Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for beyond 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% of the purchase price. ITP does not apply. On top of those taxes, 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 legal representation. Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet the region's conditions — for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — so it is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Spanish lenders typically offer non-residents a loan-to-value ratio of 60–70%, meaning a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price is usually required. Current variable and fixed rates for non-resident mortgages generally range between 3.5% and 4.5%, though individual terms depend on your financial profile and the lender. We can refer you to independent mortgage brokers who specialise in Spanish property finance.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently set at nil for this development. The annual IBI (council tax) has not yet been assessed, as this is a new-build property; the figure will be confirmed once the property is registered with the local catastro. A separate annual refuse collection charge (basura) may also apply once assessed.
How can I arrange a viewing?
Viewings can be arranged in person at the development in La Galera, Estepona. If you are based outside Spain or prefer a preliminary look before travelling, we can organise a live video viewing via WhatsApp or video call at a time that suits you. Contact us through the listing page to book either option.
Is this apartment suitable as a rental investment?
Estepona sits within a designated tourist zone on the Costa del Sol, and short-term holiday rentals are permitted subject to obtaining a Junta de Andalucía tourist licence. Demand along this stretch of the coast is consistent across most of the year, with stronger occupancy in summer months. We do not quote projected yield figures, as actual returns depend on management costs, occupancy rates, and seasonal pricing — your agent can point you towards local rental management companies for detailed projections.
What are the main steps in the purchase process?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is required for any property purchase and can be obtained at a Spanish consulate or in person in Spain. Once you agree terms, a reservation fee is typically paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), where a further deposit — commonly 10% of the purchase price — is exchanged. The balance is paid at completion before a notary, who oversees the signing of the title deed (escritura). The deed is then submitted for registration at the Land Registry. We recommend engaging an independent Spanish solicitor throughout.
