Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs for this apartment?
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 typically include notary fees (EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (EUR 400–800) and legal fees at 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 — so it is worth checking before you budget.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Non-resident buyers typically need a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price, as Spanish lenders generally finance up to 60–70% for non-residents. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates for non-residents are broadly in the range of 3.5–4.5% per annum, though terms vary by lender and applicant profile. A Spanish mortgage broker can help you compare products.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently recorded as nil for this development; confirm this figure with the agent as the development is new build and fees may be set once the community is formally constituted. The annual IBI (council tax) figure is not yet available from the listing record — ask the agent for an estimate based on the catastral value once assigned. There are no basura (waste collection) figures on record at present.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. Video viewings are available for buyers who cannot travel to Marbella immediately. Contact the OceanHome team to schedule a live video walkthrough of the show unit or the specific plot. In-person viewings can be arranged at short notice for those able to visit Santa María directly.
What is the rental potential in Santa María?
Santa María and the wider Elviria area attract consistent demand from short-term visitors due to proximity to golf courses, beaches and Marbella's amenities. New-build apartments of this size with private pools are competitive in the holiday rental market. Your agent can provide current rental data for comparable properties in the neighbourhood; we do not publish yield estimates as these vary with occupancy and management costs.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, obtain an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), the tax identification number required for all property transactions in Spain. A reservation agreement is then signed and a holding deposit paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point typically 10% of the purchase price is paid. Completion takes place before a notary, who registers the title deed. Your solicitor will carry out due-diligence checks on the new-build licences, developer guarantees and community status throughout the process.
