Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the EUR 610,000 asking price?
As a new-build property in Andalusia, IVA applies at 10%, totalling EUR 61,000. You should also budget for notary fees of roughly EUR 600 to EUR 1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400 to EUR 800, and solicitor fees of approximately 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (around EUR 7,381 including VAT at 21%). Total additional costs are typically 12 to 13% of the purchase price.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers can generally access Spanish mortgages, though lenders typically require a deposit of 30 to 40% of the purchase price. On EUR 610,000, that means EUR 183,000 to EUR 244,000 upfront. Current variable and fixed rates from Spanish lenders are broadly in the 3.5 to 4.5% range, though terms vary by lender and applicant profile.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
No community fee or IBI figure is currently registered for this development. As a new-build, IBI will be assessed once the property is fully registered with the local authority. We recommend asking your solicitor to confirm expected annual charges before exchange. Utility contracts for electricity, water, and internet will be set up separately once you take possession.
Can I view the apartment remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. OceanHome offers video viewings for buyers who are unable to visit in person. We can arrange a live video walkthrough of the development, show you the communal areas and pool, and walk through the apartment layout with you. Contact us to schedule a convenient time.
What is the rental potential for this property in Las Mesas?
Estepona is a licensed tourist rental area, and demand in Las Mesas from both short-stay visitors and long-term tenants is consistent throughout the year, given its proximity to the town centre and the airport. We recommend speaking to a local rental management company for realistic occupancy and income projections before purchase, as yields depend on furnishing standard, management fees, and seasonal demand.
What steps are involved in buying a property in Spain?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE number, which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once you agree a price, a reservation fee of typically EUR 3,000 to EUR 6,000 secures the property while due diligence is carried out. A private purchase contract (arras) follows, at which point around 10% of the purchase price is paid. The remaining balance is settled at the notary on completion, when the title deed (escritura) is signed and keys are handed over.
