The prices in Marbella and Estepona. Any changes?

When talking about Marbella,

there is a general sense in the

market that things are getting

better and it is true. There are

more transactions going on as

it can be seen on the official

numbers chart attached and

the potential buyers we are

working with are more ready

to buy. They are quite well

informed about the market

and a number of them are

already mentioning that they

know that the market is going

to change soon and don’t want

to lose the opportunity to buy

at the bottom. However, we

have to be cautious. It still

takes a lot of work to sell a

property and, as can be seen

on the chart, prices are not going up but down. Additionally, as commented on

my previous newsletter, the stock of properties for sale or inventory is increasing

so it will still push the prices down or maintain them on the stable levels we are

seeing lately.

On the other hand, and regarding exchange rates, the weakness of the euro has

helped British and American buyers but seems that in the last weeks that is also

changing and the debility of the Russian ruble and the Norwegian krone does no

help either.

I personally think that the market is showing signs of change but not as fast as all

of us would have liked. The European macroeconomy and, in particular, the

Spanish one are still not strong enough to shoot up the real estate market.

Apartment in Los Almendros: Almost brand

new two bed apartment, sea views: 249.000 €

Townhouse in La Quinta: Ample spaces and

five beds on first line golf: 432.000 €

Azalea Beach - Spectacular townhouse

The new price index was published by the Ministry of Housing last month for the

second quarter of 2014 without major changes. The situation in Marbella and

Estepona remains about the same than in previous periods: more or less stable with a

slight down tendency in Marbella and still dropping with no stabilization tendency

in Estepona.

TIPS AND INSIGHTS ABOUT:

Selling:

Capital Gain Tax — is the tax you have to pay for the difference between what you sold the property for and what you

paid for it discounting the expenses you had on the transactions and investments on the property (if you are a non resi-

dent in Spain, the buyer has to deposit 3% of the purchase price at the Tax Office to cover for this tax or other non paid

taxes in Spain. A tax declaration of the sale has to be presented by the seller to liquidate that tax where the 3% retained

will be accounted for: if the tax is higher than the 3% the seller will have to pay the extra but if the tax is lower the seller

will get a refund). There are also special cases when you are over 65 years.

Plusvalia Tax—Payable to the Council to account for the increase of value of the land where the property is. The

amount is calculated by multiplying the catastral value of the land, the number of years of ownership of the property

and two more coefficients that depend on the Council.

Buying:

Transfer tax or VAT (plus AJD) — I have written some articles about this because there are some different cases depend-

ing on the type of property: residences, land, garages, storages or commercials. In general, if it is a new property it will

pay VAT (plus AJD—an additional 1,5%) ranging from 10 to 21% of the purchase price and if it is a second hand proper-

ty will pay transfer tax ranging from 8 to 10% of the purchase price.

Notary and Land Registry expenses (although they are not really taxes are payable on each transaction).

Owning:

I.B.I. tax — it is payable to the Town Hall to pay for the maintenance expenses of the Council. It is calculated from the

catastral value of the property.

Rubbish collection tax—it depends on each municipality and in some cases is also calculated from the catastral value of

the property.

Wealth tax—this tax may be complex so if you are a resident in Spain is advisable to have a tax advisor.

Rental income of non residents—whether you are renting your property or not, the Tax office will require non residents

to pay this tax. The base for the tax is also calculated from the catastral value.

Since each particular case is different, it is fully recommended that you check your own details with your lawyer or tax advi-

sor.

¡Vendida en tres meses! Oportunidades del mes

Los precios en Marbella y Estepona. ¿Algún cambio?

Cuando hablamos de Marbe-

lla, hay indicios en el Mercado

de que va mejor y es verdad.

En el gráfico adjunto, pode-

mos ver, según los datos pu-

blicados, que hay más transac-

ciones y que los potenciales

compradores están más prepa-

rados para comprar. Éstos

están bastante bien informa-

dos y algunos ya manifiestan

que no quieren perder la opor-

tunidad de adquirir ahora ya

que saben que el Mercado va a

cambiar.

Sin embargo, tenemos que ser

cautelosos. Todavía hay que

trabajar mucho para vender

una propiedad y, como pode-

mos apreciar en el gráfico, los

precios no suben sino que, de hecho, están bajando. Adicionalmente, como co-

menté en mi ultimo newsletter, el stock de propiedades a la venta está incremen-

tándose, lo que empuja los precios a la baja o, en su caso, a mantenerse estables

como estamos viendo últimamente.

Por otra parte, y mirando a los tipos de cambio, la debilidad del euro está ayu-

dando a compradores británicos y americanos, aunque parece que en las últimas

semanas está cambiando. La debilidad del rublo ruso y de la corona noruega tam-

poco ayuda mucho. Personalmente, pienso que el Mercado está empezando a

cambiar pero no tan rápido como nos gustaría. La macroeconomía europea, y en

particular, la española, no está todavía suficientemente fuerte para impulsar el

Mercado inmobiliario.

Apartamento en Los Almendros: práctica-

ment nuevo, 2 dorm, vista al mar: 249.000 €

Adosado en La Quinta: amplio y con 5

dorm, primera línea de golf: 432.000 €

Azalea Beach - Espectacular adosado

El Ministerio de Fomento publico el mes pasado el nuevo índice de precios para el

segundo trimestre de 2014 y no se observan cambios significativos: la situación en

Marbella y Estepona permanece parecida a los periodos anteriores, es decir, más o

menos estable con una ligera tendencia a la baja en Marbella y cayendo todavía en

Estepona.

INFORMACION DE UTILIDAD:

En operaciones de venta de inmuebles:

Ganancia de capital — es el impuesto que se paga por la ganancia que se produce al vender una propiedad. Se calcula

como la diferencia entre el precio que se pago y la cantidad por la que se ha vendido deduciendo los gastos de las dos

operaciones y posibles inversiones en la propiedad (en el caso de no residentes, el comprador esta obligado a ingresar

un 3% del precio de compra en la Agencia Tributaria para cubrir este impuesto u otros posibles impuestos que estén

pendientes de pago. El vendedor deberá presentar la declaración de la venta para liquidar el impuesto: si el impuesto es

mayor que el 3% que se ha retenido, el vendedor tendrá que pagar la diferencia y, si es menor, solicitará una devolu-

ción). Hay también casos especiales cuando el vendedor es mayor de 65 años y/o es la vivienda habitual.

Plusvalía Municipal—es un impuesto pagadero al Ayuntamiento por el incremento de valor del terreno sobre el que

esta la propiedad que se transmite. Se calcula en función del valor catastral del suelo, los años de posesión y unos coefi-

cientes que dependen de cada Ayuntamiento.

En operaciones de compra de inmuebles:

Impuesto de Transmisiones Patrimoniales o IVA (más AJD) — he escrito con anterioridad algún artículo sobre este tema

puesto que hay distintos casos dependiendo del tipo de propiedad y quien la transmite. En general, si la propiedad es

nueva pagará IVA (más 1,5% de AJD) que varia entre el 10 y el 21% del precio de compra y si es de segunda mano paga

Transmisiones Patrimoniales entre un 8 y un 10% del precio de compra.

Notaria y Registro de la Propiedad (aunque no son realmente impuestos, son pagaderos en cada transacción).

Por la posesión de un inmueble:

I.B.I. — se paga al Ayuntamiento para cubrir los gastos de mantenimiento del mismo. Se calcula en función del valor

catastral de la propiedad.

Tasa de Basura—depende de los Ayuntamientos y en algunos casos también se calcula en función del valor catastral de

la propiedad.

Impuesto de Patrimonio —es un impuesto complejo por lo que siempre es recomendable usar un asesor fiscal.

Renta de Capital Inmobiliario—tanto si la propiedad se esta alquilando como si no, la Agencia Tributaria va a requerir a

los no residentes a que paguen este impuesto. La base imponible se calcula en función del valor catastral de la propie-

dad.

Como cada caso es diferente, es muy recomendable que compruebe sus propios detalles con su abogado o su asesor fiscal.
