Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs for this new-build 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%, set by the Andalucían regional government. 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 around 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 — worth checking before you budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers can typically access Spanish mortgages, though lenders generally require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Interest rates for non-resident mortgages currently range broadly between 3.5% and 4.5%, depending on the lender and loan structure. Your solicitor or an independent mortgage broker can advise on suitable options.
What are the running costs for this apartment?
Community fees for this development have not yet been confirmed; please ask the agent for the most current figure. IBI (annual property tax) has not yet been assessed for this new-build property. Basura (rubbish collection) charges are also to be confirmed. Your solicitor can clarify which of these will be payable from completion.
Can I view this property remotely?
Yes. The agent can arrange an in-person viewing at a time that suits you, or a live video viewing if you are unable to travel to the Costa del Sol. Video viewings allow you to walk through the apartment and development in real time and ask questions directly.
What is the rental potential for this apartment?
El Soto de Marbella benefits from its position between Ojén and the Marbella coast, which attracts both short-term holiday visitors and longer-term residents. Short-term rental activity is subject to a Junta de Andalucía tourist licence; the agent can explain the application process. Achievable rental income will depend on the season, specification and management approach.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once you have agreed the purchase, you pay a reservation fee to take the property off the market, followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa) at which point a further deposit — typically 10% of the purchase price — is paid. The balance is paid at notarial completion, when title transfers to you. For new builds, stage payments during construction are common and will be set out in the developer's contract.
