Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the asking price?
As a new-build, this apartment is subject to IVA at 10% rather than ITP. On EUR 2,650,000 that comes to EUR 265,000 in VAT. You should also budget for notary fees (EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (EUR 400–800), and legal fees of approximately 1% of the purchase price plus VAT, equating to roughly EUR 26,500 before VAT. Total acquisition costs typically add 12–14% to the purchase price.
Can I get a mortgage on this property as a non-resident?
Non-resident buyers in Spain can generally borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is typically required. On EUR 2,650,000 that implies a minimum deposit of around EUR 795,000 to EUR 1,060,000. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish lenders range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5% depending on the term and borrower profile. We can refer you to specialist mortgage brokers with experience in Costa del Sol new-build finance.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently listed at EUR 0 per month; buyers should request the finalised service charge budget from the developer before exchange. Annual IBI (council tax) has not yet been assessed for this new-build and will be confirmed once the property is registered with the Catastro. Utility connections, bin collection charges, and home insurance will be additional costs to factor into your budget.
Can I view this apartment remotely before travelling to Estepona?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who cannot travel immediately, including recorded walkthroughs and live video calls with one of our agents on site. Once you have decided to proceed, an in-person viewing in Guadalobón can be arranged at a time that suits you. Contact us to book either option.
What is the rental potential in Guadalobón, Estepona?
Estepona is a recognised tourist municipality and properties in the area can be licensed for short-term holiday rentals through the Junta de Andalucía. Guadalobón's proximity to golf courses and its position on the western Costa del Sol make it attractive to both golf tourists and longer-term seasonal renters. We do not quote specific yield percentages, but our property management team can provide market data on comparable rentals in the area.
What steps are involved in buying this property?
The first requirement is obtaining a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which your solicitor can arrange. You then pay a reservation fee to take the property off the market, followed by a private purchase contract (arras) where typically 10% of the price is paid. Stage payments may apply during the new-build construction period. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, at which point the remaining balance, taxes, and fees are paid and title is transferred. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor before signing any documents.
