Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs for this villa?
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. On top of those taxes, budget for notary fees of approximately EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of approximately EUR 400–800, and legal fees of 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 — so it is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Spanish lenders typically offer non-resident buyers a loan-to-value of 60–70%, meaning a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price is usually required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5% per annum, though the rate you are offered will depend on your financial profile and the lender. We recommend speaking to a Spanish mortgage broker early in the process.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees for this villa are zero. Annual IBI (council tax) and rubbish collection charges are not yet confirmed for this new-build and should be requested from the agent before you exchange contracts. Utility connections — water, electricity and internet — will be the owner's responsibility as there is no communal infrastructure to contribute to.
Can I arrange a viewing, including remotely?
Yes. In-person viewings can be arranged on weekdays and weekends by appointment. If you are based outside Spain, we can arrange a live video viewing via WhatsApp or video call so you can tour the property in real time with one of our agents on site. Contact us to book either option.
Is this villa suitable as a holiday rental investment?
Manilva and the surrounding Costa del Sol coastline attract rental demand throughout the year, with peak occupancy from May to October. El Castillo's proximity to Puerto de la Duquesa marina, local beaches and several golf courses makes a 4-bedroom villa of this size attractive to larger groups and family renters. A tourist rental licence (licencia de alquiler vacacional) must be obtained from the Junta de Andalucía before letting the property. We can put you in touch with a local property management company for realistic occupancy and yield estimates.
What steps are involved in buying this property?
First, obtain a Spanish NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is required for any property purchase in Spain. Once you have agreed the price, a reservation deposit is typically paid to take the property off the market while due diligence is carried out. This is followed by a private purchase contract (contrato de arras), at which point a further deposit — usually 10% of the purchase price — is paid. The balance is settled at the notary on the day of completion, when the escritura (title deed) is signed and ownership is formally transferred. We strongly recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to represent your interests throughout.
