Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs apply to this villa?
As a new-build property, IVA of 10% applies instead of the resale transfer tax (ITP). On the EUR 2,050,000 asking price, that equates to EUR 205,000 in IVA. On top of that, budget for notary fees of EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400–800, and legal fees of approximately 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (around EUR 24,600 including VAT at 21%). Total acquisition costs typically run to 12–13% above the asking price.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Non-resident buyers can generally borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price or bank valuation, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is required. On EUR 2,050,000 that implies a minimum deposit of around EUR 615,000. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish lenders typically sit between 3.5% and 4.5% depending on the term and applicant profile. A mortgage broker familiar with the Spanish market can help you compare products.
What are the ongoing running costs for this property?
No community fees are registered against this property. The annual IBI (council tax) figure is not yet available from the cadastre and should be confirmed with the developer or local town hall before completion. The basura (waste collection) charge is also to be confirmed. As a new build, the first IBI bill may not arrive until the year following completion and registration.
Can I view the property remotely before visiting in person?
Yes. OceanHome can arrange a video viewing via WhatsApp or video call, during which an agent will walk through the show unit or construction site and answer questions in real time. An in-person visit to El Higuerón can be organised to coincide with a site tour and meetings with the developer's sales team.
What is the rental potential in El Higuerón, Mijas?
El Higuerón and the broader Fuengirola-Mijas coastline attract holiday renters throughout most of the year given the proximity to Málaga Airport and the beach. Villas of this size with 5 bedrooms command stronger weekly rental rates than smaller properties. However, short-term tourist rentals in Andalusia require a Vivienda con Fines Turísticos (VFT) licence from the Junta de Andalucía; the developer can advise whether the licence application is included in the purchase or must be obtained independently.
What is the buying process in Spain for this property?
First, obtain an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) from the Spanish consulate in your country or at a Spanish police station. Once your offer is accepted, a reservation contract and deposit (typically EUR 6,000–10,000) secures the property. This is followed by the private purchase contract (contrato de arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point around 10% of the price is paid. The balance is settled at the notary on the completion date, when the escritura (title deed) is signed and keys are handed over. The deed is then registered at the Land Registry.
