Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the EUR 492,000 asking price?
As a new-build property in Andalusia, IVA applies at 10% instead of transfer tax, which adds EUR 49,200. Notary fees are typically EUR 600 to 1,200, land registry EUR 400 to 800, and independent legal fees around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (roughly EUR 4,920 plus VAT). Total additional costs are typically 12 to 13% of the purchase price.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish lenders generally offer non-residents up to 60 to 70% loan-to-value on a property priced at EUR 492,000, meaning a deposit of roughly EUR 147,600 to EUR 196,800 would be required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish banks range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5% per annum, though individual terms vary by lender and applicant profile.
What are the ongoing running costs for this penthouse?
Community fees are currently listed at EUR 0, though this may change once the development is formally handed over and the owners' community is constituted. IBI (annual council tax) figures have not yet been set for this new-build. Utility costs for a 94 m2 penthouse will depend on usage. We recommend budgeting for these costs once the development is complete.
Can I arrange a viewing of this penthouse?
Yes. In-person viewings can be arranged by contacting OceanHome directly. If you are based outside Spain, we can also organise a live video viewing so you can see the property and ask questions in real time before committing to travel.
Is this property suitable for holiday rental?
Torremolinos is an active short-term rental market on the Costa del Sol, and this development's proximity to the beach and Málaga Airport makes it well placed for tourist lets. You would need to obtain a Junta de Andalucía holiday rental licence after completion. We recommend consulting a local solicitor regarding current licensing requirements before purchase.
What does the purchase process involve for a buyer new to Spain?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which can be obtained at a local police station or through a solicitor with a power of attorney. Once you have agreed a price, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit paid, typically EUR 3,000 to 6,000. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), where usually 10% of the purchase price is paid. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, at which point the remaining balance and all taxes and fees are settled and title transfers to the buyer.
