Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the EUR 2,110,000 asking price?
As a new build, this villa is subject to IVA at 10% rather than transfer tax, which amounts to EUR 211,000. You should also budget for notary fees of approximately EUR 600 to EUR 1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400 to EUR 800, and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (approximately EUR 21,000 plus VAT). Total additional costs are typically in the range of EUR 235,000 to EUR 240,000.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish lenders will typically offer non-residents a loan-to-value ratio of 60 to 70%, meaning a deposit of 30 to 40% of the EUR 2,110,000 purchase price is required, so between EUR 633,000 and EUR 844,000. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5% depending on the lender and your financial profile. We can introduce you to a mortgage broker with experience in non-resident applications.
What are the ongoing running costs for this villa?
Community fees for this property are listed as EUR 0 per year. Annual IBI (council tax) has not yet been confirmed by the local authority and will be assigned once the property is registered in the Catastro; buyers should request an estimate from the developer. Waste collection (basura) charges have also not been confirmed. Utility costs for a 384 m2 villa will vary depending on usage and season.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings by appointment, where one of our agents can walk you through the villa and plot in real time and answer questions on site. This is available for buyers who cannot travel immediately. We can also arrange an in-person visit to El Higuerón at a time that suits you.
Is this villa suitable for holiday rental income?
El Higuerón and the wider Mijas Costa area attract consistent demand from tourists, particularly those seeking access to local golf courses and the beaches of Fuengirola. To let the property on a short-term basis, you will need a holiday rental licence from the Junta de Andalucía. We recommend speaking to a local property manager about realistic occupancy rates before making assumptions about rental income.
How does the purchase process work in Spain?
First, you will need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which your lawyer can obtain on your behalf. Once you agree a price, a reservation contract is signed and a deposit of around EUR 6,000 to EUR 10,000 is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), typically with a 10% deposit paid. The remaining balance is settled at the notary, where title is formally transferred and keys are handed over. We strongly recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor throughout.
