About Cerros del Águila, Mijas
Mijas is one of the most popular destinations on Spain's Costa Blanca for international property buyers. With over 300 days of sunshine per year, excellent healthcare facilities, and a large expat community, the area offers an outstanding quality of life.
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 region of Andalucía. ITP does not apply. Additional costs include notary fees (typically 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 — worth checking before you budget.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish lenders typically offer non-residents up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Current variable and fixed rates for non-residents generally range from 3.5% to 4.5%, though terms vary by lender and applicant profile. We recommend obtaining a mortgage agreement in principle before making an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are estimated at EUR 90 per month, covering maintenance of the communal pool, gardens, gymnasium, and shared areas. Annual IBI (council tax) is estimated at EUR 620. Both figures are estimates at this stage of the development. Utility costs will depend on usage.
Can I view the property remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who cannot travel to the Costa del Sol immediately. We can walk through the show apartment or available unit live, and provide additional photographs or plans on request. In-person viewings can be arranged seven days a week with advance notice.
What is the rental potential in Cerros del Águila?
Mijas Costa is a tourist-licensed area of Málaga province, and properties in Cerros del Águila have been used for short-term holiday lettings. Proximity to golf courses and the coast at 4km makes one-bedroom apartments attractive to short-stay visitors. You will need a tourist rental licence from the Junta de Andalucía before letting the property on a short-term basis. We can refer you to a local management agency for occupancy guidance specific to this development.
What steps are involved in buying this property?
First, obtain a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which is required for any property purchase in Spain. Once you agree a price, a reservation fee is paid to take the unit off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (contrato de arras or developer contract), at which point typically 10% of the purchase price is paid. For new builds, stage payments during construction are common. Completion takes place before a notary, who registers the title with the Land Registry. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to review all documentation before you commit.
