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% of the purchase price. ITP does not apply. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and legal fees of around 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 — worth checking before you budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer in Spain?
Non-resident buyers in Spain are generally required to provide a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price, as Spanish lenders typically finance up to 60–70% for non-residents. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates for non-residents are broadly in the range of 3.5–4.5% per annum, though the exact rate depends on your financial profile and the lender. We can refer you to an independent mortgage broker with experience in cross-border Spanish purchases.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently €0 per month. IBI (annual council tax) has not yet been assessed for this new-build property and will be confirmed following cadastral registration after completion. Basura (refuse collection charge) figures are also pending. We recommend budgeting for utilities including electricity and water once you have confirmed your occupancy plans.
How do I arrange a viewing?
You can book an in-person viewing of the show apartment or development site through our agents. If you are based outside Spain, we also offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call, including a guided walkthrough of the common areas and show unit. Contact us to arrange a time that suits you.
Is this apartment suitable as a holiday let?
Torre del Mar and the surrounding El Tomillar area fall within Vélez-Málaga municipality, which is a recognised tourist destination on the Costa del Sol. New-build apartments in this area can be registered as tourist rentals, subject to obtaining a licence from the Junta de Andalucía and meeting the required habitability and access standards. We recommend speaking with a local lawyer before committing to a rental strategy, as licence approvals and local regulations can vary.
What are the main steps in buying a new-build property in Spain?
The first step is obtaining an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), the tax identification number required for all property purchases in Spain. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation contract is signed and a deposit paid to secure the unit. This is typically followed by a private purchase contract (contrato de compraventa), with staged payments common on new-build properties. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the remaining balance, IVA and AJD are paid. The title deed is then registered at the Land Registry. Independent legal advice is strongly recommended throughout.
