Frequently Asked Questions
What are the total purchase costs for this penthouse?
As a new-build property in Andalusia, VAT (IVA) applies at 10%, which amounts to EUR 55,200 on the EUR 552,000 asking price. You should also budget for notary fees of approximately EUR 600 to EUR 1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400 to EUR 800, and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (approximately EUR 6,627 including VAT). Total acquisition costs typically add 12 to 13% on top of the purchase price.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage to buy this property?
Yes. Spanish banks generally offer non-resident buyers financing of up to 60 to 70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30 to 40% is typically required. On EUR 552,000, that equates to a deposit of roughly EUR 165,600 to EUR 220,800. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%, though rates vary by lender and applicant profile.
What are the ongoing running costs for this property?
Community fees are currently listed as EUR 0 per month, which may reflect a pre-completion estimate; buyers should verify the confirmed figure with the developer before exchange. IBI (local council tax) has not yet been assessed for this new-build. Buyers should request a projection from the developer or local Catastro office. Utility costs will depend on usage.
Can I arrange a viewing, and are remote viewings available?
Yes. In-person viewings can be arranged through OceanHome at a time that suits you. If you are based outside Spain, we also offer video viewings so you can walk through the development and see the show unit remotely before committing to travel.
What is the rental potential for a property in Arroyo Enmedio?
Arroyo Enmedio sits within a popular coastal tourist zone approximately 1 km from the beach. Properties in this area of Estepona attract both short-term holiday rental demand and longer-term residential tenants. A tourist rental licence (Vivienda con Fines Turísticos) is required for short-term lets in Andalusia. We recommend speaking with a local rental management agent for a realistic income assessment based on comparable units.
What steps are involved in buying this property?
The process begins with obtaining a NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is required for all property transactions in Spain. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit, typically EUR 3,000 to EUR 6,000, is paid to secure the unit. A private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa) follows, at which point 10% of the purchase price is usually paid. The transaction is completed before a Spanish notary, at which point the balance and all taxes are settled. The property is then registered in your name at the Land Registry.
