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. On top of those taxes, allow roughly 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 — and it is worth checking before you budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers typically need a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price, as Spanish lenders generally fund up to 60–70% for non-residents. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish banks are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though the rate you are offered will depend on your financial profile and the lender. A Spanish mortgage broker can compare options across multiple banks.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently set at zero for this development. IBI (annual property tax) has not yet been assessed for this property, as is normal before first occupation of a new build. Once the catastral reference is assigned, the local authority will calculate IBI based on the assessed rateable value. Basura (refuse collection) charges have not yet been confirmed.
How do I arrange a viewing?
Contact the OceanHome team to book an in-person visit to the Selwo development. If you are based outside Spain or prefer a preliminary look before travelling, we can arrange a live video viewing at a time that suits you. Our agents can walk you through each room and the communal areas in real time.
Does the location suit short-term rental use?
Selwo is within the Estepona municipality, which is a licensed tourist rental area. The western Costa del Sol draws visitors throughout the year due to the golf offer and proximity to Marbella. Before letting the property, you will need to obtain a tourist licence from the Junta de Andalucía and comply with local registration requirements. We can put you in touch with a local property manager.
What does the purchase process look like from offer to completion?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which can be obtained at a Spanish consulate or in person in Spain. Once your offer is agreed, a reservation contract is signed and a holding 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 payment — typically 10% of the purchase price — is made. The transaction completes before a Spanish notary, at which point the balance, taxes and fees are paid and the title deeds are signed. The property is then registered at the Land Registry in your name.
