Frequently Asked Questions
What are the total purchase costs on top of the EUR 795,000 asking price?
As a new build in Andalusia, this property is subject to IVA (VAT) at 10%, which amounts to EUR 79,500. Additional costs include notary fees of EUR 600 to 1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400 to 800, and legal fees of approximately 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (roughly EUR 9,540 plus VAT). Total acquisition costs beyond the purchase price are typically in the range of EUR 90,000 to 95,000.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish lenders generally offer non-resident buyers a loan-to-value of 60 to 70%, meaning a deposit of 30 to 40% of the EUR 795,000 price, roughly EUR 238,500 to EUR 318,000, would be required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish banks range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5% AER. We recommend obtaining a mortgage pre-approval before reserving the property.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently listed as EUR 0 per month, though this figure should be confirmed with the developer before exchange. Annual IBI (council tax) has not yet been assessed for this new-build unit; the agent can request an estimate from the local council once the catastral reference is assigned. An annual basura (waste collection) charge will also apply but has not yet been set.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. OceanHome can arrange a live video viewing via WhatsApp or video call so you can tour the apartment and ask questions in real time. We can also provide development floor plans and a site visit report. Contact us to schedule a time that suits you.
What is the rental potential in Las Mesas, Estepona?
Las Mesas is an established residential area within Estepona, which benefits from year-round tourism. New-build apartments with communal pools and solariums on the Costa del Sol attract both short-term holiday lets and medium-term rentals from professionals and seasonal residents. A tourist licence from the Junta de Andalucía is required for short-term lettings. Our lettings team can provide current market rental data for comparable units in the neighbourhood.
What steps are involved in buying this property?
First, obtain a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which your solicitor can apply for on your behalf. Once you agree a price, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit, typically EUR 6,000 to 10,000, is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point 10% of the purchase price is usually paid. The sale is completed before a Spanish notary, at which point the remaining balance and all taxes and fees are settled. The whole process from reservation to completion typically takes 4 to 12 weeks for new builds, depending on the construction stage.
