Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the asking price?
As a new build in Andalusia, VAT (IVA) applies at 10%, which amounts to EUR 30,600 on this property. You will also pay stamp duty (AJD) at around 1.2%, notary fees of approximately EUR 600 to EUR 1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400 to EUR 800, and legal fees typically 1% of the purchase price plus VAT. Total additional costs usually run to 13 to 15% of the purchase price.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Spanish banks generally lend up to 60 to 70% of the purchase price to non-resident buyers, meaning a deposit of 30 to 40% is typically required. On EUR 306,000, that is a deposit of roughly EUR 91,800 to EUR 122,400. Variable and fixed mortgage rates currently range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5% depending on the lender and your financial profile.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently listed as EUR 0 per month, though this may change once the development is fully established. IBI (annual council tax) has not yet been set for this new-build development. Utility costs such as electricity and water will depend on personal usage. Budget for annual home insurance as well, which typically costs EUR 200 to EUR 400 for an apartment of this size.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings by video call for buyers who are unable to travel to El Morche in person. You can request a live walkthrough or a recorded video tour of the development. Contact our team to schedule a time that suits you, and we can also arrange an in-person viewing when you are in the area.
Is this apartment suitable as a holiday rental?
El Morche is a coastal area with strong summer demand, and properties 200 metres from the beach can attract short-term holiday rental interest. To let legally in Andalusia, you will need a Vivienda con Fines Turísticos (VFT) licence from the Junta de Andalucía. We recommend speaking to a local property manager about occupancy expectations before committing to a rental strategy.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. A reservation agreement is typically signed with a deposit of EUR 3,000 to EUR 6,000 to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), where 10% of the purchase price is usually paid. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the remaining balance is transferred and keys are handed over.
