Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the asking price?
As a new-build, this villa is subject to IVA at 10% rather than resale transfer tax (ITP). On EUR 1,890,000, that is EUR 189,000 in VAT. Add notary fees of approximately EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400–800, and legal fees of around 1% plus VAT (roughly EUR 22,869 including VAT at 21%). Total additional costs are typically around 11–12% of the purchase price, or approximately EUR 210,000–230,000.
Can non-resident buyers obtain a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish banks generally lend up to 60–70% of the purchase price for non-residents, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is required. On EUR 1,890,000, a 35% deposit would be EUR 661,500. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5% depending on the lender and term. Purchase costs must also be funded separately, as they are not normally included in the mortgage.
What are the ongoing running costs for this villa?
Community fees are currently listed as EUR 0 per year. Annual IBI (council tax) and refuse collection charges have not yet been confirmed for this new-build and should be verified with the Mijas town hall before contracts are signed. As a guide, IBI on a property of this value in Mijas typically falls between EUR 2,000 and EUR 4,000 per year, though the actual figure will depend on the rateable value assigned after completion.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. OceanHome can arrange a live video viewing via WhatsApp or video call, during which an agent will walk through the show home or available units and answer questions in real time. We can also provide developer floor plans, 3D renders, and specification sheets by email. In-person viewings at El Higuerón can be scheduled around Málaga Airport arrivals, given the approximately 20-minute transfer time.
What is the rental potential in El Higuerón, Mijas?
El Higuerón falls within the Mijas tourist zone, and the Costa del Sol sees strong demand for large villa rentals, particularly between May and October. Six-bedroom villas with pools in this area are in limited supply, which supports short-term rental occupancy. Buyers planning to let the property must register it as a tourist rental with the Junta de Andalucía and obtain a licence before marketing it. Speak to a local rental management company for up-to-date income projections based on comparable properties.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, obtain an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) from a Spanish consulate or in Spain. Next, pay a reservation fee (typically EUR 6,000–10,000) to take the property off the market. A private purchase contract (contrato de arras or developer's contract) follows, usually requiring 10–30% of the price. The remaining balance is paid at the notary on completion, when the title deed (escritura) is signed and registered. Legal representation by an independent Spanish solicitor is strongly advised throughout.
