Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the EUR 780,000 asking price?
As a new-build property in Andalusia, IVA applies at 10%, which is EUR 78,000 on this price. You should also budget for notary fees of EUR 600 to 1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400 to 800, and legal fees of approximately 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (around EUR 9,360 including VAT). Total additional costs are typically 12 to 13% of the purchase price.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish banks generally lend up to 60 to 70% of the purchase price to non-residents, meaning a deposit of 30 to 40% is typically required. On EUR 780,000, that is a deposit of approximately EUR 234,000 to EUR 312,000. Variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain currently range from roughly 3.5% to 4.5%, though rates vary by lender and applicant profile. We can refer you to an independent mortgage broker.
What are the ongoing running costs for this villa?
No community fees apply to this property. IBI (council tax) and basura (refuse collection charge) figures are not yet confirmed for this new-build; both should be verified with the agent before exchange. As a guide, IBI on a property of this value in Manilva typically falls in the range of EUR 600 to 1,200 per year, though the actual figure depends on the catastral value assigned after completion.
How can I arrange a viewing?
Viewings can be arranged in person or by video call if you are not yet in Spain. Contact us to book a time that suits you. We can conduct a live video walkthrough of the plot and any show home, and we can provide additional photographs or technical documentation on request.
Is this property suitable for holiday rental?
El Castillo falls within the Manilva tourist area, and the Costa del Sol sees strong short-term rental demand from spring through to autumn. To let the property legally on a short-term basis, you would need to apply for a tourist rental licence from the Junta de Andalucía and register the property on the regional tourism register. We recommend speaking to a local property manager to assess realistic occupancy for a detached villa of this size in the area.
What is the legal process for buying this property in Spain?
First, you will need an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is a Spanish tax identification number required for any property purchase. Once you have agreed on the price, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit paid, typically EUR 3,000 to 6,000, to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (contrato de arras or compraventa), at which point 10% of the purchase price is usually paid. On a new-build, stage payments may apply during construction. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, at which point the balance is paid and the title deed (escritura) is signed and submitted to the land registry. We strongly advise appointing an independent Spanish solicitor before signing anything.
