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%, set by the Andalucían autonomous region. ITP does not apply. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (EUR 400–800), and legal fees at around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT. These are rates only; your solicitor will calculate the totals once the price is confirmed. 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 — so it is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer in Spain?
Non-resident buyers can generally obtain a Spanish mortgage, though lenders typically require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Interest rates on Spanish mortgages currently range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5% depending on the lender, the loan term, and whether you opt for a fixed or variable rate. A mortgage broker familiar with the Spanish market can help you compare options before you commit.
What are the ongoing running costs for this property?
Community fees are to be confirmed with the developer, as this is a new-build property. The IBI (annual council tax) has not yet been assessed for this unit; your solicitor can request an estimate from Mijas town hall once the catastral reference is registered. You should also allow for home insurance, utility connection charges, and any optional service contracts for appliances.
How do I arrange a viewing?
You can request an in-person viewing through the OceanHome team, who can co-ordinate access with the developer's sales office. If you are not currently in Spain, a live video viewing is available — our agents will walk through the show unit and the communal areas with you in real time. Contact us to book a time that suits your schedule.
Is this property suitable for holiday rental?
El Higuerón is within the Mijas Costa tourist zone, and the area has an established short-term rental market. New-build penthouses with sea views and communal facilities tend to attract rental demand during summer and over Spanish public holidays. You will need to obtain a Junta de Andalucía tourist rental licence before letting the property. Speak to a local letting agent for current occupancy data specific to this area.
What is the typical purchase process in Spain?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (foreigner identification number), which your solicitor can apply for on your behalf. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point a further payment — typically 10% of the purchase price — is made. The remaining balance is paid at the notary on the completion date, when ownership is formally transferred and the title deed (escritura) is signed. Your solicitor should carry out full due diligence on the developer and the build licence before any funds are committed.
