Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for on top of 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 approximately EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for land registry fees, and around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT for legal representation. 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 can typically borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is generally required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates for non-residents range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5% depending on the lender and your financial profile. It is advisable to obtain a mortgage agreement in principle before committing to a reservation.
What are the ongoing running costs for this property?
Community fees are currently set at zero for this development. The annual IBI (council tax) figure has not yet been confirmed for this new build and should be verified with the agent or local town hall before exchange. Basura (rubbish collection) charges are also unconfirmed at this stage. Utility connections and home insurance are additional costs to factor into your annual budget.
How do I arrange a viewing?
Viewings can be arranged in person or by video call if you are unable to travel to Estepona. Contact OceanHome to book a time that suits you. Remote video viewings cover the apartment, communal areas, and surrounding development, and can include a live walk-through with a local agent who can answer questions in real time.
What is the rental potential for this apartment?
Los Flamingos is within a well-established tourist area on the Costa del Sol, and properties here are in demand for both short-term holiday rentals and longer seasonal lets. To let the property commercially, you will need to register for a tourist licence with the Junta de Andalucía. Demand is typically strongest from May to October, with golf tourism extending interest into the shoulder months. Your agent can advise on local rental management options.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), the tax identification number required for all Spanish property transactions. Once your NIE is in order, the process typically begins with a reservation agreement and payment of a holding deposit to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato privado), at which point a further deposit is usually paid. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the remaining balance, taxes, and fees are settled and title passes to you. Independent legal advice is strongly recommended throughout.
