Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs apply to this property?
As a new build in Andalucía, this purchase carries IVA (VAT) at 10% of the purchase price plus AJD stamp duty at 1.2%. ITP does not apply. Both rates are set by the autonomous region of Andalucía, not by the province or town. On top of taxes, allow roughly EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for land registry registration, and around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT for legal fees. Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet this region's conditions — for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — and it is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Spanish banks typically lend non-residents up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation (whichever is lower), meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish lenders generally range between 3.5% and 4.5%, though your individual rate will depend on your financial profile and the lender. We recommend obtaining a mortgage agreement in principle before committing to a purchase.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees for this development are currently listed at zero. Annual IBI (local property tax) figures are not yet available for this new-build home and should be confirmed with the agent. Basura (rubbish collection) charges are also unconfirmed at this stage. Budget separately for utility connections, which are typically set up upon first occupation of a new-build property.
Can I view the property remotely before visiting in person?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who are unable to travel to Estepona immediately. Our agents can walk you through the development, show you the floor plan, the private solarium, and the communal areas via a live video call. In-person viewings in Arroyo Vaquero can be arranged once you are ready to visit.
What is the rental potential of this penthouse?
Estepona and the surrounding Costa del Sol coast attract year-round visitors as well as longer-term renters. A top-floor penthouse with a private solarium in Arroyo Vaquero is well suited to both the holiday-let and long-term rental markets. To let the property as a tourist rental in Andalucía you will need a Junta de Andalucía tourist licence, and your solicitor can advise on the application process. We do not quote projected rental yields, but your agent can provide comparable rental data for the area.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is required for any property transaction in Spain. Once you have agreed the price, a reservation fee is typically paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point around 10% of the agreed price is usually paid. The balance is settled at the notary on the completion date, when legal title passes to you. Using an independent solicitor throughout the process is strongly recommended.
