Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs for this apartment?
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. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and legal fees of 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 — so it is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage to buy this property?
Spanish lenders generally require non-resident buyers to provide a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price, with current variable and fixed mortgage rates typically ranging between 3.5% and 4.5% annually. Terms vary between lenders, so it is advisable to obtain an agreement in principle before proceeding.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees for this property are currently recorded as nil; buyers should verify this with the developer before exchange. IBI (annual property tax) and basura (waste collection charge) figures are not yet available for this new-build unit — the agent can advise on estimated amounts once the property is registered with the local authority.
How can I arrange a viewing?
Viewings can be arranged in person or by video call. Contact the OceanHome team to book a time that suits you, and we can also arrange a virtual walkthrough of the development if you are unable to travel to Estepona.
What is the rental potential of this apartment?
Estepona benefits from strong year-round demand for both short-term holiday lets and long-term residential rentals. Las Mesas, given its central location close to the beach and port, is particularly attractive to holiday visitors. A tourist licence will be required for short-term lets; the agent can guide you through the application process.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which can be obtained at a local police station or via a Spanish consulate in your home country. Once you agree on terms, a reservation deposit is paid to take the property off the market, followed by a private purchase contract (arras) at which stage typically 10% of the purchase price is paid. The balance is settled at the notary on completion, where the title deed (escritura) is signed and ownership is formally transferred. Using an independent Spanish lawyer throughout is strongly recommended.
