Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the EUR 494,000 price?
As a new build, this property is subject to IVA at 10%, which equals EUR 49,400. Additional costs include notary fees (EUR 600 to 1,200), land registry fees (EUR 400 to 800), and legal fees of approximately 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (around EUR 5,940 including VAT). Total purchase costs are typically 12 to 13% above the asking price.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish banks generally lend up to 60 to 70% of the purchase price to non-residents, meaning a deposit of 30 to 40% is required. On EUR 494,000 that equates to EUR 148,200 to EUR 197,600. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates for non-residents range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5% annually, though terms vary by lender and applicant profile.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently EUR 0 per month. IBI (council tax) has not yet been assessed as this is a new build; the figure will be confirmed once the property is registered with the local catastro. Utility costs for a 109 m2 apartment typically run to EUR 80 to 150 per month depending on usage.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. OceanHome offers video viewings for buyers who cannot travel to Estepona in person. We can conduct a live walkthrough via video call at a time that suits you, covering the apartment, communal areas, and surroundings. In-person viewings can be arranged with at least 24 hours' notice.
Is this property suitable for holiday letting?
Arroyo Vaquero sits on the Costa del Sol, which has strong demand for short-term holiday rentals throughout most of the year. New builds in this area attract both summer visitors and golfers. You would need to obtain a tourist rental licence from the Junta de Andalucía before letting the property. OceanHome can refer you to a local rental management company for further guidance.
What is the process for buying this apartment?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which can be obtained at a Spanish consulate or in person in Spain. Once you agree terms, a reservation contract is signed and a deposit of typically EUR 3,000 to 6,000 is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), where usually 10% of the price is paid. Completion takes place at a notary, where the title deed (escritura) is signed and the balance is transferred. The full process typically takes 4 to 12 weeks for new builds depending on construction stage.
