Frequently Asked Questions

What are the purchase costs on top of the asking price?
As this is a new-build property, IVA applies at 10% of the purchase price, which equals EUR 39,400. You should also budget for notary fees (approximately EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (approximately EUR 400–800), and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT, bringing your total additional costs to roughly EUR 44,000–46,000.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish banks typically lend up to 60–70% of the purchase price to non-residents, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Based on a purchase price of EUR 394,000, that equates to a deposit of approximately EUR 118,200–157,600. Current mortgage rates in Spain range from roughly 3.5% to 4.5% APR, though your individual terms will depend on the lender and your financial profile.
What are the running costs for this apartment?
No community fee figure is currently registered for this development. The annual IBI (council tax) amount is not yet available for this new-build property. We recommend asking the agent for the latest fee schedule from the developer once it is confirmed.
Can I view this apartment remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. OceanHome offers video viewings for all properties, including live walk-throughs via video call at a time that suits you. Contact us to arrange either a remote or an in-person visit.
Is this property suitable for holiday letting?
Centro, Estepona is a popular tourist area with strong seasonal demand. New-build apartments in this neighbourhood attract short-term rental interest throughout the summer, and Estepona's old town draws visitors year-round. A tourist rental licence (VUT) is required in Andalusia; the agent can advise on the application process.
What steps are involved in buying this property?
You will first need an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is required for any property purchase in Spain. Once a price is agreed, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit paid, typically EUR 3,000–6,000. A private purchase contract (arras) follows, at which point around 10% of the price is transferred. Completion takes place before a notary, where the balance, taxes, and fees are settled and keys are handed over.
