Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs apply to this apartment?
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. Both AJD and ITP are set by the autonomous region of Andalucía, not by the province or town. On top of taxes, budget for notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically 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 — worth checking before you budget.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Spanish lenders typically offer non-residents mortgages covering up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation, whichever is lower. That means a deposit of 30–40% is generally required. Variable and fixed rates from Spanish banks currently range from around 3.5% to 4.5% per annum, though the rate you receive will depend on your financial profile and the lender. An independent mortgage broker with experience in cross-border lending can be useful at this stage.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently set at zero for this development, though buyers should confirm this with the developer as the complex is newly established. IBI (local property tax) and basura (refuse collection charge) figures are not yet available for this new-build unit; ask the agent to obtain these from the local council before exchange. You should also allow for annual home insurance and utility standing charges.
Can I view the property remotely?
Yes. OceanHome can arrange a live video viewing via WhatsApp or video call at a time that suits you. A recorded walkthrough of the development may also be available. In-person viewings can be scheduled with 48 hours' notice. Contact us to confirm availability and book a slot.
Is this apartment suitable for holiday rental?
El Pinillo's proximity to the seafront and Málaga Airport makes it a practical option for short-term holiday letting. Torremolinos holds a tourist licence zone, so rental licences (VUT) are available subject to meeting the current Andalucían regulatory requirements. We recommend consulting a local lawyer to confirm licence eligibility before purchase if rental income is part of your plan.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which your solicitor can apply for on your behalf. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit paid to secure the property. 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. The balance is transferred on the day of completion before a notary, who registers the title deed. For new builds, completion typically follows the developer's build programme. Instructing an independent Spanish solicitor before signing anything is strongly advised.
