Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of 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% of the purchase price. ITP does not apply. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT. Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet the region's conditions — for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — so it is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Spanish banks typically lend non-residents up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation, whichever is lower, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is generally required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%, though individual terms depend on your financial profile and the lender. We can refer you to an independent mortgage broker with experience in cross-border purchases.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently shown as zero; buyers should confirm the final figure directly with the developer prior to completion, as charges typically commence once the development is handed over and the community of owners is constituted. IBI (annual council tax) has not yet been assessed for this new-build property and will be set once the catastral reference is registered. A waste collection charge (basura) will also apply once the property is registered with the local authority.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who are unable to travel at short notice. A member of our Estepona team can walk you through the apartment, the communal areas, and the surrounding neighbourhood via a live video call. Contact us to arrange a convenient time.
Is this property suitable for holiday letting?
Estepona is an established tourist destination on the Costa del Sol, and properties in Las Mesas attract both short-stay visitors and longer-term seasonal renters given the proximity to the beach and the town centre. A tourist licence from the Junta de Andalucía is required before any short-term rental activity. We recommend speaking to a local letting agent for realistic occupancy and rental income figures specific to this development.
What does the purchase process look like?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (foreigner identification number), which can be obtained in Spain or through a Spanish consulate in your home country. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit 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 is typically paid. The sale is completed before a notary, at which point the balance is transferred and keys are handed over. For new builds, the process may include stage payments tied to construction milestones. We recommend appointing an independent solicitor to act on your behalf throughout.
