Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs apply to this apartment?
As a new build in Spain, this purchase carries IVA (VAT) at 10% of the purchase price plus AJD stamp duty at 1.5%. ITP does not apply to new builds. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (EUR 400–800), and legal fees of approximately 1% of the purchase price plus VAT.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers can typically obtain a Spanish mortgage, though lenders generally require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Current variable and fixed rates for non-residents range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%, depending on the lender and your financial profile. We can connect you with independent mortgage brokers familiar with the Costa del Sol market.
What are the ongoing running costs for this property?
Community fees are currently nil for this complex. The annual IBI (council tax) figure has not yet been confirmed for this new-build; please ask the agent for the latest information. Utility contracts for electricity, water, and internet are arranged by the buyer on completion.
How can I arrange a viewing?
Viewings can be arranged in person or via a live video call if you are not currently in Spain. Contact our team to schedule a time that suits you. We recommend booking as early as possible, as new-build developments with a limited number of units can sell quickly.
Is this apartment suitable as a holiday rental investment?
El Coto and the wider Las Lagunas area attract year-round demand given the proximity to Fuengirola and the coast. Short-term holiday rentals in Andalucía require a Junta de Andalucía tourist licence (Vivienda con Fines Turísticos). We recommend speaking to a local property lawyer before purchasing with rental income in mind, as community rules and licence availability vary by building.
What steps are involved in buying this property?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once you have agreed a price, a reservation deposit is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which stage typically 10% of the purchase price is paid. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, at which point the remaining balance, taxes, and fees are settled and title transfers to you.
