Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs for this apartment?
As a new build in Andalucía, this purchase carries IVA (VAT) at 10% of the purchase price plus AJD stamp duty at 1.2%, both set by the Autonomous Community of Andalucía. 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 approximately 1% of the purchase price plus VAT. 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 non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish lenders typically offer non-residents a loan-to-value ratio of 60–70%, meaning a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price is usually required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates for non-residents in Spain generally range from 3.5% to 4.5%, though rates vary by lender and applicant profile. We recommend obtaining a mortgage agreement in principle before reserving.
What are the ongoing running costs?
IBI (council tax) and basura (refuse collection) figures are not yet available, as the development is newly built and rateable values have not been assigned. Community fees for this unit have not yet been confirmed by the developer. We will update these figures as soon as they are available.
Can I arrange a viewing, and are remote viewings available?
Yes. In-person viewings can be arranged through our Estepona office. If you are outside Spain or prefer to see the property first without travelling, we can arrange a live video viewing via WhatsApp or video call. Contact us to book a date and time that suits you.
What is the rental potential for this property?
Estepona sits within the western Costa del Sol, which sees sustained tourist demand from spring through to autumn and growing year-round interest. A 130 m2 ground-floor apartment with a private garden and sea views in Las Mesas is well placed for the holiday rental market, particularly given the development's communal facilities. We recommend speaking with a local letting agent for current occupancy rates and rental income ranges specific to this area, as yields vary depending on management, licensing, and season.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which can be obtained at a consulate or in Spain with a gestor's assistance. The typical sequence runs as follows: a reservation agreement to take the property off the market, followed by a private purchase contract (arras) where around 10% of the price is paid, and finally completion before a notary, at which point the remaining balance and all taxes and fees are settled. For a new build, stage payments during construction are common and your solicitor will review the developer's payment schedule. We strongly recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor before signing anything.
