Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs for a new-build apartment in Andalucía?
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. 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 to buy this apartment?
Spanish banks typically lend non-residents up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation, whichever is lower, so buyers should expect to provide a deposit of 30–40%. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates are broadly in the range of 3.5–4.5%, though individual offers vary by lender, nationality and income profile. A mortgage broker with experience in Spanish new-build purchases is advisable.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees for this development are not yet confirmed; please ask the agent for the current figure. Annual IBI (council tax) has not yet been assessed for this new-build property. Basura (refuse collection) charges are set by the local council and are also to be confirmed. Budget separately for utilities including electricity, water and broadband.
Can I view the apartment remotely before travelling to Estepona?
Yes. OceanHome can arrange a live video viewing via WhatsApp or video call at a time to suit you. We can walk through the apartment and the communal areas in real time and answer questions on the spot. An in-person visit can then be arranged once you are ready to proceed.
Is this apartment suitable as a rental investment?
Centro, Estepona is a tourist zone with year-round demand driven by beach visitors, the old town and access to the Costa del Sol's golf and leisure offer. Short-let licences in Andalucía are issued by the Junta de Andalucía and require meeting specific habitability standards; buyers should verify licence eligibility with a local lawyer before purchase. The agent can provide guidance on the local rental market without guaranteeing specific yield figures.
What does the purchase process look like in Spain?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), obtainable in Spain or via a Spanish consulate in your country of residence. Once you have agreed a price, a reservation fee (typically EUR 3,000–6,000) 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 around 10% of the purchase price is usually exchanged. The balance is paid at the notary on the day of completion, when title transfers to the buyer. For new builds, payment schedules may differ and are set out in the developer's contract.
