Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the asking price?
As this is a new-build property in Andalusia, IVA (VAT) applies at 10% rather than ITP. On EUR 605,000 that equals EUR 60,500. You should also budget for notary fees of EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400–800, and legal fees of approximately 1% of the purchase price plus VAT, which comes to around EUR 726. Total purchase costs are typically 12–14% of the price.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident?
Yes. Spanish banks generally lend to non-residents on properties like this one at EUR 605,000, though they typically require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price, meaning you would need between EUR 181,500 and EUR 242,000. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%. We can refer you to a mortgage broker who specialises in non-resident buyers.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are listed as EUR 0 per month, but this should be confirmed directly with the developer before exchange, as fees for new-build developments are sometimes set after practical completion. IBI (council tax) has not yet been assessed for this property and will be confirmed once the catastral reference is registered. Basura (refuse collection) charges also apply and vary by municipality.
Can I view the property remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who cannot travel to Estepona immediately. Our agents can conduct a live video call walkthrough of the show unit or the completed property, and provide supporting materials including floor plans and developer documentation. In-person viewings in Las Mesas can also be arranged on request.
Is this property suitable as a holiday rental?
Estepona is a designated tourist area on the Costa del Sol, and properties here can be licensed for short-term holiday rental through the Junta de Andalucía's registration process. A fifth-floor penthouse with a solarium and communal pool in Las Mesas would be a competitive rental proposition, particularly during the spring and summer season. We recommend consulting a local property manager for realistic occupancy and income estimates before purchase.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (foreigner identification number), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once you have agreed the purchase, you pay a reservation fee to take the property off the market, followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa) where typically 10% of the price is paid. The balance is paid at the notary on the completion date, when the title deed (escritura) is signed and ownership transfers to you. For new builds, stage payments during construction may also apply.
