Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for beyond the asking price?
As a new build in AndalucĂa, this purchase carries IVA (VAT) at 10% of the purchase price plus AJD stamp duty at 1.2%. ITP does not apply. Both IVA and AJD rates are set by the autonomous region of AndalucĂa. On top of these taxes, allow roughly EUR 600â1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400â800 for land registry fees, and around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT for a solicitor. Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet this region's conditions â for example, age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence â and it is worth checking before you budget.
Can I get a mortgage on this property as a non-resident?
Non-resident buyers in Spain can typically obtain a mortgage, though lenders generally require a deposit of 30â40% of the purchase price. Interest rates for non-resident mortgages currently range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%, depending on the lender and loan type. We can connect you with independent mortgage brokers who specialise in Spanish property finance for overseas buyers.
What are the ongoing running costs for this penthouse?
Community fees for this development are currently recorded as zero; buyers should verify this directly with the developer before exchange. Annual IBI (council tax) and basura (refuse) figures are not yet available for this new-build property. We recommend requesting these from the developer or confirming them with the local town hall once the building is registered.
Can I view this property remotely before travelling to Marbella?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call, allowing you to take a guided tour of the property and ask questions in real time. If you would prefer an in-person visit, we can arrange accompanied viewings in La Cerquilla with advance notice. Contact us to book either option.
Is this penthouse suitable as a rental investment?
La Cerquilla sits within the Marbella municipality, which is a recognised tourist area with strong short-term rental demand, particularly during the summer months. Penthouse properties of this size can appeal to holiday renters seeking proximity to Puerto BanĂşs and the golf valley. You will need a tourist rental licence from the Junta de AndalucĂa before letting the property. We are not able to guarantee specific yield figures, but our local agent can share market context for the area.
What are the main steps in the purchase process?
First, you will need an NIE (NĂşmero de IdentificaciĂłn de Extranjero), which is your Spanish tax identification number â this can be obtained at a Spanish consulate or in Spain itself. Once you agree terms with the developer, you pay a reservation fee to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point a further deposit is typically paid. For new builds, stage payments may apply during construction. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, at which point the remaining balance is paid and the title deed (escritura) is signed. We strongly recommend appointing an independent solicitor to carry out due diligence throughout.
