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% of the purchase price. ITP does not apply. Additional costs typically include notary fees (EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (EUR 400–800), and legal fees at 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 it is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers in Spain can generally access mortgages covering 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is typically required. Current variable and fixed rates broadly range from 3.5% to 4.5%, though individual lender terms vary. A mortgage broker with experience in Spanish non-resident lending is recommended.
What are the ongoing running costs for this property?
Community fees for this development are currently nil. IBI (annual council tax) and basura (refuse collection charge) figures have not yet been confirmed for this new build; the agent can provide these once they are assessed. We recommend requesting written confirmation of all recurring charges before exchange.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. In addition to in-person viewings, we offer video viewings for buyers who are not yet in Spain or who prefer to carry out an initial assessment remotely. Contact the agent to arrange either option at a time that suits you.
Is this property suitable as a rental investment?
El Castillo and the wider Manilva coast attract both short-term holiday visitors and long-term tenants, given the area's position between Estepona and Gibraltar. A tourist rental licence would be required for short-term lettings in Andalucía. The agent can advise on local rental demand and licensing requirements for this specific development.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which your solicitor can apply for on your behalf. The process typically begins with a reservation agreement and payment of a reservation fee to take the property off the market, followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa) with a further deposit, and finally completion before a notary who registers the title deed. Using an independent Spanish solicitor throughout is strongly advised.
