Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for 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%, set by the Andalucían autonomous region. ITP does not apply. 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 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 on this property as a non-resident?
Non-resident buyers in Spain can typically borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is generally required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates with Spanish lenders are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though individual offers vary by lender, nationality, and financial profile. We recommend consulting an independent mortgage broker before making an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees for this property are currently nil. Annual IBI (council tax) and basura (refuse collection) charges have not yet been assessed for this new-build unit; the agent can advise on projected figures once available. Buildings insurance and utility connections will be additional costs to factor in.
Can I view this property remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings by appointment, including live video calls where you can ask questions in real time. A selection of photography and any available floor plans are also provided on request. Contact the agent to arrange a remote or in-person viewing at a time that suits you.
What is the rental potential in El Higuerón?
El Higuerón is an established tourist area on the Costa del Sol with demand from both short-stay and longer-term renters. Top-floor penthouses with private terraces and communal pool access tend to attract good occupancy in the summer months. Any rental activity requires a valid tourist licence from the Andalucían regional authority, and licence availability and conditions should be verified with a local solicitor before purchase.
What does the purchase process look like in Spain?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once you agree a price, a reservation fee is typically paid to take the property off the market, followed by a private purchase contract (arras) where a further deposit — commonly 10% of the purchase price — is paid. For new builds, stage payments may apply during construction. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the remaining balance is paid and title transfers to you. Using an independent Spanish solicitor throughout is strongly recommended.
