Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for beyond the asking price?
As a new build in Andalucía, this purchase carries IVA (VAT) at 10% of the purchase price plus AJD stamp duty at 1.2%. ITP does not apply. On top of those taxes, allow roughly EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for land registry registration, and around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT for a solicitor. 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 it is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident?
Non-resident buyers can generally obtain Spanish mortgages, though most lenders require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Interest rates for non-resident mortgages currently sit in the range of 3.5–4.5%, depending on the lender and whether you choose a fixed or variable product. An independent mortgage broker with Spanish market experience can help you compare options.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently recorded as nil for this development; please confirm with the developer before proceeding. The annual IBI (council tax) figure has not yet been set by the local authority, as this is a new-build property; it will be assessed and confirmed following completion. Basura (refuse collection) charges have not been provided and should also be confirmed.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We can arrange a live video viewing via WhatsApp or video call at a time that suits you, allowing you to walk through the property and ask questions in real time. If you would prefer to visit in person, we can schedule an accompanied viewing at Puerto de la Duquesa with advance notice.
Is this property suitable for holiday rental?
Puerto de la Duquesa is an established tourist area within Manilva, and top-floor marina-facing apartments in this location attract consistent short-let demand from late spring through early autumn. Andalucía requires a tourist rental licence (Vivienda con Fines Turísticos) before any paid letting; your solicitor can advise on the application process. We do not quote yield percentages as returns depend on management costs, occupancy rates and seasonal variation.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will need a Spanish NIE number (tax identification number for foreigners) before completing — your solicitor can apply for this on your behalf. The process typically begins with a reservation agreement and a small holding deposit to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point a further deposit, usually 10% of the purchase price, becomes payable. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, at which point the balance and all taxes are settled and title passes to you.
