Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the sale price?
As a new build in Andalucía, the main taxes are IVA (VAT) at 10% of the purchase price and AJD stamp duty at 1.2% of the purchase price. ITP does not apply to new-build purchases. In addition, allow roughly EUR 600–1,200 for the notary, EUR 400–800 for land registry, and around 1% plus VAT for a solicitor. 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 finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage on this property as a non-resident?
Non-resident buyers can typically borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish lenders are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though individual offers depend on your financial profile and the lender. It is advisable to secure a mortgage agreement in principle before making an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are recorded at zero at the time of listing; buyers should confirm the final figure directly with the developer before exchange, as this may change once the development is complete. IBI (annual property tax) and refuse collection fees are not yet assigned to this new-build unit and should also be confirmed with the developer or local authority once the property is registered.
Can I view the property remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who cannot visit in person, which can be arranged at a time that suits you. For a full sense of the space and specification at 352m2, an in-person visit is recommended where possible. Contact the OceanHome team to arrange either option.
Does this property have rental potential?
Estepona's New Golden Mile, including the Sotoserena area, attracts consistent interest from holiday renters given its position between Marbella and Estepona town. New-build apartments of this size and specification in the area can be suitable for short-term tourist lets, subject to obtaining a Junta de Andalucía tourist licence. Speak to a local letting agent for current occupancy rates and rental conditions before making any income assumptions.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, obtain your NIE number (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is required for all property transactions 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 or contrato de compraventa), at which point a further deposit is typically paid. The transaction is then completed before a Spanish notary, who registers the deed with the Land Registry. Using an independent solicitor throughout the process is strongly recommended.
