Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for beyond 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. On top of taxes, allow for notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and legal representation at 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 it is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage on this property as a non-resident?
Non-resident buyers can typically access Spanish mortgages covering 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Variable and fixed mortgage rates currently range between approximately 3.5% and 4.5%, though terms vary by lender. We can connect you with independent mortgage brokers experienced in non-resident applications.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently recorded at nil for this property — confirm the final figure with the developer before exchange. The annual IBI (council tax) figure has not yet been assessed for this new-build and will be confirmed once the property is registered. Buyers should also allow for an annual waste collection charge (basura), the amount of which is set by the local council.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who are unable to visit in person, allowing you to walk through the property and ask questions in real time. In-person viewings can be arranged at a time that suits you. Contact our team to book either option.
Is this apartment suitable as a rental investment?
El Pinillo's proximity to the coast and Málaga Airport makes properties here attractive to the short-term holiday rental market. Torremolinos holds a tourist licence zone, so buyers intending to let the property on a short-term basis must apply for a tourist rental licence from the Junta de Andalucía. Demand is strongest from late spring through early autumn. We recommend speaking with a local lettings agent for realistic occupancy and income projections specific to this complex.
What does the purchase process look like from reservation to completion?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which can be obtained via a Spanish consulate or through a local gestoría. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato privado), at which point a further deposit — typically 10% of the purchase price — is paid. The transaction completes before a notary, at which point the remaining balance, taxes, and fees are settled and keys are handed over. Instructing an independent Spanish solicitor before you sign anything is strongly recommended.
