Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs should I budget for?
As a new build in Andalucía, this purchase carries IVA (VAT) at 10% of the purchase price plus AJD stamp duty at 1.2%, set by the autonomous region of Andalucía. ITP does not apply. Notary fees typically run EUR 600–1,200 and land registry fees EUR 400–800. Legal fees are commonly 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 this before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer in Spain?
Non-resident buyers can access Spanish mortgages, though lenders typically require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Interest rates at the time of writing generally range from 3.5% to 4.5%, depending on the lender and whether you opt for a fixed or variable rate. Speaking with a Spanish mortgage broker before making an offer is advisable.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently recorded as zero; buyers should confirm the final figure directly with the developer before completion. IBI (annual property tax) has not yet been assessed for this property and will be confirmed once the building receives its licence of first occupation. Basura (refuse collection) charges have also not yet been set. Your legal adviser can clarify expected figures ahead of purchase.
Can I view the apartment remotely before visiting in person?
Yes. We can arrange a video viewing so you can see the development, the apartment layout and the communal areas before committing to travel. Contact our Estepona office to schedule a video call at a time that suits you. In-person viewings can then be arranged at the development in Guadalobón.
Does this apartment have rental potential?
Guadalobón and the surrounding Estepona coastline attract both short-stay and longer-term rental demand, particularly from visitors to the Costa del Sol. New-build apartments of this size in the area can perform well in the holiday rental market, though actual occupancy and income depend on management, licensing and seasonal demand. We recommend consulting a local rental management company for realistic projections before purchase.
What does the purchase process involve for a foreign buyer?
You will first need an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is your Spanish tax identification number and is required for all property transactions. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation deposit is typically paid to take the property off the market, followed by a private purchase contract (contrato de arras) in which a further deposit is exchanged. The balance is then paid on the day of completion at the notary, where the escritura (title deed) is signed and ownership formally transfers. Engaging an independent Spanish solicitor from the outset is strongly recommended.
