Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for on top of the asking 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. Both rates are set by the Autonomous Community of Andalucía. On top of taxes, allow roughly EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for land registry fees, and around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT for a solicitor. 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 — worth checking before you budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers typically need a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price, as Spanish lenders usually finance up to 60–70% for non-residents. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain broadly range from 3.5% to 4.5%, though individual offers vary by lender and applicant profile. A Spanish mortgage broker can compare products across several banks.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees for this development are currently set at nil. IBI (annual property tax) has not yet been confirmed and should be verified with the agent before exchange. Basura (refuse collection) charges have also not been confirmed. Utility bills for electricity and water will depend on personal usage.
How can I arrange a viewing?
Viewings can be arranged in person or via a live video call if you are unable to travel. Contact the OceanHome team to book a time that suits you, and we can provide a guided walkthrough of the apartment and the communal areas of the development.
Is this apartment suitable for holiday rental?
El Morche falls within the Torrox municipality on the Axarquía coast, which attracts tourists throughout the year and sees particularly strong summer demand. New-build apartments in coastal developments here are commonly used as short-term holiday lets. A tourist licence is required in Andalucía before renting; your solicitor can advise on the application process.
What is the buying process in Spain?
You will first need an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), the tax identification number required for all property transactions in Spain. Once agreed, a reservation fee is typically paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point a further deposit — commonly 10% of the purchase price — is paid. Completion takes place before a notary, who witnesses the signing of the title deeds. Your solicitor should carry out due diligence on the development's licences and planning status before you commit.
