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%, set by the Andalucían autonomous region. ITP does not apply to new-build purchases. In addition, allow roughly EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for land registry fees, and around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT for legal representation. 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 — and are worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage on this property as a non-resident?
Non-resident buyers in Spain can typically borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though your individual rate will depend on your lender and financial profile. It is advisable to secure an agreement in principle before making an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are listed as zero at present; buyers should confirm whether a maintenance charge will be set once the owners' community is formally constituted after completion. IBI (annual property tax) has not yet been assessed for this new build — ask the developer for an estimated figure. Basura (refuse collection) charges are not specified and should also be confirmed with the developer or local town hall.
Can I view the apartment remotely before visiting in person?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who cannot travel immediately, including live walkthroughs via video call and pre-recorded footage of the development and show unit where available. Contact us to arrange a time that suits you, and we can follow up with an in-person visit when you are ready.
Is this apartment suitable as a rental investment?
Las Mesas is within the Estepona coastal zone, which sees consistent tourist and medium-term rental demand across the year. New-build apartments in this area attract both holiday let and longer-term tenant interest. You will need a tourist rental licence from the Junta de Andalucía to let the property on a short-term basis; we can point you towards a local lawyer who handles licence applications. We do not quote projected yields, as these depend on occupancy rates and management costs that vary by operator.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which your solicitor can apply for on your behalf. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation fee is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point a further deposit — typically 10% of the purchase price — is paid. The balance is settled at completion before a notary, who registers the title deed. The full process from reservation to completion on a new build commonly takes several months, depending on the construction stage.
