Questions fréquentes
What are the purchase costs on top of the EUR 549,000 asking price?
As a new build, this property is subject to IVA (VAT) at 10%, which amounts to EUR 54,900. You should also budget for notary fees of EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400–800, and legal fees of approximately 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (around EUR 5,490 plus 21% VAT). Total additional costs typically fall between EUR 61,000 and EUR 63,000.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish lenders generally offer non-resident buyers up to 60–70% loan-to-value on a property priced at EUR 549,000, meaning a deposit of between EUR 164,700 and EUR 219,600 would normally be required. Variable and fixed rates currently range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%. We can refer you to independent mortgage brokers with experience in cross-border lending.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently listed at EUR 0 per month; please verify this figure directly with the developer before exchanging contracts. The annual IBI (council tax) has not yet been assessed for this new-build. You should also allow for basura (refuse collection) charges, which vary by municipality, and utility standing charges for electricity and water.
Is it possible to view the property remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who cannot travel to Fuengirola immediately. We can walk through the development, show you the show apartment or current construction stage, and cover the surrounding El Higuerón area. Contact us to arrange a convenient time.
What is the rental potential for this apartment in El Higuerón?
El Higuerón is a tourist area within 2 km of the coast and 18 km from Málaga AGP airport, which supports demand for short-term holiday lets. Malaga province requires landlords to obtain a Vivienda con Fines Turísticos (VFT) licence before listing a property on platforms such as Airbnb. We do not quote yield percentages, but we can connect you with a local rental management company for an independent assessment.
What does the purchase process involve for buyers new to Spain?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which can be obtained at a consulate or in person in Spain. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation deposit (typically EUR 3,000–6,000) takes the property off the market. A private purchase contract (arras) is then signed and a further deposit, usually 10%, is paid. The balance is settled at the notary on the completion date, at which point the title deed (escritura) is signed and ownership is registered.
