Frequently Asked Questions
What are the estimated purchase costs for this apartment?
As a new build in Andalusia, IVA applies at 10% of the purchase price, which amounts to EUR 105,500. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (EUR 400–800), and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (approximately EUR 10,550 plus VAT). In total, budget for roughly 12–13% on top of the EUR 1,055,000 asking price.
Can I get a mortgage on this property as a non-resident?
Non-resident buyers can typically access mortgage financing in Spain, though lenders generally require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. On EUR 1,055,000 that means a minimum deposit of approximately EUR 316,500–422,000. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain range from around 3.5% to 4.5%. We recommend speaking to a Spanish mortgage broker early in the process.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently listed at EUR 0 per month; buyers should confirm the final monthly charge directly with the developer before completing. No IBI (annual property tax) figure is available at this stage — the agent can provide an estimated figure on request. Utility connections and basura (waste collection) charges will also apply once the property is occupied.
Can I view the apartment remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who are unable to travel to Estepona in person. A video call walk-through can be arranged at a time that suits you. In-person viewings at the development in Sotoserena are also available by appointment.
Is this apartment suitable as a rental investment?
Sotoserena's location on the western Costa del Sol, close to Estepona's beaches and within 20 minutes of Málaga Airport, supports demand for short-term holiday lets. New-build apartments in this area attract both long-term tenants and summer visitors. A tourist rental licence would be required for short-term letting in Andalusia; your lawyer can advise on the application process.
How does the purchase process work in Spain?
First, you will need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which your lawyer can obtain on your behalf. Once you have agreed the price, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit (typically EUR 3,000–6,000) is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point around 10% of the price is usually paid. Completion takes place before a notary, who registers the title deed. Using an independent Spanish solicitor throughout is strongly recommended.
