Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for on top of the EUR 450,000 asking price?
As a new-build property in Andalusia, you pay IVA at 10% (EUR 45,000) rather than transfer tax. On top of that, allow EUR 600 to EUR 1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400 to EUR 800 for land registry registration, and approximately 1% of the purchase price plus VAT for independent legal advice. Total additional costs typically fall in the range of EUR 50,000 to EUR 52,000.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers can generally access Spanish mortgages, though lenders typically require a deposit of 30 to 40% of the purchase price. On a EUR 450,000 property, that means EUR 135,000 to EUR 180,000 upfront. Current variable and fixed rates from Spanish banks are broadly in the 3.5% to 4.5% range. We recommend speaking to an independent mortgage broker familiar with the Spanish market.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently EUR 0 per month. The annual IBI (council tax) figure has not yet been confirmed for this new-build and should be verified with the agent before exchange. Utility connections (water, electricity) will be payable by the owner once the property is occupied.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who are unable to travel immediately. If you would prefer an in-person visit, Málaga AGP airport is approximately 20 minutes away, making Torremolinos straightforward to reach. Contact us to arrange either option at a time that suits you.
Is this property suitable for holiday rental?
Torremolinos is a recognised tourist destination with consistent year-round demand, particularly from northern European visitors. New-build apartments in El Saltillo can be registered for short-term holiday letting, subject to obtaining a tourist licence from the Junta de Andalucía. We recommend taking legal advice on licensing requirements before purchase if rental income is part of your plan.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (foreigner identification number), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once you have agreed the price, a reservation contract is signed and a deposit of around EUR 6,000 to EUR 10,000 is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by the arras contract, where typically 10% of the purchase price is paid and both parties are legally committed. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, at which point the remaining balance is transferred and the title deeds are signed over to you.
