Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the sale 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%. ITP does not apply. In addition, budget for notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and legal fees (typically 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 — so it is worth checking before you budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers typically require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price, as Spanish lenders generally cap lending at 60–70% of the valuation for overseas purchasers. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain range broadly between 3.5% and 4.5%, though individual offers will depend on your financial profile and chosen lender. A Spanish mortgage broker can help you compare products before you commit.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees for this development are currently nil. The annual IBI (council tax) figure has not yet been set for this property and should be confirmed with the agent. Utility contracts for water, electricity, and gas are arranged separately by the owner once the property is registered.
Can I view the apartment remotely?
Yes. OceanHome can arrange a live video viewing at a time that suits you, allowing you to walk through the apartment and ask questions in real time. An in-person visit to the La Carihuela development can also be arranged; contact the agent to confirm availability.
What is the rental potential in La Carihuela?
La Carihuela is one of the most active short-let markets on the Costa del Sol, with strong tourist demand throughout an extended summer season and reasonable occupancy in shoulder months. New-build apartments with two bedrooms and parking have historically been in consistent demand from holiday renters. A local property manager can provide indicative occupancy and nightly rate data for comparable units in the neighbourhood. Note that Andalucía requires a tourist licence for short-term letting; the agent can advise on the application process.
What does the purchase process look like?
First, obtain a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which is required before any property transaction can complete. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which stage a further deposit — typically 10% of the purchase price — is paid. The transaction is completed before a notary, at which point the remaining balance and all taxes are settled and the title deed (escritura) is signed. We recommend instructing an independent Spanish property solicitor to oversee the process.
