About Valle Romano Golf, Estepona
Estepona is one of the most popular destinations on Spain's Costa Blanca.
What are the purchase costs for this new-build penthouse?
As a new build in Andalucía, this purchase carries IVA (VAT) at 10% of the purchase price plus AJD stamp duty at 1.2%. ITP does not apply. In addition, budget for 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 — worth checking before you budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Spanish banks typically lend non-residents up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation, whichever is lower, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Variable and fixed mortgage rates for non-residents currently sit broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though individual offers vary by lender and applicant profile. We can introduce you to independent mortgage brokers with experience in cross-border lending.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently listed at nil for this development; buyers should verify this with the developer before completion. Annual IBI (council tax) figures have not yet been set for this new-build and should be requested from the developer prior to exchange. A separate annual basura (rubbish collection) charge also applies; the amount is not yet available for this property.
Can I view the property remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who cannot travel to Estepona straight away. We can walk through the show unit or the completed property with you in real time, answer questions on site and follow up with a written summary. In-person viewings can be arranged seven days a week.
What is the rental potential in Valle Romano Golf?
Valle Romano Golf is a popular area for short-term holiday rentals, drawing golfers and coastal visitors throughout much of the year. The 90-metre distance to the golf course and the 4 km proximity to the beach are consistent letting points. To operate a tourist rental in Andalucía you will need a regional tourist licence; the application process involves a habitation certificate and compliance with regional standards. We recommend taking local letting-agent advice on occupancy patterns before committing to a rental strategy.
What does the buying process involve?
First, obtain a Spanish NIE (foreigner identification number) — this is required to sign any property contract or open a Spanish bank account. Once you have agreed a price, a reservation fee (typically EUR 3,000–6,000) takes the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point around 10% of the price is paid. The balance is settled at the public notarial deed (escritura), at which point ownership transfers. Your solicitor will carry out title searches, verify planning status and check for outstanding charges before each stage.
