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%. ITP does not apply. ITP is set by the autonomous region and applies to resale purchases only. On top of taxes, allow approximately EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for Land Registry registration, and around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT for legal fees. 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 in Spain?
Non-resident buyers can typically borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is generally required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish lenders range broadly between 3.5% and 4.5%, though rates vary by lender, term, and applicant profile. We can refer you to independent mortgage brokers with experience in non-resident applications.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees for this development have not yet been confirmed and are shown as zero in the current listing data — the developer will provide a confirmed figure ahead of completion. Annual IBI (council tax) and basura (refuse collection) charges are not yet set, as the property has not received its first rateable assessment. We will update these figures as they become available.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who cannot visit in person immediately. A member of our team can walk you through the show apartment or the development site via a live video call at a time that suits you. In-person viewings at El Higuerón can be arranged with advance notice.
Is this apartment suitable for holiday rental?
El Higuerón sits within Mijas, a municipality on the Costa del Sol with strong tourist demand year-round. Short-term rental activity is regulated in Andalucía, and properties used for tourist lets must be registered with the regional authority before advertising. We recommend confirming the specific licence requirements for this development with your legal adviser before factoring rental income into your purchase decision.
What are the main steps in buying a new-build property in Spain?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which your solicitor can apply for on your behalf. Once you have selected the apartment, a reservation agreement is typically signed and a holding deposit paid to secure the unit. This is followed by a private purchase contract (contrato de arras or compraventa), at which stage a further stage payment is usually required. The balance is paid at notary on the day of completion, when title transfers to you. Using an independent Spanish solicitor throughout the process is strongly recommended.
