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. Additional costs typically include notary fees (EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (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 I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers can typically obtain a Spanish mortgage, though lenders generally require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain currently range broadly between 3.5% and 4.5% depending on the lender and your financial profile. We recommend speaking with an independent mortgage broker familiar with the Spanish market.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently set at nil; buyers should confirm this with the developer prior to completion. The annual IBI (local property tax) has not yet been assessed for this new-build development and will be set by Estepona town hall once the property is registered. Buyers should request an estimate from the developer and factor in utilities and home insurance separately.
Can I view this property remotely before visiting in person?
Yes. We offer video viewings for this development, which can be arranged at a time to suit you. We can walk through the show apartment or available units via video call, and also provide CGI renders and floor plans of the specific unit. In-person viewings can be arranged with advance notice.
Does this apartment have rental potential?
Las Mesas and the wider Estepona area attract both long-term residents and visitors to the Costa del Sol, which means demand for rental properties is consistent throughout the year. Short-term holiday rentals in Andalucía require a tourism licence from the regional authority before letting legally. We recommend discussing your rental strategy with a local property manager before purchase.
What does the purchase process involve for overseas buyers?
You will first need a Spanish NIE number (foreigner identification number), which is required for all property transactions. The process typically begins with a reservation agreement and a reservation deposit to secure the unit, followed by a private purchase contract (arras) where a further deposit — commonly 10% of the purchase price — is paid. The remaining balance is transferred at the notary on completion, when the title deed (escritura) is signed and ownership is formally transferred. We strongly advise appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to represent your interests throughout.
