Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the asking price?
As a new-build property in Málaga province, you pay IVA at 10% (EUR 72,000) rather than transfer tax. Additional costs include notary fees of approximately EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400–800, and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (approximately EUR 7,260 including VAT). In total, budget for roughly EUR 80,000–82,000 in purchase costs on top of the EUR 720,000 asking price.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident?
Non-resident buyers can typically obtain a Spanish mortgage for up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is required. On EUR 720,000, that equates to a minimum deposit of approximately EUR 216,000–288,000. Current variable and fixed rates from Spanish lenders are broadly in the range of 3.5–4.5%. A mortgage broker familiar with non-resident applications is advisable.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently EUR 0 per month. Annual IBI (council tax) and basura (waste collection) figures are not yet available for this new-build property and will be confirmed by the town hall once the property is registered. Your solicitor can request estimated figures from the developer prior to completion.
How can I arrange a viewing?
Viewings can be arranged in person at the development in Riviera del Sol. If you are based outside Spain, OceanHome can carry out a live video viewing via WhatsApp or video call at a time that suits you, so you can see the property and the communal areas before travelling.
What is the rental potential for this property?
Riviera del Sol is a coastal urbanisation on the Costa del Sol with consistent demand for short-term holiday lets and longer-term rentals from workers based in Fuengirola and Marbella. A tourist licence (Junta de Andalucía VFT licence) is required for short-term holiday letting; your solicitor can advise on eligibility for this new-build property. OceanHome can connect you with local rental management agents for projected occupancy information.
What steps are involved in buying this property?
First, obtain an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) from a Spanish consulate or in Spain; this is required for any property purchase. Once your offer is accepted, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit (typically EUR 3,000–6,000) is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point 10% of the purchase price is usually paid. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the remaining balance, IVA, and all fees are settled and the title deed (escritura) is signed.
