Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for beyond the asking price?
As this is a new-build property in Andalusia, you will pay IVA at 10% rather than transfer tax. On EUR 505,000 that equates to EUR 50,500. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (EUR 400–800), and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT, so approximately EUR 5,050 plus VAT. In total, budget for roughly 12–13% on top of the purchase price.
Can I obtain a mortgage on this property as a non-resident?
Non-resident buyers can typically access mortgages from Spanish lenders, though most banks require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. On EUR 505,000 that means between EUR 151,500 and EUR 202,000 upfront. Current variable and fixed rates from Spanish lenders generally range from 3.5% to 4.5%, though exact terms depend on your financial profile and the lender.
What are the estimated ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently recorded as EUR 0, though fees may be set once the development is handed over and a homeowners' community is established. IBI (annual council tax) and basura (refuse collection) figures are not yet available for this new-build. We recommend asking the agent for the developer's projected figures before exchange.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who are unable to travel to Estepona in person. These can be conducted via video call at a time that suits you, covering the apartment, communal areas, and the surrounding Las Mesas neighbourhood. Contact us to book either an in-person or remote viewing.
What is the rental potential for this apartment?
Estepona is an established tourist destination on the Costa del Sol, and properties in Las Mesas benefit from proximity to the beach and the old town. Short-term holiday rentals require a regional tourism licence from the Junta de Andalucía. Demand for both short and long-term rentals in Estepona has been consistent in recent years, though we do not quote yield figures without verified local rental data.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), obtainable via a Spanish consulate or in person in Spain. Once a price is agreed, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit paid, typically EUR 3,000–6,000. This is followed by the arras contract, where 10% of the purchase price is exchanged, making the agreement binding on both parties. The sale completes at a notary, where the title deed is signed and the remaining balance transferred. A Spanish solicitor is strongly recommended throughout.
