About La Cala De Mijas, Mijas
Mijas is one of the most popular destinations on Spain's Costa Blanca.
What purchase costs should I budget for beyond the asking price?
As a new build in Andalucía, this purchase carries IVA (VAT) at 10% of the purchase price plus AJD stamp duty at 1.2% of the purchase price. ITP does not apply. ITP is a resale tax and is not charged on new-build purchases. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and legal fees of approximately 1% of the purchase price plus VAT. Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet this region's conditions — for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — and this is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage on this property as a non-resident?
Spanish banks typically lend non-residents up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain are broadly in the range of 3.5–4.5%, though individual offers vary by lender and applicant profile. We recommend obtaining an agreement in principle before reserving.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently stated as zero; buyers should confirm the finalised service charge with the developer before contracts are signed, as this figure may change once the development is completed and the owners' community is formally constituted. IBI (annual council tax) has not yet been assessed for this new-build property. Basura (rubbish collection charge) is also not yet confirmed. We recommend budgeting for both once rateable values are set by the local authority.
Can I view the apartment remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who cannot travel to La Cala de Mijas immediately. A video call can be arranged to walk through the show apartment or available units and the communal areas. In-person viewings can be scheduled around the site's show home opening hours.
Is this apartment suitable as a rental investment?
La Cala de Mijas is an established tourist area on the Costa del Sol, and the municipality of Mijas does issue short-term rental licences. A one-bedroom apartment with private terrace, garage, and communal pool in this location is a property type that lets consistently through the summer season. We do not quote projected yields, as these depend on management costs, occupancy rates, and licence conditions that change over time. Your legal representative can confirm current licensing requirements and any local restrictions.
What are the main steps to purchasing this property?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE number (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which your solicitor can apply for on your behalf. Once you have agreed to proceed, a reservation fee is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (contrato de arras or developer's sales contract) at which stage a further deposit, typically 10% of the purchase price, is paid. The balance is settled at completion before a notary, at which point the title deed (escritura) is signed and the property is registered in your name. For new builds, completion normally coincides with the developer's handover date.
