About El Saltillo, Torremolinos
Torremolinos is one of the most popular destinations on Spain's Costa Blanca.
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 typically include notary fees (EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (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 the region's conditions — for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — and it is worth checking these before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers in Spain can typically borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates for non-residents range broadly between 3.5% and 4.5% AER, though your rate will depend on your financial profile and the lending institution. We can refer you to independent mortgage brokers who work with international buyers.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees for this development are currently set at nil. IBI (annual council tax) and basura (refuse collection charge) figures have not yet been confirmed for this new-build property; the agent can advise on expected amounts once the property is officially registered and rateable values are assigned.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling to Torremolinos?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who cannot travel immediately. Our agents can walk through the show unit or the completed apartment live, answer questions in real time, and share additional video footage of El Saltillo and the surrounding area. In-person viewings can be arranged at short notice.
What is the rental potential for this apartment in El Saltillo?
El Saltillo is within Torremolinos's coastal tourist zone, and the area has a well-established short-term rental market. Three-bedroom properties of this size in coastal Torremolinos are in demand from holiday visitors throughout the summer months and from longer-stay guests in spring and autumn. A local property manager or licensed tourist-rental agency can provide specific occupancy and rate estimates based on current market conditions. Obtaining a tourist licence requires registration with the Junta de Andalucía.
What does the buying process involve for a new-build in Spain?
You will first need an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), the tax identification number required for any Spanish property transaction. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation deposit is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa) under which a further stage payment is typically made. On new builds, payments are often staged during construction. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the remaining balance, taxes, and fees are settled and the title deed (escritura) is signed.
