Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the asking price?
As this is a new-build property in Andalusia, VAT (IVA) applies at 10% instead of transfer tax (ITP), amounting to EUR 61,000 on the EUR 610,000 price. Additional costs include stamp duty (AJD) at around 1.2%, notary fees of EUR 600 to EUR 1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400 to EUR 800, and legal fees of approximately 1% of the purchase price plus VAT at 21%. Budget for total purchase costs of roughly 13 to 15% above the asking price.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers can typically borrow up to 60 to 70% of the purchase price from Spanish lenders, meaning a deposit of 30 to 40% is required on a property priced at EUR 610,000. Current variable and fixed rates from Spanish banks range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%. An independent mortgage broker familiar with the Costa del Sol market can help compare products from multiple lenders.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently registered at EUR 0 per month, though this may change once the development is complete and the owners' community is formally established. IBI (annual council tax) has not yet been assessed for this property. Utility contracts for electricity and water will be set up on completion. Please ask the agent for the latest figures.
Can I view the apartment remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. OceanHome offers video viewings for buyers who cannot travel immediately. A member of our team can walk through the property or show development show homes on a live video call. In-person viewings can be arranged seven days a week with advance notice.
Is this apartment suitable as a holiday rental investment?
Las Mesas and the wider Estepona area are within the Costa del Sol tourism zone, where demand for short-term holiday rentals is consistent across spring, summer, and autumn. New-build properties in this location attract both long-stay and short-stay tenants. A regional tourist licence (Vivienda con Fines Turisticos) is required for short-term letting in Andalusia; the agent can advise on the registration process.
What steps are involved in buying this property?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which can be obtained through a Spanish consulate or via a local lawyer. Once you have agreed the purchase, a reservation contract and deposit of typically EUR 3,000 to EUR 6,000 takes the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), where 10% of the price is paid. The transaction completes before a notary, at which point the balance and all taxes are settled and title is transferred.
