Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs should I budget for?
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. 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. 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.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident?
Non-resident buyers in Spain can typically borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish lenders are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though terms vary by lender and personal circumstances. We recommend obtaining a mortgage in principle before making an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees for this apartment are currently nil. The annual IBI (council tax) figure is not yet confirmed for this new-build unit — your solicitor can request the catastral value once registration is complete. Basura (refuse collection) charges are also to be confirmed. Your legal representative can clarify both figures prior to completion.
Can I view the property remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings by appointment, allowing you to tour the apartment and communal areas in real time with one of our agents. In-person viewings at the Residencial Duquesa development can also be arranged. Contact us to book either option.
Is this apartment suitable as a rental investment?
Residencial Duquesa is located in the Manilva area of the western Costa del Sol, which attracts both short-term holiday visitors and longer-term residents. The marina, beach access, and the range of communal facilities make properties here appealing to rental guests. You will need a tourist rental licence from the Junta de Andalucía to let the property short-term; your solicitor can advise on the application process and any conditions.
What does the purchase process involve?
The first practical step is obtaining an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), the tax identification number required for any property purchase in Spain. Once you agree terms, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point typically 10% of the purchase price is paid. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the balance, taxes and fees are settled and title transfers to you. The transaction is then registered at the land registry.
