Frequently Asked Questions
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. 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 it is worth checking before you budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers in Spain typically need a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price, as Spanish banks generally lend up to 60–70% of the valuation to non-residents. Variable and fixed mortgage rates currently sit broadly in the range of 3.5–4.5%, though this varies by lender and applicant profile. We can refer you to independent mortgage brokers with experience in cross-border lending.
What are the ongoing running costs for this property?
Estimated community fees are EUR 220 per month, covering communal areas, the pool and gymnasium. The annual IBI (local property tax) is approximately EUR 590. Both figures are estimated. There is no confirmed basura (refuse collection) charge in the listing data; your legal representative can confirm the current amount with the local authority.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings by appointment, allowing you to tour the property live with one of our agents via video call. We can also provide a detailed walkthrough recording on request. In-person viewings in Las Flores can be arranged with reasonable notice.
Is this property suitable as a holiday rental investment?
Las Flores and the wider Mijas Costa area attract consistent visitor numbers given the proximity to Málaga Airport and the coastal beaches. Short-term tourist lets in Andalucía require a regional tourist licence (VFT), and rental yields vary by season, management approach and local supply. We recommend speaking to a local letting agent for realistic occupancy and income expectations before making any investment decision.
What does the purchase process involve for an overseas buyer?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once you have agreed a price, a reservation contract secures the property and takes it off the market, typically with a small deposit. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point a further deposit — commonly 10% — is paid. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the balance is transferred and title passes to you. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor before the reservation stage.
