Frequently Asked Questions

What are the total purchase costs on top of the EUR 438,000 asking price?
As a new-build property, you pay IVA (VAT) at 10% instead of transfer tax, which amounts to approximately EUR 43,800. Additional costs include notary fees (EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (EUR 400–800), and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (approximately EUR 5,256 including VAT at 21%). Total additional costs are typically EUR 50,000–52,000, bringing your all-in budget to roughly EUR 488,000–490,000.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish banks typically lend non-residents up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation, whichever is lower, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. On EUR 438,000 that equates to approximately EUR 131,400–175,200. Current variable and fixed rates from Spanish lenders are broadly in the range of 3.5–4.5%. We can introduce you to a specialist mortgage broker if needed.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently listed at EUR 0; buyers should confirm the projected annual charge with the developer once the owners' community is constituted, as this figure is likely to change. The IBI (council tax) has not yet been assigned to this property and should be requested from the vendor prior to signing. Utility contracts for water and electricity will be set up separately on completion.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who are not able to visit in person straight away. Contact our Torremolinos team to schedule a live walkthrough or to request additional photography and developer floor plans.
Is La Carihuela a good area for short-term rental income?
La Carihuela is a tourist zone within Torremolinos, and properties here can be eligible for a tourist rental licence (Junta de Andalucía registration). Demand from holiday visitors is consistent given the area's beach access and restaurant offer. We do not quote yield percentages as these depend on management costs, occupancy, and licence approval, but we can connect you with a local rental management company for a realistic assessment.
What are the main steps in the purchase process?
First, you will need an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is your Spanish tax identification number and a legal requirement for any property purchase. Once you have agreed to proceed, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit (typically EUR 3,000–6,000) is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (contrato de arras), at which point around 10% of the price is usually paid. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the balance, taxes, and fees are settled and the title deed (escritura) is signed.
