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 include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800) and solicitor 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 it is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers in Spain typically need a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price, as Spanish lenders generally offer up to 60–70% loan-to-value on properties purchased by non-residents. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though terms vary by lender and personal circumstances. We can refer you to a bilingual mortgage broker with experience on the Costa del Sol.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees for this property are currently set at zero. IBI (annual property tax) has not yet been assessed for this new-build unit and will be confirmed once the property is registered with the local authority. Basura (refuse collection) charges have also not yet been assessed. We recommend asking your solicitor to confirm these figures before exchange.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings by appointment for buyers who cannot travel immediately. A member of our team will walk through the property live on a video call and answer questions in real time. In-person viewings can be arranged on any day of the week with 48 hours' notice.
Is this apartment suitable for holiday rental?
Torremolinos holds tourist zone status under Andalucía's short-term rental regulations, and El Pinillo benefits from proximity to the beach and Málaga Airport. The 3-bedroom layout, private garden and communal facilities make the apartment well suited to holiday letting. You will need to register with the Junta de Andalucía and obtain a tourist licence before letting; your solicitor can advise on the current requirements. We do not quote estimated yield figures, but the agent can share local rental market data on request.
What are the main steps in the purchase process?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE number (tax identification for foreigners), which you can obtain at a Spanish consulate abroad or at a police station in Spain. Once you agree a price, you pay a reservation fee to take the property off the market, followed by a private purchase contract (arras) under which typically 10% of the price is paid and both parties are bound. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the remaining balance is transferred and keys are handed over. Your solicitor will carry out due diligence, check the new-build licence and building guarantees, and register the title at the land registry.
