Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the EUR 1,110,000 asking price?
As a new build in Andalusia, IVA applies at 10%, which comes to EUR 111,000. Additional costs include notary fees (approximately EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (approximately EUR 400–800), and legal fees typically around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (approximately EUR 11,100 plus VAT). Budget for total purchase costs of roughly 12–13% above the asking price.
Can I get a mortgage on this property as a non-resident?
Non-resident buyers can generally obtain a mortgage in Spain, though lenders typically require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. On EUR 1,110,000 that means having EUR 333,000–444,000 available as a deposit. Current variable and fixed rates in Spain range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%. We can connect you with independent mortgage brokers who specialise in non-resident finance.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
The annual IBI (council tax) and community fees have not been confirmed by the developer at this stage. We recommend requesting a full breakdown of projected running costs, including community fees, before signing any contracts. Utilities such as water and electricity will be billed separately once the property is occupied.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who are unable to travel to Estepona. Our agents can walk you through the development and the show unit via a live video call at a time that suits you. In-person viewings can also be arranged with advance notice.
Does this property have rental potential?
Sotoserena's position on the Costa del Sol, approximately 20 minutes from Málaga Airport, means there is demand for both short-term holiday lets and longer residential rentals. To let a property as a holiday rental in Andalusia you must obtain a tourist licence (Registro de Turismo de Andalucía). We recommend speaking with a local rental management company for realistic occupancy and income projections before purchasing.
What does the buying process involve?
You will first need an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), the tax identification number required for all property transactions in Spain. Once terms are agreed, a reservation fee takes the property off the market, followed by a private purchase contract (arras) requiring typically 10% of the price. The remaining balance is paid at the notary on completion, when the escritura (title deed) is signed and ownership formally transfers to the buyer.
