Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs for this new-build penthouse?
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. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800) and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT. 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 budget.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Spanish banks generally lend non-residents up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is typically required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain sit broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though your individual rate will depend on the lender, your financial profile and the loan term. We can refer you to an independent mortgage broker if needed.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees for this development are currently recorded as nil; buyers should confirm this with the developer before exchange. IBI (council tax) and basura (waste collection) charges are not yet confirmed for this new-build property and will be assessed once the catastral reference is registered. Your solicitor can request an estimate from the Estepona town hall during due diligence.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who cannot travel to Estepona immediately. We can walk you through the show unit or development site in real time and follow up with a detailed photo or video report. In-person viewings can be arranged at short notice for those visiting the Costa del Sol.
Is this penthouse suitable as a rental investment?
Arroyo Vaquero falls within the Estepona municipality, where short-term tourist rental licences can be obtained subject to application and compliance with Andalucía's regional rental regulations. Four-bedroom penthouses with private solariums command strong weekly rates in this coastal corridor during the summer season. We do not quote yield percentages, as occupancy rates vary; however, we can connect you with a local property management company for a rental appraisal.
What steps are involved in buying this property?
First, you will need a Spanish fiscal identification number (NIE), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation fee 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 typically 10% of the purchase price is paid. The balance, taxes and fees are settled at the notary on the completion date, when title transfers to you. For a new build, the completion date is usually tied to the developer's build programme.
