Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the EUR 330,000 asking price?
Because this is a new-build property in Andalusia, you pay IVA (VAT) at 10% rather than transfer tax (ITP). That adds EUR 33,000 to the purchase price. On top of that, budget approximately EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for land registry fees, and around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT for legal fees. Total additional costs typically come to around 12–13% of the price.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish banks typically lend non-residents up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation (whichever is lower), so you should plan for a deposit of 30–40%. On EUR 330,000 that means having at least EUR 99,000–132,000 available, plus purchase costs. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though individual offers vary by lender and applicant profile.
What are the estimated running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently listed at EUR 0 per month, though buyers should confirm the final community charge with the developer before exchanging contracts, as this figure may change once the complex is fully operational. No IBI (council tax) figure is available at this stage; the IBI is set by Estepona town hall once the property is registered and will depend on the catastral value assigned to the unit.
Can I view the apartment remotely?
Yes. OceanHome can arrange a live video viewing at a time that suits you, so you can see the development and ask questions in real time without travelling to Spain. In-person viewings at the Arroyo Enmedio development are also available by appointment.
Is there rental potential in this location?
Estepona is an active tourist area on the Costa del Sol, and Arroyo Enmedio's proximity to the beach and the town centre makes short-term holiday letting a realistic option. A tourist rental licence (VFT) issued by the Junta de Andalucía is required before letting the property commercially. OceanHome can provide current rental market data for this area on request.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, you will need an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), the tax identification number required for any property purchase in Spain. Once you have agreed the price, you pay a reservation fee to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point you typically pay 10% of the price. The final balance is paid at completion before a notary, who registers the title deed. OceanHome can recommend independent English-speaking solicitors in the Estepona area.
