Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs for this apartment?
As a new-build property, VAT (IVA) applies at 10% rather than transfer tax, which amounts to EUR 36,920 on the asking price of EUR 369,200. You should also budget for notary fees of approximately EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400–800, and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (approximately EUR 3,692 plus VAT). Total purchase costs are typically 12–14% on top of the purchase price.
Can I get a mortgage to buy this property?
Non-resident buyers in Spain typically need a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. On EUR 369,200 that means having EUR 110,760–147,680 available. Spanish lenders currently offer mortgage rates broadly in the range of 3.5–4.5% for non-residents. We can connect you with a Spanish mortgage broker to discuss your specific situation.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently EUR 0 per month for this development. Annual IBI (council tax) and basura (refuse collection) figures are not yet confirmed for this new-build and should be verified with the agent before exchange. Additional costs include home insurance and utility bills.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who cannot travel to Manilva immediately. Contact us to schedule a live walkthrough or to receive a recorded video tour of the development and show apartment.
What is the rental potential in El Castillo?
El Castillo is within the Manilva municipality on the Costa del Sol, an area with active demand for holiday rentals during spring, summer, and autumn. To let the property as a tourist rental, you will need to register with the Junta de Andalucía and obtain a tourist licence. We recommend seeking local rental management advice to understand realistic occupancy and income expectations before purchasing.
How does the purchase process work in Spain?
You will first need a Spanish NIE number (tax identification number), which can be obtained at a Spanish consulate or in Spain. Once you agree a price, you pay a reservation fee to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (contrato de arras), typically with a 10% deposit. The final balance is paid at the notary, where the title deed (escritura) is signed and ownership formally transfers to you.
