How does buying a property in Fuengirola work?
Buying on the Costa del Sol follows a number of set steps: orientation and selection, viewings, a legal and structural check of the property, negotiation, a preliminary purchase contract with a deposit and finally the notarial transfer. DutchQ guides Dutch and Belgian buyers through every step, with an independent lawyer for the legal review.
What additional costs come with a purchase in Fuengirola?
Besides the purchase price, in Spain you pay transfer tax or VAT, notary and registration fees and your lawyer's fees. For a second home there are also annual charges such as the municipal property tax (IBI), community fees and the non-resident tax. The exact percentages depend on the property type and current legislation. We calculate the expected costs with you in advance.
Do I need a buying advisor in Fuengirola?
A buying advisor works exclusively for you as the buyer, unlike a selling agent. Especially if you do not know the local market, are not on site or are buying in Spain for the first time, independent guidance prevents costly mistakes. DutchQ assesses the price based on market data, checks the property legally and structurally and negotiates on your behalf.
