Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for on top of 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 include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically 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 the region's conditions — for example, age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — and it is worth checking these before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer in Spain?
Non-resident buyers can generally obtain a Spanish mortgage, though lenders typically require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Interest rates currently range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5% depending on the lender and product. You should obtain a mortgage offer in principle before proceeding, as timelines for new-build completions can be fixed.
What are the ongoing running costs for this property?
Community fees for this development are currently set at zero. The annual IBI (local council tax) figure has not yet been confirmed for this unit; please ask the agent for the current estimate. Basura (refuse collection) charges have not been confirmed either. Both IBI and basura are payable to the local municipality once the property is registered.
Can I view this property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. OceanHome offers video viewings for buyers who cannot visit in person. A member of the team can conduct a live walk-through via video call, covering the unit, the communal areas, the solarium, and the surrounding development. Contact us to arrange a time that suits you.
Is this property suitable for tourist rental?
The property is listed as eligible for a tourist rental licence, which is required for short-term holiday letting in Andalucía. Bahía de las Rocas is an established coastal area with consistent tourist demand, particularly in the summer months. Rental yield figures depend on occupancy, management costs, and pricing, so we recommend consulting a local rental management company for realistic income projections specific to this development.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), the tax identification number required for all property transactions in Spain. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation deposit is typically paid to secure the unit, followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa) under which a further deposit — commonly 10% of the purchase price — is paid. The balance is settled at completion before a notary, at which point ownership transfers and the property is registered in your name. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to act on your behalf throughout.
