Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for 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% of the purchase price. ITP does not apply. Additional costs typically include notary fees (EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (EUR 400–800), and legal fees at approximately 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 it is worth checking before you budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer in Spain?
Non-resident buyers can typically borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though your individual rate will depend on the lender and your financial profile. We can connect you with mortgage brokers who specialise in lending to international buyers.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently stated as zero; buyers should confirm this directly with the developer before exchange. Annual IBI (council tax) figures are not yet available for this new-build property and will be confirmed once the catastro reference is issued. There is no basura (rubbish collection) figure available at this stage. We recommend budgeting for utility connections and any ongoing charges once the community of owners is formally constituted.
Can I view the apartment remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who cannot travel immediately, which can cover the apartment layout, communal areas, parking, and the surrounding El Pinillo neighbourhood. In-person viewings can be arranged around your schedule, and we can also facilitate accompanied visits with our local team in Torremolinos.
What is the rental potential of this apartment?
El Pinillo's position within 300 metres of the beach and approximately 20 minutes from Málaga airport makes it a practical base for tourists and short-term visitors. To rent the property on a short-term holiday basis, you will need a Vivienda con Fines Turísticos (VFT) licence issued by the regional government of Andalucía. We can advise on the licensing process and connect you with local management companies, but we do not quote yield percentages as these vary with occupancy, management costs, and seasonal demand.
What is the buying process in Spain for a property like this?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is required for all property transactions. Once you have agreed a price, a reservation contract and payment secures the property off the market. This is typically followed by a private purchase contract (contrato de arras or contrato privado de compraventa), at which point a further deposit is paid. The transaction completes before a Spanish notary, who verifies the deed and registers the transfer at the land registry. Legal representation throughout is strongly recommended.
