Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs apply to this property?
As a new build in Andalucía, this purchase carries IVA (VAT) at 10% of the purchase price plus AJD stamp duty at 1.2%. ITP does not apply. In addition, budget for notary fees of approximately EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of approximately 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 this 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 I get a mortgage on this property as a non-resident?
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 usually required. Current variable and fixed rates from Spanish lenders generally range from around 3.5% to 4.5%, though the rate offered will depend on your financial profile and the lender. It is advisable to obtain a mortgage agreement in principle before reserving.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees for this development are currently set at zero. The annual IBI (council tax) figure has not yet been assessed for this new-build property and will be confirmed once the catastral reference is registered. Waste collection (basura) charges have not been confirmed at this stage. Your legal adviser can help establish the full annual cost picture once the property is registered.
How do I arrange a viewing?
In-person viewings can be booked directly through OceanHome. If you are based outside Spain, a video viewing is available so you can inspect the property and ask questions remotely before travelling. Contact us to confirm availability and schedule a time.
Does this penthouse have rental potential?
Estepona is an established tourist destination on the Costa del Sol, and Las Mesas offers convenient access to the town centre, beaches and golf courses. New-build penthouses with solariums attract interest from short-term holiday renters as well as longer-term tenants. A tourist rental licence would be required for short-let use; your legal adviser can advise on current Andalucía licensing requirements and local demand.
What are the main steps in the purchase process?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which can be obtained through a Spanish consulate or locally with legal assistance. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation deposit is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point a further deposit — typically 10% of the purchase price — is paid. The balance is settled at the notary on the date of completion, when title transfers to you. Independent legal representation throughout is strongly recommended.
