Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the asking 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%. ITP does not apply. Both rates are set by the Autonomous Community of Andalucía. In addition, you should budget for 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 — and are worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Spanish banks typically lend non-residents up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates for non-residents generally range between 3.5% and 4.5% per annum, though terms vary by lender and your financial profile. We can refer you to independent mortgage brokers experienced in cross-border purchases.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees for this development are currently set at zero. IBI (annual council tax) and basura (refuse collection) figures are not yet available for this new-build and should be confirmed with the developer or local town hall before exchange. Your legal adviser can request these figures during due diligence.
How do I arrange a viewing?
In-person viewings can be arranged through our Torremolinos office at a time that suits you. If you are based outside Spain, we also offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call, allowing you to walk through the property and ask questions in real time before committing to travel.
What is the rental potential in this location?
Torremolinos is one of the Costa del Sol's most active tourist destinations, and the Centro area benefits from year-round footfall. Properties in this zone are eligible for holiday rental licences under Andalucía's tourist accommodation regulations, though obtaining a licence is subject to local planning rules and should be verified with a local lawyer. We do not quote yield projections, but our team can put you in contact with local property managers who can provide realistic occupancy and rate estimates based on comparable units.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, you will need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which can be obtained at a Spanish consulate in your home country or at a national police station in Spain. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation contract is typically signed and a holding deposit paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point a further deposit — usually 10% of the purchase price — is paid. The transaction is completed before a notary, who registers the title deed at the land registry. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish lawyer to act on your behalf throughout.
