About Centro, Torremolinos
Torremolinos is one of the most popular destinations on Spain's Costa Blanca.
What are the purchase costs on top of the sale price?
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. Additional costs include notary fees of approximately EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of approximately 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 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 can typically obtain a mortgage in Spain, though lenders usually require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Variable and fixed interest rates currently range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%, depending on the lender and your financial profile. We recommend obtaining a mortgage offer in principle before committing to a purchase.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees for this property are currently €0 per month. Annual IBI (local property tax) figures have not yet been confirmed for this new-build development. Utility costs will depend on individual usage.
How can I arrange a viewing?
Contact us to schedule an in-person visit at a time that suits you. If you are based outside Spain or unable to travel, we can arrange a live video viewing so you can walk through the apartment and the communal areas remotely.
Is there rental potential for this property?
Centro, Torremolinos is a high-footfall tourist area with demand for short-term holiday rentals throughout the year, particularly given the 500-metre distance to the beach and good transport links via Málaga Airport. Buyers intending to let the property on a tourist basis will need to register for a tourist rental licence with the Junta de Andalucía. We recommend speaking to a local letting agent for current occupancy and rate information before making projections.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is required for any property transaction. The process typically begins with a reservation agreement and a reservation fee to take the property off the market, followed by a private purchase contract (arras) in which around 10% of the purchase price is paid. The balance is settled at completion before a notary, who registers the deed. We recommend engaging an independent Spanish solicitor to guide you through each stage.
