Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for on top of the asking 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% of the purchase price. ITP does not apply to new-build purchases. Both rates are set by the Autonomous Community of Andalucía. On top of those taxes, allow roughly EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for land registry fees, and around 1% plus VAT for a solicitor. Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet Andalucía's conditions — for example, age, large-family or disability status, or buying as a primary residence — so it is worth checking eligibility before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Spanish banks typically lend non-residents up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation, whichever is lower, meaning you should expect to provide a deposit of 30–40% from your own funds. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates for non-residents are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though individual offers vary by lender and applicant profile. We can introduce you to an independent mortgage broker with experience in Costa del Sol purchases.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently listed at zero for this development; buyers should verify this figure with the developer and their solicitor before completion, as fees may be set once the community is formally constituted. The IBI (annual property tax) has not yet been assigned for this new-build unit. Basura (refuse collection) charges have not yet been confirmed. Budget for utilities — electricity, water and internet — separately.
How can I arrange a viewing?
We can arrange in-person viewings on weekdays and most weekends. If you are not yet in Spain, we also offer accompanied video viewings via WhatsApp or video call, during which our agent walks through the show unit and the communal areas in real time. Contact us to book either option.
Is this apartment suitable as a rental investment?
Hipódromo-Cerrado del Águila falls within the municipality of Mijas, which is a registered tourist area. Holiday rental licences (VFT) are obtainable in Mijas subject to the property meeting local requirements and registration with the Junta de Andalucía. The proximity to the coast, Fuengirola and Málaga Airport supports demand from both short-term holiday renters and longer-term seasonal tenants. We recommend speaking to a local property management company for current occupancy and rate data before making investment decisions.
What does the purchase process look like for an overseas buyer?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once you have agreed terms, you pay a reservation fee to take the property off the market, typically followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa) with a staged deposit, commonly 10% of the price. The balance is paid at the notary on completion, at which point ownership transfers and the title deed (escritura) is signed. Your solicitor then registers the deed with the land registry. For a new-build purchase, completion timelines are tied to the construction programme, so confirm the expected handover date with the developer.
