Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes apply to this apartment?
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 to new-build purchases. On top of these, allow for 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. Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet the region's conditions — for example on grounds of age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — so it is worth confirming your position before you finalise your budget.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Spanish banks typically lend non-residents up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation (whichever is lower), meaning a deposit of 30–40% is generally required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates for non-residents sit broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though individual terms depend on your financial profile and the lender. We can introduce you to independent mortgage brokers familiar with cross-border purchases.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently listed at no charge, though buyers should verify this directly with the developer as the development is new. Annual IBI (council tax) has not yet been confirmed for this property; ask the agent for the latest figure once the catastral reference is registered. There is no basura (refuse collection charge) figure available at this stage. Factor in utility connections and any optional concierge or lifestyle management service, which is available at extra cost.
Is it possible to view the property remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings by appointment for buyers who cannot travel to the Costa del Sol in the first instance. Our agents can walk through the apartment and the communal areas live, share developer materials and answer questions in real time. In-person viewings at El Soto de Marbella can be arranged once you are ready to visit.
Does this property have rental potential?
El Soto de Marbella sits within the Marbella tourist area, which has an active short-term rental market. The combination of panoramic sea views, gated security, concierge services and proximity to Marbella's coastline makes this type of property attractive to holiday lettings. Andalucía requires a tourist licence (VTAR) before short-term lets can be advertised. Speak to a local lettings agent for realistic occupancy expectations for this specific development.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE) before completing any purchase. The process typically begins with a reservation agreement accompanied by a holding deposit, followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa) in which a further payment is made. The balance is paid at the notary on the day title transfers to you. For new builds, staged payments tied to construction milestones are common. We strongly recommend engaging an independent Spanish solicitor to review all developer documentation before you commit.
