Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the asking price?
As a new-build property in Andalusia, IVA applies at 10% rather than ITP. On EUR 570,000 that amounts to EUR 57,000 in VAT. Additional costs include notary fees of approximately EUR 600 to 1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400 to 800, and legal fees of roughly 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (approximately EUR 6,840 including VAT at 21%). Total purchase costs are typically in the region of EUR 65,000 to 70,000 above the asking price.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers can obtain a Spanish mortgage, though lenders typically require a deposit of 30 to 40% of the purchase price. On EUR 570,000 that means providing EUR 171,000 to EUR 228,000 upfront. Current variable and fixed rates from Spanish lenders generally range from 3.5% to 4.5% annually, though terms vary by lender and applicant profile.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently listed as EUR 0, though fees are likely to be confirmed once the development is complete. IBI (council tax) has not yet been assessed for this property. Rubbish collection charges have not been confirmed. We recommend budgeting for these costs once the development reaches completion and the community of owners is established.
How can I arrange a viewing?
Contact OceanHome to book an in-person visit to the Las Mesas development site. If you are based outside Spain, we can arrange a live video viewing so you can see the show unit and surrounding area remotely before committing to travel.
Is this apartment suitable as a rental investment?
Estepona is an active tourist destination on the Costa del Sol and Las Mesas is close to the beach and town amenities, making short-term holiday rentals a realistic option. A tourist rental licence from the Junta de Andalucía is required before letting. Contact us for further information on the local rental market and licence 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 through a Spanish consulate. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation deposit is paid to take the property off the market, followed by a formal private purchase contract (arras) where typically 10% of the price is paid. The balance is settled at the notary on the completion date, when title transfers to you and the deeds are signed.
