Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes 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%, set by the Autonomous Community of Andalucía. ITP does not apply to new-build purchases. 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 — and it is worth checking this before you budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers in Spain typically need to provide a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price, as Spanish lenders generally finance up to 60–70% of the property value for overseas buyers. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates for non-residents are broadly in the range of 3.5–4.5%, though your rate will depend on your lender, financial profile, and the loan term. We can refer you to independent mortgage brokers with experience in cross-border lending.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently recorded at zero; buyers should verify the confirmed maintenance budget with the developer before signing. IBI (annual council tax) has not yet been assigned to this new-build unit and will be confirmed once the property receives its catastral reference. A rubbish collection charge (basura) may also apply separately; ask the agent to clarify the current figure.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who cannot travel to Sotoserena immediately. If you would prefer an in-person visit, we can arrange accompanied viewings at a time that suits you. Contact us to book either option.
Does this property have rental potential?
Estepona's western coast, including Sotoserena, attracts both short-term holiday lets and longer-term rentals, particularly given its proximity to golf courses and the coast. A 4-bedroom unit of this size is well suited to family or group rentals. You will need a tourist licence to let legally on a short-term basis; we can provide guidance on the application process. We do not quote projected yields, as these depend on occupancy, management costs, and seasonal rates.
What does the purchase process look like?
First, you will need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which can be obtained at a Spanish consulate abroad or at a police station in Spain. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation fee is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (contrato de arras or contrato privado de compraventa), at which point typically 10% of the purchase price is paid. On new builds, stage payments during construction may apply — your lawyer will review the developer's payment schedule. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the balance and all taxes are paid and the title deed is signed over to you.
