Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the EUR 1,850,000 asking price?
As a new-build property in Andalusia, the purchase is subject to IVA at 10%, which amounts to EUR 185,000 on this price. Additional costs include notary fees of approximately EUR 600 to EUR 1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400 to EUR 800, and legal/conveyancing fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (approximately EUR 18,500 plus VAT). Total purchase costs typically add 12 to 14% on top of the agreed price.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish banks generally lend up to 60 to 70% of the purchase price to non-resident buyers, meaning a deposit of between 30 and 40% is typically required. On EUR 1,850,000 that equates to a deposit of EUR 555,000 to EUR 740,000. Variable and fixed mortgage rates currently sit in the range of 3.5 to 4.5%. We can connect you with independent mortgage brokers who specialise in non-resident finance.
What are the ongoing running costs for this villa?
No community fees are currently registered for this property. Annual IBI (council tax) figures are not yet available for this new build and should be confirmed with Mijas town hall once the property is registered. Utility costs for a villa of 399 m2 will vary depending on usage and occupancy. We recommend requesting a full cost breakdown from the developer before exchanging contracts.
Can I view the property remotely before visiting in person?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who cannot travel immediately. For a new-build at this stage, we can also share developer walkthroughs, show home footage, and architectural plans. In-person viewings in El Higuerón can be arranged with 48 hours' notice.
What is the rental potential for a villa in El Higuerón, Mijas?
El Higuerón is within the Costa del Sol tourist zone, and villas of this size are in demand for longer-term rentals and high-season holiday lets. A tourist licence (Vivienda con Fines Turísticos) is required for short-term letting in Andalusia and must be registered with the Junta de Andalucía. We recommend consulting a local property lawyer to confirm current licensing rules and projected occupancy before making assumptions about rental income.
What steps are involved in buying this property?
First, you will need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which can be obtained at a Spanish consulate or in person in Spain. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit (typically 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 or contrato de compraventa), at which point 10% of the purchase price is normally paid. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the balance, taxes, and fees are settled and the title deed (escritura) is signed.
