Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs apply to this property?
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. Notary fees typically run EUR 600–1,200 and land registry fees EUR 400–800. Legal fees are generally 1% of the purchase price plus VAT. Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet the region's conditions — for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — and it is worth checking this before you finalise your budget.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Spanish lenders typically offer non-residents mortgages covering 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Current variable and fixed rates with Spanish banks are broadly in the range of 3.5–4.5%, though individual offers vary. We recommend speaking to an independent mortgage broker familiar with cross-border lending before you proceed.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently recorded as zero; buyers should verify this with the developer as the development completes and the owners' community is formally constituted. IBI (annual council tax) has not yet been assessed for this new-build property and will be set by the local authority once the property is registered. No basura (waste collection) figure is available at this stage.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who are unable to travel at short notice. We can walk through the show unit or CGI walkthrough with you in real time and answer questions on the spot. In-person viewings can be arranged with advance notice through our Marbella office.
Is this property suitable as a rental investment?
El Soto de Marbella is within the Marbella tourist zone, and properties in this area are regularly let on short-term holiday licences. The proximity to golf courses and Málaga airport supports year-round demand. Any rental income and licensing requirements are governed by Andalucía's tourist apartment regulations; we recommend taking local legal advice on obtaining a tourist licence before committing to a rental strategy.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which your lawyer can apply for on your behalf. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation fee is paid to take the property off the market. This is 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. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, at which point the balance, taxes and fees are settled and the title deed (escritura) is signed. We recommend appointing an independent solicitor to act solely in your interests throughout.
