Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the EUR 1,065,000 asking price?
As a new-build, this villa is subject to IVA (VAT) at 10% rather than transfer tax, which adds EUR 106,500. On top of that, budget approximately EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for land registry registration, and around 1% plus VAT for legal representation. Total additional costs typically come to around 12–13% of the purchase price.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish banks generally lend non-residents up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation (whichever is lower), meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. On EUR 1,065,000, that equates to roughly EUR 320,000–430,000 in equity. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates are in the region of 3.5–4.5% depending on the lender and your financial profile.
What are the ongoing running costs for this villa?
No community fees are registered for this property. IBI (council tax) and basura (rubbish collection) figures are not yet confirmed in the listing data; the agent can provide estimated amounts based on the cadastral value once the property is registered. As a new-build, these figures will be established after completion.
Can I view this villa remotely before travelling to Manilva?
Yes. OceanHome offers video viewings for buyers who cannot visit in person. A video call walkthrough of the plot, build progress, and surrounding El Castillo neighbourhood can be arranged at a time that suits you. Contact the agent to schedule either a remote or an in-person viewing.
Does this villa have rental potential?
El Castillo sits within the Costa del Sol tourist area, and Manilva municipality does permit short-term holiday lets subject to obtaining a Vivienda con Fines Turísticos licence from the Junta de Andalucía. Demand in the area is supported by proximity to Puerto de la Duquesa marina and the beaches. The agent can advise on licence requirements and comparable rental activity in the neighbourhood.
What steps are involved in buying this property?
First, obtain a Spanish NIE (foreigner identification number), which is required for all property transactions. Once you have agreed a price, a reservation contract and deposit (typically EUR 3,000–6,000) takes the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras) where a further deposit, usually 10% of the price, is paid. The sale completes before a notary, at which point the balance is transferred and the title deed (escritura) is signed and presented for registry.
