Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs 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 region. ITP does not apply to new-build purchases. On top of taxes, budget for notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800) and legal fees at around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT. Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet the 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 I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers in Spain can typically borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Interest rates for non-resident mortgages currently run in the region of 3.5–4.5%, though the rate you are offered will depend on your lender, your financial profile and whether you opt for a fixed or variable product. We can refer you to independent mortgage brokers with experience in cross-border purchases.
What are the ongoing running costs for this property?
Community fees are currently listed at nil for this development; buyers should confirm this with the developer before exchange. Annual IBI (local property tax) figures are not yet available for this new-build and should be requested from the developer. We will update this information as it becomes available.
Can I view the property remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings by appointment for buyers who are not able to travel to Estepona immediately. A member of our team can walk through the property and the Sotoserena development with you via video call, and we can follow up with additional footage or floor plans on request. In-person viewings can also be arranged at a time that suits you.
What is the rental potential for a property in Sotoserena?
Sotoserena sits on the New Golden Mile corridor west of Estepona, which attracts both short-term holiday visitors and longer-term tenants looking for access to the coast and golf facilities. A penthouse of this size and specification is well placed for the premium end of the holiday rental market. Rental income will vary depending on occupancy, management costs and whether you hold the required tourist licence; we recommend speaking with a local lettings agent for a realistic assessment before purchase.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE number, which is required for any property transaction in Spain. The process typically begins with a reservation agreement and a reservation deposit to take the property off the market, followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa) at which a further deposit — commonly 10% of the purchase price — is paid. The balance is settled at the notary on the completion date, at which point ownership formally transfers. We strongly recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to carry out due diligence and guide you through each stage.
