Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the EUR 795,000 asking price?
As a new-build property in Andalusia, IVA applies at 10%, which is EUR 79,500. Additional costs include notary fees of approximately EUR 600 to 1,200, land registry fees of approximately EUR 400 to 800, and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (approximately EUR 9,558 before VAT). Total buying costs typically amount to 12 to 13% on top of the purchase price.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage for this property?
Yes. Non-resident buyers can generally obtain a Spanish mortgage for up to 60 to 70% of the purchase price or valuation, whichever is lower, meaning a deposit of 30 to 40% is typically required. On EUR 795,000, that represents EUR 238,500 to EUR 318,000. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish lenders range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5% APR, though individual offers depend on the lender and the applicant's financial profile.
What are the ongoing running costs for this penthouse?
Community fees are currently listed at EUR 0 per month. Annual IBI (local property tax) and basura (refuse collection) figures are not yet available for this new-build development; your solicitor can confirm these once the property is registered with the local authority.
Can I view this property remotely before travelling to Estepona?
Yes. OceanHome can arrange a live video viewing via WhatsApp, FaceTime, or Zoom so you can tour the property and ask questions in real time. We can also provide a detailed video walkthrough on request. In-person viewings in Las Mesas are available by appointment.
Is this penthouse suitable as a holiday rental investment?
Estepona is a recognised tourist area on the Costa del Sol with demand for short-term rentals throughout much of the year. A private solarium, two bedrooms, and proximity to the town centre and motorway access are factors that tend to support rental appeal. To let the property on a short-term basis you will need a tourist rental licence (VFT) from the Junta de Andalucía. We recommend consulting a local property lawyer for current licensing requirements before purchasing with a rental strategy in mind.
What steps are involved in buying this property?
First, you will need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once you agree a price, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit (typically EUR 3,000 to 6,000) is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point 10% of the price is usually paid. For new-builds, stage payments may apply during construction. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, at which point the remaining balance and taxes are paid and keys are handed over.
