Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for on top of the sale 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%, set by the Autonomous Community of Andalucía. ITP does not apply to new-build purchases. You should also allow approximately EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for land registry fees, and around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT for legal representation. 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 — and it is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers can typically obtain a mortgage in Spain, though lenders generally require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Variable and fixed interest rates currently run in the region of 3.5–4.5% depending on the lender, your financial profile and the loan term. It is advisable to obtain a mortgage agreement in principle before making an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs for this property?
Community fees are currently EUR 0 per year. The annual IBI (council tax) figure has not yet been set for this new-build property. Utility contracts for water, electricity and internet will be set up in your name on completion. Budget for waste collection charges, which are levied by the local council and vary by municipality.
How can I arrange a viewing?
Viewings can be booked in person or as a live video tour if you are not currently in Spain. Contact the OceanHome team to schedule a time that suits you, and we will coordinate directly with the developer.
Is this penthouse suitable as a rental investment?
Santa María's location close to Marbella's golf corridor and the coast makes short-term holiday rental a realistic option, subject to obtaining a regional tourist licence. Demand in this part of the Costa del Sol remains consistent across the summer months and extends into spring and autumn. We recommend speaking to a local property management company for current occupancy and rate data before making projections.
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 through a local solicitor in Spain. Once you agree a price, a reservation fee is 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. The balance is settled at the notary on the day of completion, when title transfers to you and the deeds are signed.
