Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs apply to this property?
As a new-build, this penthouse is subject to IVA at 10% rather than transfer tax (ITP). On a price of EUR 895,000 that amounts to EUR 89,500 in VAT. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (EUR 400–800), and legal fees of approximately 1% plus VAT, around EUR 10,740. Total acquisition costs are typically 12–14% on top of the purchase price.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish banks generally lend up to 60–70% of the purchase price to non-residents, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is required. On EUR 895,000 that equates to a deposit of EUR 268,500 to EUR 358,000. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%. An independent mortgage broker with Spanish market experience is advisable.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently listed as EUR 0 per month. Buyers must confirm the final figure with the developer before contracts are signed, as this is a new-build and the community may not yet be formally constituted. IBI (annual property tax) has not yet been assessed for this property and should be verified with Estepona town hall. Basura (refuse collection) charges have not been provided and should also be confirmed.
Can I view this property remotely before visiting in person?
Yes. OceanHome can arrange a live video viewing via WhatsApp or video call at a time that suits you, so you can assess the property, ask questions in real time, and see the communal areas before committing to travel. In-person viewings at the Las Mesas development are also available by appointment.
Is this property suitable as a rental investment?
Las Mesas is within the Estepona municipality, which is an established tourist area on the Costa del Sol. New-build penthouses with communal pools in this location can generate short-term holiday rental income during the summer season and shoulder months. Buyers should apply for a Junta de Andalucía tourist rental licence before letting the property. Prospective returns will depend on final rental charges, occupancy rates, and management costs, and no specific figures can be guaranteed.
What are the steps involved in buying this property?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. A reservation contract is signed along with a holding deposit, typically EUR 6,000–10,000, to remove the property from the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point 10% of the purchase price is usually paid. For new-builds, stage payments may apply during construction. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, at which point the balance and all taxes are settled and keys are handed over.
