Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs 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%. ITP does not apply. ITP and AJD rates are set by the autonomous region of Andalucía, not by Málaga province or the local town. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and legal fees at around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT. Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet the region's conditions — for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — and this is worth confirming before you finalise your budget.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Spanish lenders typically offer non-residents up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation, whichever is lower. That means a deposit of between 30% and 40% of the purchase price is usually required, in addition to purchase costs. Variable and fixed rates currently range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5% AER, depending on the lender and applicant profile. We can refer you to independent mortgage brokers with experience in cross-border Spanish transactions.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently recorded as zero for this development; buyers should verify the confirmed figure with the developer before exchange, as service charges typically apply once a complex is operational. Annual IBI (council tax) and basura (refuse collection) figures are not yet available for this new-build property and should be requested from the developer or local town hall. The energy rating is G.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who cannot travel immediately. For new-build developments we can also share show-home walkthroughs and site plans. In-person viewings can be arranged seven days a week by appointment, and we can coordinate visits to coincide with other properties you may be considering in the area.
Is this apartment suitable as a rental investment?
El Higuerón and the wider Mijas Costa area benefit from a long rental season, typically running from April through to October, with shorter breaks popular in winter months. The proximity to Málaga airport — around 20 minutes — is a practical advantage for short-let tenants. A tourist rental licence from the Junta de Andalucía will be required before the property can be advertised for holiday lets. We recommend speaking to a local property management firm for current occupancy data and realistic yield expectations before committing.
What are the main steps in the purchase process?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE (foreigner identification number), which can be obtained at a Spanish consulate or in Spain with a solicitor's assistance. Once you agree a price, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit — typically EUR 3,000 to EUR 6,000 — is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point around 10% of the purchase price is paid. For new builds, stage payments are often required during construction. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the balance and all taxes are settled. We strongly recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to carry out due diligence throughout the process.
