Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the asking price?
As this is a new-build, you pay IVA at 10% instead of transfer tax, which amounts to EUR 121,000 on the asking price of EUR 1,210,000. On top of that, allow approximately EUR 600 to 1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400 to 800 for land registry fees, and around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT for legal representation. In total, budget for roughly 12 to 13% above the asking price.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish banks typically lend non-residents up to 60 to 70% of the purchase price or valuation, whichever is lower, meaning a deposit of 30 to 40% is usually required. At EUR 1,210,000, a 40% deposit would be EUR 484,000. Current variable mortgage rates from Spanish lenders are broadly in the 3.5 to 4.5% range, though fixed-rate products are also available. We recommend obtaining an agreement in principle before making an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently listed as EUR 0 per month; buyers should verify the finalised figure directly with the developer before contracts are signed. IBI (annual council tax) has not yet been assessed for this property. Utility contracts for water and electricity will need to be set up upon completion. Budget also for annual home insurance, which typically runs EUR 300 to 600 for a property of this value.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who are unable to travel to Puerto de la Duquesa in person. Our agent will walk through the property live via video call at a time that suits you, covering all rooms and any specific areas you want to see. In-person viewings can also be arranged with 48 hours' notice.
Is this property suitable as a rental investment?
Puerto de la Duquesa is a tourist area with a busy summer season centred on the marina and nearby beaches. A property of this size and specification on the top floor of a new-build is likely to attract both short-term holiday lets and longer-term seasonal rentals. A tourist rental licence will be required from the Junta de Andalucía before the property can be legally advertised for short-term lets. We can connect you with a local rental management company to discuss realistic occupancy expectations.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which can be obtained through a Spanish consulate or by a lawyer acting under power of attorney. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit paid, typically EUR 6,000 to 10,000, to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa) with a further deposit, usually 10% of the purchase price. The sale is completed before a notary, at which point the balance is paid and keys are handed over. For new-builds, completion is tied to the developer's handover date.
