Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs apply to this property?
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. In addition, budget for notary fees of approximately EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of 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 this 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?
Spanish lenders typically offer non-residents up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates for non-residents are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though individual offers vary by lender and applicant profile. We can refer you to independent mortgage brokers who work with international buyers.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
IBI (annual council tax) has not yet been assessed for this new-build and will be set once the property is registered with the catastro. Community fees are currently listed as nil, though this may be updated once the development is handed over and the owners' community is formally constituted. We recommend confirming both figures with the developer before exchange.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who cannot travel to Estepona immediately. Our agent can walk through the show unit or the relevant apartment and answer questions in real time. In-person viewings can be arranged at a time that suits you.
Is this apartment suitable as a rental investment?
Estepona's coastal location and proximity to Málaga Airport make it a practical base for short-term holiday lets. To operate a tourist rental legally in Andalucía, you must register with the regional tourism authority and display your licence number in all advertising. We can connect you with local rental management firms who can advise on expected occupancy and compliance requirements.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, you will need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which can be obtained through a Spanish consulate or in person in Spain. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation payment secures the property and removes it from the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), under which a further deposit is typically paid. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the balance is paid and title transfers to you. We recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to handle due diligence throughout.
