgage broker with experience in cross-border applications.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently set at zero; buyers should confirm with the developer whether a community charge will be introduced once the building is fully occupied. IBI (annual council tax) has not yet been assigned, as the property has not received its first cadastral valuation. Owners should also budget for utility connection charges and contents insurance.
Can I view this property remotely?
Yes. In addition to in-person viewings at the development in Duquesa, we offer video viewings by appointment. Our agents can walk you through the show unit or available plots via live video call, answer questions in real time, and share additional floor plans or specification documents by email.
Does this property have rental potential?
Duquesa and the broader Manilva coastline attract a consistent flow of visitors throughout the year, owing to the marina, nearby golf courses, and the area's position between Gibraltar and Marbella. Short-term tourist rental licences in Andalucía must be obtained before letting, and the applicable rules are set at regional and municipal level. We recommend taking independent legal advice on licensing before committing to a rental strategy.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which can be obtained via a Spanish consulate or in person in Spain, often with the help of a solicitor. Once you have agreed on the property, a reservation fee is paid to take it off the market, followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa) in which a further deposit — commonly 10% of the price — is exchanged. The balance is paid on the day of completion before a notary, who oversees the signing of the public deed. The deed is then registered at the land registry. For a new build, the developer must hold the completion funds in a protected account until the property is handed over.
