Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs for this new-build villa?
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 regional government. ITP does not apply. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and legal fees of 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 it is worth checking this before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage on this property as a non-resident?
Non-resident buyers can typically borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates for non-residents generally range between 3.5% and 4.5%, though rates vary by lender and applicant profile. We can refer you to independent mortgage brokers with experience in Spanish property finance.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees for this property are nil. IBI (council tax) and basura (waste collection charge) figures have not yet been confirmed for this new build; the developer should be able to provide estimates before contracts are signed. Budget separately for utility connections, which are typically arranged once the property is handed over.
How do I arrange a viewing?
Contact us to book an in-person visit to El Higuerón. If you are based outside Spain, we can arrange a live video viewing so you can see the plot, exterior, and interior plans in real time with one of our agents on site. We can also supply additional developer materials, including CGI renders and specification sheets, on request.
What is the rental potential for this property?
El Higuerón's location between Málaga city and the Costa del Sol resort towns, combined with proximity to Málaga Airport (approximately 20 minutes), supports demand from both short-stay and longer-term tenants. Five bedrooms and a private pool make the property well suited to the family holiday rental market. A local lettings agent can provide realistic occupancy projections and current market rents before you commit.
What is the purchase process for buyers new to Spain?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which can be obtained through a Spanish consulate in your home country or via a lawyer in Spain. Once agreed, a reservation deposit secures the property off the market while due diligence is carried out. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point a further stage payment is typically made. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, at which point the remaining balance is paid and title transfers to you. Legal representation throughout is strongly recommended.
