Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs apply to this property?
As a new build in Andalucía, this purchase carries IVA (VAT) at 10% of the purchase price plus AJD stamp duty at 1.2%, set by the Andalucían autonomous region. ITP does not apply to new builds. 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. On top of tax, allow roughly EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for land registry fees, and approximately 1% of the purchase price plus VAT for legal fees.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Spanish lenders typically offer non-resident buyers a loan-to-value of 60–70%, meaning you would need a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain generally range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%, though your rate will depend on your financial profile and the lender. It is advisable to obtain a mortgage agreement in principle before making an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently recorded as zero; buyers should verify this directly with the developer before exchange, as fees may be set once the complex is operational. The annual IBI property tax figure is not yet available for this new-build and should be confirmed with the local authority. A basura (waste collection) charge will also apply annually once set by the municipality.
How can I arrange a viewing?
In-person viewings can be arranged through our Torremolinos office on mutually convenient dates. If you are based outside Spain, we also offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call, including a live walkthrough of the show unit and the development's communal areas. Contact us to book.
Is this property suitable as a rental investment?
Torremolinos is a designated tourist zone and properties here can be licensed for short-term holiday letting. El Pinillo's proximity to the beach and Málaga AGP airport supports year-round rental demand. You would need to obtain a Junta de Andalucía tourist rental licence before advertising the property on booking platforms. We recommend speaking to a local property manager for realistic occupancy and rate expectations specific to this development.
What does the purchase process involve?
The first practical step is obtaining a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which is required for any property transaction. Once you have agreed terms, you typically pay a reservation fee to take the property off the market, followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa) where a further deposit — commonly 10% of the purchase price — is paid. The balance is transferred at the notary on the day of completion, when the public deed (escritura) is signed and keys are handed over. Your solicitor will also handle post-completion registration of the title at the land registry.
