Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs for this property?
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 Andalucía autonomous region. ITP does not apply. Additional costs include 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 — and it is 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. Variable and fixed mortgage rates for non-residents in Spain currently range broadly between 3.5% and 4.5%, though your lender and individual circumstances will determine the exact terms. We can refer you to specialist brokers with experience in Spanish mortgage applications.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees for this property are currently zero. The annual IBI (council tax) figure has not yet been confirmed, as this is a new-build development; your solicitor will be able to obtain an estimate once the catastral reference is registered. Rubbish collection (basura) costs are also to be confirmed. We recommend budgeting for utility connection costs when purchasing a new-build property.
How can I arrange a viewing?
Viewings can be arranged in person by contacting OceanHome directly. If you are based outside Spain or cannot travel immediately, we can organise a live video viewing with a local agent who will walk you through the property and the development in real time, including the solarium level and communal areas. Contact us to schedule a time that suits you.
What is the rental potential in Santa María, Marbella?
Santa María benefits from year-round demand linked to its proximity to Santa María Golf and Country Club and to central Marbella's restaurants, beaches and marina. Holiday rental activity is active across this part of the Costa del Sol, and top-floor penthouses with private solariums tend to achieve strong occupancy in the summer months. Licensing requirements apply to short-term holiday lets in Andalucía; your legal adviser can confirm the current registration process. We do not quote yield percentages, as these depend on your management approach and annual availability.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which your solicitor can apply for on your behalf. The process typically begins with a reservation agreement and payment of a reservation fee to secure the property. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point a further deposit is paid — commonly 10% of the purchase price. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the balance and all taxes are settled. We strongly recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor before signing any documents.
