Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for beyond the asking price?
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. These rates are set by the Autonomous Region of Andalucía. On top of taxes, allow roughly EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for land registry fees, and approximately 1% of the purchase price plus VAT for legal fees. 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) — worth checking before you budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers typically need a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price, as Spanish lenders generally cap their loan at 60–70% for non-residents. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain range broadly between 3.5% and 4.5% depending on the lender and your financial profile. We can refer you to independent mortgage brokers who specialise in non-resident applications.
What are the ongoing running costs for this penthouse?
Community fees are currently registered at nil for this development. IBI (annual property tax) and basura (refuse collection) figures are not yet available for this new build; confirm current amounts with the agent before exchange. The energy rating is G, so factor heating and cooling costs into your annual budget.
Can I arrange a viewing, and is a remote option available?
Yes. In-person viewings can be arranged through the OceanHome team at a time that suits you. If you are based outside Spain, we can also organise a live video viewing so you can walk through the property remotely before committing to travel.
Is there rental potential for this property?
Estepona and the wider Costa del Sol attract significant tourist numbers throughout the year, and top-floor units with communal pools are consistently popular in the short-term rental market. You would need a tourist licence from the Junta de Andalucía to let legally on a short-term basis. Speak to the agent for guidance on local letting agents and the licence application process.
What does the purchase process look like for a new-build in Spain?
First, obtain a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which is required for any property purchase. Once you have selected the property, a reservation contract is signed and a reservation deposit paid to secure it. This is followed by a private purchase contract, at which point a further deposit — commonly 10% of the purchase price — is paid. The balance is settled at the notary on completion, when the title deed (escritura) is signed and keys are handed over. Using an independent Spanish solicitor throughout is strongly recommended.
