Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the EUR 725,000 asking price?
As this is a new-build property in Andalusia, IVA applies at 10% instead of transfer tax, adding EUR 72,500. Notary fees are typically EUR 600–1,200, land registry EUR 400–800, and legal fees approximately 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (around EUR 7,250 plus VAT). Budget roughly EUR 85,000–90,000 in total purchase costs.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish banks generally lend up to 60–70% of the purchase price to non-residents, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is required. On EUR 725,000 that equates to EUR 217,500–290,000. Current variable and fixed rates from Spanish lenders sit broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though terms vary by lender and applicant profile.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently listed at EUR 0 per year; buyers should verify the final figure with the developer before completion. The IBI (council tax) figure has not yet been assessed for this property. Basura (rubbish collection) charges are also to be confirmed. These figures are expected to be set once the building receives its certificate of occupancy.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who are unable to travel to Estepona at short notice. Our agents can conduct a live walkthrough via video call, sharing footage of the apartment, communal areas, and the surrounding Arroyo Vaquero neighbourhood. Contact us to arrange a suitable time.
Does this property have rental potential?
Arroyo Vaquero and the wider Estepona area attract consistent demand from tourists and long-term residents alike. New-build apartments of this size, with communal facilities and proximity to the coast and golf courses, are well positioned for the holiday let market. A local property manager can provide realistic occupancy and rate projections specific to this development.
What steps are involved in buying this property?
First, obtain a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which is required for all property transactions. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation contract is signed and a deposit (typically EUR 3,000–6,000) is paid to secure the property. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), where around 10% of the price is exchanged. Finally, both parties sign before a Spanish notary to complete the transfer. We recommend instructing an independent Spanish solicitor to act throughout.
