Frequently Asked Questions
What are the total purchase costs on top of the EUR 5,200,000 asking price?
As this is a new build, you pay IVA (VAT) at 10% rather than transfer tax, which amounts to EUR 520,000. Stamp duty (AJD) adds a further 1.2%. Budget an additional EUR 600 to 1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400 to 800 for land registry fees, and approximately 1% plus VAT for independent legal advice. Total additional costs typically fall in the range of 12 to 13% of the purchase price.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage for this property?
Yes. Spanish banks generally lend up to 60 to 70% of the purchase price for non-residents, meaning a minimum deposit of around 30 to 40% is required. On a purchase price of EUR 5,200,000, that equates to a deposit of roughly EUR 1,560,000 to EUR 2,080,000. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%, though this varies by lender and applicant profile.
What are the ongoing running costs for this penthouse?
No community fee figure is registered with this listing at present. The annual IBI (local property tax) has not yet been set, as the development is new build. Utility costs will depend on usage. We recommend requesting a full breakdown of estimated annual costs from the developer before exchange.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling to Marbella?
Yes. OceanHome can arrange a live video viewing via WhatsApp or video call at a time that suits you. This allows you to tour the property and ask questions in real time. In-person viewings in Santa Clara can also be arranged seven days a week.
Is this property suitable for holiday rental?
Santa Clara falls within a tourist-licensed zone of Marbella, and new-build properties in the area have historically attracted strong short-term rental interest given the proximity to golf courses and the coast. You would need to obtain a Vivienda con Fines Turísticos (VFT) licence from the Junta de Andalucía before renting. We recommend speaking to a local property manager for occupancy data specific to this development.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which can be obtained at a Spanish consulate or in person in Spain. Once your offer is accepted, a reservation agreement is signed and a holding deposit paid, typically EUR 6,000 to 10,000. This is followed by a private purchase contract (contrato de arras), at which point 10% of the purchase price is usually paid. The transaction completes before a notary, at which point the title deeds (escritura) are signed and the balance transferred.
