Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the EUR 390,000 asking price?
As a new-build property in Andalusia, you pay IVA (VAT) at 10% rather than transfer tax (ITP). On EUR 390,000 that amounts to EUR 39,000. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (EUR 400–800) and legal fees of approximately 1% of the purchase price plus VAT, so around EUR 3,900–4,700. Budget for total purchase costs of roughly 13–15% above the listed price.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Spanish banks typically lend non-residents up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation, whichever is lower. On EUR 390,000, you would need a deposit of approximately EUR 117,000–156,000. Variable and fixed mortgage rates currently range from around 3.5% to 4.5% depending on the lender, your financial profile and the loan term. We can refer you to independent mortgage brokers with experience in cross-border lending.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently listed at EUR 0 per month; buyers should verify the final figure directly with the developer before exchange. IBI (annual council tax) has not yet been confirmed for this development and will be assessed once the property is registered with the catastro. We recommend budgeting for IBI and any applicable waste collection charge (basura) once confirmed.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who cannot visit in person. For new-build properties we can also share developer show-home footage or CGI walk-throughs where available. Contact us to arrange a time that suits you, and we can follow up with an in-person visit once you are ready to travel.
Does this apartment have rental potential?
Arroyo Vaquero sits within the Estepona municipality, which is an established short-term rental market on the Costa del Sol. New-build apartments with communal pools in coastal areas of Estepona attract both holiday and long-term rental demand. A tourist rental licence (VUT) is required for short-term lets in Andalusia; eligibility depends on the community statutes of the development, which buyers should confirm before purchase.
What steps are involved in buying this property?
You will first need to obtain an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), the Spanish tax identification number required for any property purchase. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation contract is signed and a deposit (typically EUR 3,000–6,000) is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point a further deposit, usually 10% of the purchase price, is paid. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, at which point the remaining balance and all taxes are settled and keys are handed over.
