Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the asking price?
As a new-build property, IVA applies at 10% instead of ITP, which adds EUR 50,400 to the EUR 504,000 price. You should also budget for notary fees (EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (EUR 400–800), and legal fees of approximately 1% of the purchase price plus VAT. Total additional costs typically fall between 12% and 13%.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Yes. Spanish lenders generally offer non-resident buyers up to 60–70% loan-to-value, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is required. On EUR 504,000 that equates to roughly EUR 151,200–EUR 201,600. Variable and fixed rates currently range from around 3.5% to 4.5% depending on the lender and your financial profile.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently EUR 0 per month. The annual IBI (council tax) figure has not yet been confirmed for this property. Once occupied, you will also be liable for basura (rubbish collection), which is set by the local council. We recommend budgeting for these once final figures are available from the developer.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who cannot visit in person. You can tour the development, ask questions in real time, and review the floor plan with one of our agents. In-person viewings can also be arranged by appointment.
Is this property suitable for holiday rental?
La Carihuela is a tourist zone within Torremolinos, and properties here can perform well as short-term holiday lets during the summer months. You will need a Junta de Andalucía tourist licence (VFT) before listing the property. We can connect you with a local rental management company for further guidance on expected occupancy and applicable regulations.
What steps are involved in completing the purchase?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which your solicitor can apply for on your behalf. Once you have selected the property, a reservation contract is signed and a deposit of around EUR 3,000–6,000 is paid to take it off the market. This is followed by an arras (preliminary contract) with a larger deposit, typically 10%. For a new build, the balance is paid at completion when the title deed is signed before a notary. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor throughout.
