About Nueva Atalaya, Estepona
Estepona is one of the most popular destinations on Spain's Costa Blanca.
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%. ITP does not apply. Both AJD and ITP rates are set by the autonomous region of Andalucía, not by Málaga province or Estepona municipality. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT. Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet Andalucía's conditions — for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — worth checking before you budget.
Can I obtain a mortgage on this property as a non-resident?
Non-resident buyers in Spain 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 broadly between 3.5% and 4.5% per annum, though individual bank offers vary. It is advisable to obtain a mortgage offer in principle before making a reservation.
What are the ongoing running costs for this penthouse?
Community fees are currently listed at EUR 0 per annum; buyers should verify the final service charge budget with the developer prior to completion. The annual IBI (property tax) figure is not yet available for this new-build property — the agent can provide an estimate. The energy performance certificate is rated G.
Can I view this property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. OceanHome can arrange a video viewing of this penthouse in Nueva Atalaya at a time that suits you. Remote viewings allow you to assess the layout, finish, and communal areas before committing to a visit. Contact the agent to schedule a call.
What is the rental potential in this area?
Nueva Atalaya and the wider Estepona area attract both long-term and short-term holiday rental demand, given the proximity to the coast and Málaga Airport. New-build properties in this corridor have historically let well during summer months. Actual rental income will depend on management, licensing, and occupancy; the agent can introduce specialist letting consultants if required.
What steps are involved in the purchase process?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which can be obtained at a Spanish consulate in your home country or in Spain. Once you agree terms, a reservation fee is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), typically requiring 10% of the purchase price. The balance and all applicable taxes are paid at the notary on the completion date, when ownership transfers officially. Independent legal representation throughout is strongly advised.
