Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the asking price?
As this is a new-build property, you pay IVA at 10% instead of transfer tax, which equals EUR 240,000 on the EUR 2,400,000 asking price. On top of that, budget approximately EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for land registry registration, and around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (currently 21%) for legal representation. Total additional costs typically run to around 12–13% of the price.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage for this property?
Yes. Spanish banks generally lend non-residents up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation, whichever is lower, meaning a deposit of around 30–40% is usually required. On a purchase price of EUR 2,400,000 that equates to a deposit of roughly EUR 720,000–960,000. Variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain currently range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5% annually, though exact terms depend on the lender and your personal financial profile.
What are the ongoing running costs for this villa?
Community fees are currently EUR 0 per year. The annual IBI (local property tax) has not yet been set by the local authority for this new-build. Basura (refuse collection) charges have also not been confirmed. Utility connections, home insurance, and general maintenance costs for a villa of 581 m2 on a 985 m2 plot should be factored into your annual budget.
How can I arrange a viewing?
You can request an in-person viewing through our Estepona office at a time that suits you. If you are based outside Spain, we also offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call, during which one of our agents walks through the property and plot in real time. Contact us to book either option.
What is the rental potential for this villa?
Estepona is a recognised tourist municipality on the Costa del Sol, and 4-bedroom villas of this scale are in demand for both short-term holiday lets and longer residential rentals. To obtain a tourist rental licence you will need to register with the Junta de Andalucía. Our property management team can provide guidance on the licensing process and local demand. We do not publish estimated yield figures.
What does the purchase process involve?
The first step is obtaining a Spanish NIE number (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is required for all property transactions. Once you agree terms, a reservation fee is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (contrato de arras), at which point typically 10% of the price is paid and both parties are legally committed. The remaining balance is settled at the notary on completion, when the title deed (escritura) is signed and ownership transfers to you.
