Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the EUR 438,000 asking price?
Because this is a new-build property in Andalusia, IVA at 10% applies instead of transfer tax, adding EUR 43,800 to the price. You should also budget for notary fees (approximately EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (approximately EUR 400–800), and independent legal fees of roughly 1% of the purchase price plus VAT, bringing total additional costs to around 12–13% of the asking price.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Yes. Spanish banks typically lend non-residents up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation (whichever is lower), so a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Based on EUR 438,000, that means having roughly EUR 131,400–175,200 available before purchase costs. Variable and fixed mortgage rates currently range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5% AER; speak to an independent broker for a personalised illustration.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently stated as EUR 0 per year; buyers should verify the final figure directly with the developer before exchange. Annual IBI (council tax) has not yet been assessed for this new-build and will be confirmed once the property is registered with the catastro. A refuse collection charge (basura) may also apply; the amount is set by Estepona town hall.
How can I arrange a viewing?
You can book an in-person visit through the OceanHome sales team. If you are based outside Spain, a live video viewing via WhatsApp or video call is available at a time convenient to you. Contact us to schedule either option.
Does this property have rental potential?
Valle Romano sits within the Estepona municipality, which is a recognised tourist area on the Costa del Sol. New-build apartments with 2 parking spaces and communal pool access are in steady demand for short-term holiday lets. You will need a regional tourist licence (Vivienda con Fines Turísticos) from the Junta de Andalucía before letting the property. We recommend speaking to a local property manager for realistic occupancy and income projections.
What steps are involved in buying this apartment?
First, obtain a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which is required for all property transactions. Once you have agreed the price, a reservation deposit (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 a further deposit of around 10% is usually paid. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the remaining balance, IVA, and associated costs are settled. We strongly recommend instructing an independent Spanish solicitor throughout the process.
