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%. ITP does not apply. Both AJD and ITP rates are set by the autonomous region of Andalucía, not by the province or municipality. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and legal fees of 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 eligibility before you finalise your budget.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage for this property?
Non-resident buyers typically need to provide a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price, as Spanish lenders generally offer a lower loan-to-value ratio than for residents. Variable and fixed mortgage rates have recently ranged from approximately 3.5% to 4.5% per annum, though terms vary by lender and individual circumstance. We recommend speaking to an independent mortgage broker with experience in Spanish property finance.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees for this development are currently recorded at zero. The annual IBI (local property tax) figure is not yet available, as this is a new-build property and the cadastral value has not yet been assigned. A basura (waste collection) charge will also apply once set by the municipality. We will provide confirmed figures as they become available.
Can I view the property remotely before visiting in person?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who are unable to travel to Spain immediately. A member of our team can walk you through the apartment and communal areas live via video call, or we can send you a pre-recorded walkthrough. In-person viewings can be arranged at short notice by contacting our Torremolinos office.
Is this property suitable for holiday rental?
Torremolinos is an established tourist destination on the Costa del Sol, and El Pinillo is within the municipal boundary where short-term rental licences have been granted. Demand for rental accommodation is strong across the summer season and, to a lesser extent, the shoulder months. Licence availability is subject to current Junta de Andalucía and local regulations, so we recommend confirming the position with a local solicitor before purchasing with a rental strategy in mind.
What is the purchase process for this property?
The first step is to obtain an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), the tax identification number required for any property purchase in Spain. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit paid to remove the property from the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (contrato de arras or contrato privado de compraventa), at which point a further deposit of around 10% of the purchase price is paid. The transaction is completed before a notary, who oversees the signing of the public deed of sale. We strongly recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to act on your behalf throughout.
