Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for beyond 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. Additional costs typically include notary fees (EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (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 — worth checking before you budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers in Spain can generally borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is typically required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates for non-residents are broadly in the range of 3.5–4.5%, though individual offers vary by lender and applicant profile. We recommend speaking with a Spanish mortgage broker early in the process.
What are the ongoing running costs for this property?
Community fees for this new-build complex have not yet been confirmed; please ask the agent for the projected figure. IBI (annual council tax) and basura (refuse collection) charges have not yet been assigned to this unit and should be confirmed once the property is registered with the local authority.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. In addition to in-person appointments, we offer video viewings so you can assess the apartment, its garden, and the communal facilities without travelling to Spain first. Contact us to schedule either option at a time that suits you.
Is this apartment suitable as a rental investment?
El Higuerón's position between Fuengirola and Benalmádena, combined with a 20-minute drive to Málaga Airport, makes it an area with consistent demand from both short-term holiday visitors and longer-term tenants. A tourist rental licence (Vivienda con Fines Turísticos) is required for short-term letting in Andalucía; the agent can advise on the current licensing process for new-build units in this complex.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is your Spanish tax identification number and is required before completion. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation deposit is paid to secure the unit, followed by a private purchase contract (contrato de arras) under which a further deposit — typically 10% of the purchase price — is paid. The balance is settled at the notary on completion, at which point ownership transfers. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to act for you throughout.
