Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs apply to this apartment?
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. In addition, allow roughly EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for Land Registry registration, and around 1% plus VAT for a solicitor. 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 are worth checking before you budget.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Non-resident buyers can typically borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price from a Spanish lender, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish banks are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though your personal rate will depend on your financial profile and the lender. An independent mortgage broker with experience in Spanish property can help you compare products.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Annual IBI (council tax) and basura (refuse collection) figures are not yet available for this new-build and will be confirmed once the property is registered with the local catastro. Community fees for the development are listed as zero at this stage; buyers should confirm the final community fee schedule with the developer prior to signing. The energy rating is G.
Can I view the apartment remotely?
Yes. OceanHome can arrange a live video viewing via WhatsApp or Zoom at a time that suits you, so you can see the development, the show home or the specific unit without travelling to Spain first. In-person viewings can also be arranged with advance notice.
What is the rental potential of this property?
El Higuerón and the broader Mijas Costa area attract both short-term holiday visitors and long-term renters, owing to the proximity to Málaga Airport and the coast. A tourist rental licence (Vivienda con Fines Turísticos) is required for short-term lets in Andalucía, and rules on these licences in Costa del Sol municipalities are subject to local authority decisions. We recommend taking legal advice on current availability of licences in this development before purchasing with a rental objective.
What does the purchase process look like?
First, you will need a Spanish fiscal identification number (NIE), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once you agree terms, you pay a reservation fee to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato privado), typically involving a further deposit of around 10% of the agreed price. The balance is paid at the notary on completion, when title transfers formally. For a new build, completion timescales depend on the developer's construction programme, so confirm the expected handover date in writing.
