Frequently Asked Questions
What are the estimated purchase costs on top of the EUR 605,000 asking price?
As a new-build property in Andalusia, you pay IVA at 10% (EUR 60,500) rather than ITP. Additional costs include notary fees of approximately EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of approximately EUR 400–800, and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (roughly EUR 7,260 including VAT at 21%). Budget for total purchase costs of approximately EUR 70,000–75,000 on top of the asking price.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers can typically borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is required. On EUR 605,000, that equates to a deposit of roughly EUR 181,500–242,000. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%. Speak to a Spanish mortgage broker or your agent for lender recommendations.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
No community fee figure is currently registered for this development. The IBI (annual council tax) has not yet been set by the local authority, which is common for new-build properties prior to completion. The basura (waste collection) charge is also pending. Your solicitor can request updated figures from the developer before exchange.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. OceanHome offers video viewings for buyers who are unable to travel to Estepona. We can conduct a live walkthrough via video call and provide additional footage of the development and surrounding Las Mesas area. Contact us to schedule a time that suits you.
Is this apartment suitable for short-term holiday rental?
Las Mesas sits within the Estepona municipality on the Costa del Sol, a zone with consistent tourist demand, particularly during the summer months. New-build apartments in this area can attract holiday rental interest given the proximity to Playa de la Rada and Estepona town centre. You would need to apply for a tourist licence (VFT) from the Junta de Andalucía before letting the property. We recommend speaking to a local property manager for realistic occupancy and income expectations.
What steps are involved in buying this property?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once you agree a price, a reservation fee (typically EUR 3,000–6,000) takes the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras) in which a deposit of around 10% is paid. The balance is settled at the notary on completion, when the title deed (escritura) is signed and ownership is formally transferred.
