Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for beyond 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 at approximately 1% of the purchase price plus VAT. All tax rates are set by the Autonomous Community of Andalucía. 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 budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers can generally obtain a Spanish mortgage, though most lenders require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Interest rates for new mortgages currently range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%, depending on the lender and whether you choose a fixed or variable rate. You will need a Spanish NIE number before a mortgage can be arranged.
What are the ongoing running costs for this property?
Community fees are currently recorded as zero, but buyers should verify the final figure with the developer as this is a new-build property still in the pre-completion phase. IBI (annual council tax) and basura (refuse collection) charges have not yet been assessed for this property. These figures will be confirmed once the property is registered with the local authority.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who cannot travel to the Costa del Sol in person. Our agents can conduct a live video walkthrough of the show unit or the completed apartment, covering the interior, solarium, communal pool, and parking spaces. Contact us to arrange a time that suits you.
Is this property suitable as a rental investment?
San Luis de Sabinillas and the wider Manilva coastline attract short-term holiday rental demand throughout the spring and summer months, with additional off-season demand from golfers and long-stay visitors. A top-floor position with a private solarium can command a premium in the short-let market. You will need a tourist rental licence from the Junta de Andalucía before listing the property for holiday lets. We recommend speaking to a local property manager for realistic occupancy and income estimates specific to this area.
What steps are involved in buying this property?
The process begins with obtaining a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which is required for all property transactions. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation contract and deposit are signed to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point a larger deposit is typically paid. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, who registers the transfer. For a new build, completion usually occurs on handover of the finished property. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to oversee the legal checks throughout.
