Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for beyond the asking price?
As a new build in Andalucía, this purchase carries IVA (VAT) at 10% of the purchase price plus AJD stamp duty at 1.2%, both set by the autonomous region of Andalucía. ITP does not apply. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and legal fees at approximately 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 — worth checking before you budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers typically require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price, as Spanish lenders generally finance up to 60–70% for overseas purchasers. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish banks range broadly between 3.5% and 4.5% AER, though individual offers vary by lender and applicant profile. We recommend obtaining an agreement in principle before proceeding.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently listed at zero; please verify this directly with the developer before exchange. The annual IBI (local property tax) figure has not yet been set for this new-build property and will be confirmed once the catastral reference is registered. There is no basura (refuse) charge listed at this stage.
Can I view the property remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who cannot travel to Estepona immediately. Our agents can walk through the development, show the surrounding Cancelada area and share additional materials from the developer. Contact us to arrange a time that suits you, and an in-person visit can be scheduled once you are ready to proceed.
Is this apartment suitable as a rental investment?
Cancelada and the wider Bel-Air-Cancelada-Saladillo area attract both long-term residents and holiday visitors, supported by proximity to the coast and good road connections to Marbella and Estepona. A tourist rental licence would be required for short-term lettings in Andalucía, and availability is subject to local regulations. We can put you in contact with local property managers who can advise on realistic occupancy expectations for this part of the coast.
What are the key steps in the purchase process?
You will first need an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is required for all property transactions in Spain and can be obtained at a Spanish consulate or in person at a local police station. Once agreed, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit 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 — typically 10% of the purchase price — is paid. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the balance is transferred and title passes to the buyer. We strongly recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor before signing anything.
