Description
A 143 m2 first-floor apartment within a small two-storey new-build development in Nueva Atalaya, Estepona, offering 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a communal pool and 2 allocated underground parking spaces. The open-plan living and dining area connects to a private terrace, and floor-to-ceiling windows bring natural light across the main living space. All bedrooms include built-in wardrobes, and air conditioning is fitted throughout. The development comprises 2 floors in total, giving the scheme a low-density character that is relatively uncommon in this part of the Costa del Sol.Nueva Atalaya sits between Estepona town and San Pedro de Alcántara, positioned along the A-7 coastal corridor with direct access to both centres. The area borders the Atalaya Golf and Country Club, and the Cancelada commercial strip, which includes day-to-day supermarkets and restaurants, is within a short drive. Málaga Airport is approximately 20 minutes by car via the AP-7. Nueva Atalaya is also within reach of the beach promenade at Playa de la Sal and the marina at Puerto Banús, roughly 10 km east along the coast.Community fees are currently recorded at zero, though buyers should confirm the final figure with the developer ahead of completion. IBI has not yet been assessed for this new-build property. The apartment carries an energy rating of G. 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. 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 budget.

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% of the purchase price. ITP does not apply to new builds. On top of those taxes, allow roughly EUR 600–1,200 for the notary, EUR 400–800 for the property registry and around 1% plus VAT for legal fees. Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet the region's conditions — for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — so it is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer in Spain?
Non-resident buyers typically need to provide a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price, as Spanish lenders generally finance up to 60–70% for non-residents. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain range broadly from around 3.5% to 4.5%, though the rate you are offered will depend on your financial profile and the lender. An independent mortgage broker with experience in Spanish property can help you compare products across multiple banks.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently listed at zero; buyers should confirm the final figure with the developer before completion, as charges may be set once the development is handed over. IBI (annual property tax) has not yet been assessed for this new-build property, so an estimate is not available at this stage. Basura (waste collection) charges are also not recorded. Your solicitor can advise on expected IBI once the catastral value is established.
Is it possible to view the property remotely?
Yes. OceanHome can arrange a live video viewing via WhatsApp, FaceTime or Zoom at a time that suits you, allowing you to walk through the apartment and the communal areas with one of our agents. Floor plans and a site plan showing the apartment's position within the development are also available on request. In-person viewings can be scheduled around your travel plans.
Does this area have rental potential?
Nueva Atalaya sits in a tourist zone on the Costa del Sol, and new-build apartments in this corridor attract both short-term holiday lets and longer-term residential tenants. To rent short-term legally in Andalucía you will need a regional tourist licence; your solicitor can advise on the application process and any restrictions that apply to this specific development. Occupancy patterns in the area are strong across the summer season and can extend into autumn given the mild climate.
What does the purchase process look like from offer to completion?
Once your offer is accepted, the first practical step is obtaining a NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), the tax identification number required for all Spanish property transactions. A reservation agreement is then signed and a holding deposit paid, typically EUR 6,000–10,000, to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point around 10% of the purchase price is usually paid. The balance is transferred at the notary on the day of completion, when the title deed (escritura) is signed and ownership formally transfers. For new builds, completion is tied to the developer's handover date.
