Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs apply to this property?
As a new-build, IVA of 10% applies instead of transfer tax, equating to EUR 78,000 on the asking price of EUR 780,000. You should also allow for notary fees of EUR 600 to 1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400 to 800, and solicitor's fees of approximately 1% of the purchase price plus VAT. Total acquisition costs typically run to 12 to 14% above the sale price.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish banks generally lend up to 60 to 70% of the purchase price to non-residents, meaning a deposit of 30 to 40% is required. On EUR 780,000 that equates to a deposit of roughly EUR 234,000 to EUR 312,000. Current variable and fixed rates for non-residents are broadly in the range of 3.5 to 4.5%, though terms vary by lender and applicant profile.
What are the estimated running costs for this penthouse?
Community fees are currently shown as EUR 0; buyers should request a confirmed budget from the developer before completion. IBI (annual property tax) has not yet been assessed for this new-build unit and will be set once the property is registered. Basura (refuse collection) charges for Manilva are also to be confirmed. Utility contracts for electricity and water will need to be set up on completion.
Can I arrange a viewing, and are remote viewings possible?
Yes. In-person viewings can be arranged through OceanHome at a time that suits you. If you are based outside Spain, we also offer video viewings so you can walk through the property and ask questions in real time before committing to travel.
Is this property suitable as a rental investment?
Puerto de la Duquesa attracts a steady flow of leisure visitors due to its marina, beach, and proximity to golf courses and Estepona. New-build penthouses in this area can be let on short-term tourist licences subject to Junta de Andalucía regulations, or on longer-term assured tenancies. Contact us for current market rental data for comparable properties in the area.
How does the purchase process work in Spain?
The first step is obtaining a NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), the tax identification number required for all property transactions in Spain. Once agreed on price, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit of typically EUR 3,000 to 6,000 is paid. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point 10% of the purchase price is usually paid. The transaction is completed before a notary, who registers the title deed. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor throughout the process.
