Frequently Asked Questions
What are the estimated purchase costs on top of the asking price?
As a new-build, this property is subject to IVA at 10% rather than ITP, which amounts to approximately EUR 91,900. Additional costs include notary fees of EUR 600 to 1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400 to 800, and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (approximately EUR 9,190 plus VAT). In total, budget for roughly EUR 105,000 to EUR 115,000 on top of the EUR 919,000 asking price.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers typically need a deposit of 30 to 40% of the purchase price, meaning EUR 275,700 to EUR 367,600 for this property. Spanish lenders are currently offering variable and fixed mortgage rates in the range of 3.5% to 4.5%. Your OceanHome agent can refer you to an independent mortgage broker with experience in cross-border financing.
What are the ongoing running costs for this penthouse?
Community fees are currently recorded as EUR 0, though this may change once the development is fully operational. IBI (annual council tax) has not yet been assessed for this new-build development. Utility contracts for water and electricity are set up separately by the owner. Please ask the agent for the latest figures once the community is formally constituted.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. OceanHome offers video viewings via WhatsApp or video call, allowing you to walk through the property with an agent in real time. This is particularly useful for new-build developments where show homes or CGI walkthroughs may also be available. In-person viewings in Las Mesas can be arranged on weekdays and most weekends.
Is this penthouse suitable as a rental investment?
Estepona is an established tourist destination on the Costa del Sol, and Las Mesas is within practical distance of the beach and town centre. New-build penthouses with solariums in this area attract both long-term and holiday rental interest. A tourist rental licence (Vivienda con Fines Turísticos) is required to let on short-term platforms; your legal adviser can guide you through the registration process with the Junta de Andalucía.
What steps are involved in buying this property?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), obtainable via a Spanish consulate or in Spain with legal assistance. Once you agree terms, a reservation deposit (typically EUR 6,000 to EUR 10,000) takes the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract, where a further deposit is paid, usually 10% of the total price. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the remaining balance, IVA, and all fees are settled. The title deed is then registered with the land registry.
