Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for on top of 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%. ITP does not apply. In addition, allow roughly EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for land registry fees, and around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT for independent legal advice. These are rates and ranges only — your solicitor will provide a full breakdown based on the final agreed price. 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 in Spain?
Non-resident buyers can typically borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation (whichever is lower), meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Variable and fixed rates for non-residents currently sit broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though individual offers depend on your income, credit profile and the lender. We can introduce you to independent mortgage brokers who work with international buyers on the Costa del Sol.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently recorded as zero for this development; buyers should verify the final figure directly with the developer before exchange. The IBI (annual council tax) has not yet been assessed on this new-build unit — the figure will be confirmed once the property is registered with the local authority. Ask the agent for an updated position on both fees before making a reservation.
Can I view the apartment remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who cannot travel immediately. Our agents can walk through the apartment or the show unit on a live video call, and we can share developer CGIs, floor plans and any available completion photographs. In-person viewings in Estepona can be arranged at short notice once you are ready to visit.
Is this apartment suitable for short-term rental?
Estepona and the western Costa del Sol generate consistent demand for short-term holiday lets, particularly between April and October. New-build apartments in well-managed developments with communal pools tend to be popular with holidaymakers. You will need a tourist licence from the Junta de Andalucía before letting the property commercially. We recommend speaking to a local property manager about realistic occupancy levels and achievable weekly rates for this area.
What are the main steps in the Spanish purchase process?
First, obtain an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) — your Spanish tax identification number, required for any property transaction. Once you have agreed terms, you pay a reservation fee to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (contrato de arras or developer's purchase contract) at which point a further deposit, typically 10% of the purchase price, is paid. The balance is settled at the notary on completion, when title transfers formally. Your solicitor will carry out due diligence on the developer's licence, planning permissions and build guarantee throughout this process.
