Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs for this new-build apartment in Sotoserena?
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. 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 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 non-residents obtain a mortgage to buy this property?
Non-resident buyers in Spain typically require 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 broadly range from 3.5% to 4.5%, though individual offers vary by lender and applicant profile. We recommend taking independent mortgage advice before committing.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees for this development have not yet been set; please ask the agent for the latest figure once confirmed. The annual IBI (council tax) figure is not yet available as this is a new-build property. A basura (waste collection) charge will also apply once the property is registered with the local authority. We will update these figures as they are confirmed.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who are unable to travel to Estepona immediately. A live video call can be arranged so you can walk through the apartment and the development's common areas in real time. Contact the agent to book either an in-person or video viewing at a time that suits you.
Is this apartment suitable as a rental investment?
Estepona and the wider Costa del Sol attract substantial holiday and long-term rental demand throughout the year. Sotoserena's proximity to Marbella, the beach, and Málaga airport makes it a practical choice for both short-term tourist lets and longer residential tenancies. You will need a tourist licence to let the property short-term in Andalucía; the agent can advise on the application process. We do not quote yield percentages, as these depend on your usage, management costs, and prevailing market conditions.
What steps are involved in buying this property?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which can be obtained via a Spanish consulate or in person in Spain. Once you agree terms, 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), at which point a further deposit — typically 10% of the purchase price — is paid and the terms are legally binding. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the remaining balance and all taxes are settled. We strongly recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to act for you throughout.
