Key Advantages

Why Buy Off-Plan in El Higueron?

Price Lock-In

You purchase at today's price regardless of how the market moves during construction. In a rising market this alone can represent significant equity.

Staged Payment Plans

Typically a 20 to 30 percent deposit spread across construction milestones, with the balance on completion. This improves capital efficiency versus an outright purchase.

New-Build Quality

Contemporary architecture, A-rated energy performance, underfloor heating, smart-home pre-wiring, and premium communal facilities that resale stock simply cannot match.

Developer Warranty

All new builds in Spain come with a mandatory 10-year structural warranty (garantia decenal) plus separate cover for finish defects. Your investment is protected by law.

Customisation Options

Many developers allow buyers to select finishes, kitchen configurations, and optional upgrades during the early construction phase, personalising your home before it exists.

Bank Guarantee Protection

Spanish law requires developers to hold all stage payments in a dedicated account backed by a bank guarantee. If a project is not completed, your funds are returned in full with interest.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your Questions About Off-Plan Properties in El Higueron Answered

Off-plan means purchasing a property before construction is complete, often before it has even started. In El Higueron, you reserve the unit with a small fee, sign a private purchase contract with a deposit of 20 to 30 percent, and pay the balance on handover. This structure lets you lock in today's price while the property appreciates during the build period.

Most El Higueron developers require a reservation fee of around 6,000 to 12,000 euros to secure the unit, followed by a deposit of 20 to 30 percent on signing the private purchase contract. Stage payments through construction are common on larger developments. The remaining 70 to 80 percent is due on completion.

Yes. Under Spanish law (Law 57/1968), all off-plan payments must be held in a separate account and backed by a bank guarantee or insurance policy. If the developer cannot complete the project, you are entitled to a full refund of all payments made, plus legal interest. Always verify that guarantees are in place before transferring funds.

Most El Higueron off-plan developments take 18 to 36 months from groundbreaking to handover. Developers publish an estimated completion quarter rather than a fixed date. Allow a buffer of 6 to 12 months in your planning as construction delays, while uncommon in established developments, do occur.

In most cases, yes. Subject to the terms of your purchase contract, you may be able to sell your reservation or contract prior to completion. This is known as an assignment of contract. It is most straightforward when the development has strong demand, and any gain may be subject to Spanish Capital Gains Tax. Our advisors can guide you through the process.

New-build and off-plan purchases in Spain attract VAT (IVA) at 10 percent of the purchase price, plus Stamp Duty (Actos Juridicos Documentados) at approximately 1.2 to 1.5 percent. Add notary, registry, and legal fees and your total transaction costs will be approximately 13 to 15 percent on top of the purchase price.
