Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs for 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%, set by the Autonomous Community of Andalucía. ITP does not apply. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and legal fees at approximately 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 — and are worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers in Spain can typically access mortgages covering 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is generally required. Current variable and fixed rates from Spanish lenders typically range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%. Terms and conditions vary between lenders; we can refer you to an independent mortgage broker with experience in cross-border Spanish purchases.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees for this development are yet to be confirmed. Annual IBI (council tax) figures are not yet available, as the property is a new build. Basura (waste collection) charges are also to be confirmed. We will update these figures as soon as they are issued by the local authority and the owners' community.
Can I view this property remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who cannot travel to Estepona immediately. A member of our team can walk through the property or the show unit on a live video call, and we can also provide recorded footage of the development and the Las Mesas area. Contact us to arrange a time that suits you.
What is the rental potential in this area?
Las Mesas is within the municipality of Estepona, which sits on the Costa del Sol, a well-established tourist destination. New-build properties with a solarium, communal pool, and underground parking are in consistent demand from both short-term holiday renters and longer-term tenants. A holiday rental licence is required for short-term letting in Andalucía; your solicitor can advise on the application process. We do not quote yield percentages as these depend on occupancy levels and management costs that vary by operator.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is required to complete any property purchase in Spain. Once you decide to proceed, a reservation contract is signed and a reservation deposit paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point a further stage payment is typically made. The transaction is completed before a notary, who registers the title in your name. We recommend appointing an independent solicitor to represent your interests throughout.
