Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs apply to this villa?
As a new build in Andalucía, this purchase carries IVA (VAT) at 10% of the purchase price plus AJD stamp duty at 1.2%. ITP does not apply. These rates are set by the Autonomous Community of Andalucía. On top of taxes, allow approximately EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for Land Registry registration, and around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT for legal fees. 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 — so it is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers in Spain can typically borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is generally required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%, though individual terms depend on your lender, income and credit profile. A Spanish mortgage broker can help compare offers from multiple banks.
What are the ongoing running costs for this property?
Community fees for this property are currently listed at zero; the agent can confirm the applicable figure ahead of reservation. The annual IBI (local property tax) is not yet confirmed for this new-build unit and will be set once the property is registered with the Ojén town hall. Basura (waste collection) charges are also pending registration. These costs are best confirmed with the developer or your solicitor before exchange.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. The agent can arrange a live video viewing via video call at a time that suits you, allowing you to walk through the property and ask questions in real time. A selection of photographs, floor plans and a site plan are also available on request. In-person viewings can be arranged with advance notice.
Is this villa suitable for short-term rental?
Palo Alto's location within 5 km of the coast and 8 km of Marbella places it in an area with demand for short-term holiday rentals. New-build villas of this size in gated developments have historically attracted enquiries from the premium holiday rental market. You will need a Junta de Andalucía tourist rental licence before letting; your solicitor can advise on the application process and any restrictions specific to the Palo Alto development rules.
What does the purchase process look like in Spain?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE (foreigner identification number), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation contract is signed and a small deposit — typically EUR 6,000–10,000 — takes the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point a further deposit of around 10% is usually paid. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, at which point the balance and all taxes are settled and the title deed (escritura) is signed. The property is then registered at the Land Registry in your name.
