Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs for a new-build apartment in Andalucía?
As a new build in Andalucía, this purchase carries IVA (VAT) at 10% of the purchase price plus AJD stamp duty at 1.2%. ITP does not apply. On top of those taxes, you should budget for 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 this region's conditions — for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — worth checking before you budget.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Non-resident buyers 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 broadly range from 3.5% to 4.5%, though your personal rate will depend on your financial profile and chosen lender. An independent mortgage broker can help you compare products before you commit.
What are the running costs for this apartment?
Community fees for the development have not yet been formally set; please ask the agent for the projected figure. IBI (annual council tax) has not yet been assessed for this new-build property. You should also allow for an annual rubbish collection charge, the amount of which will be confirmed once the property is registered with Marbella Town Hall.
Can I view this apartment remotely?
Yes. OceanHome can arrange a live video viewing via WhatsApp, FaceTime, or Zoom at a time that suits you. We can walk through the show unit or the specific plot you are interested in, and follow up with floor plans and a written summary. In-person viewings in Rio Real are also available by appointment.
Is this apartment suitable as a rental investment?
Rio Real is within Marbella's tourist licence zone, and properties of this specification — with golf and sea access within 2 km — attract consistent short-stay demand throughout the year. You would need to apply for a Vivienda con Fines Turísticos licence from the Junta de Andalucía before letting the property short-term. The agent can refer you to a local property manager who can provide realistic occupancy data for comparable units in Rio Real.
What is the purchase process for this property?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which can be obtained at a Spanish consulate or, if you are already in Spain, at a National Police station. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation fee (typically EUR 6,000–10,000) secures the property and takes it off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point a further deposit — commonly 10% of the purchase price less the reservation — becomes payable. The transaction is completed before a Spanish notary, who registers the title deed. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor before signing anything.
