Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for on top of the asking price?
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. These rates are set by the Autonomous Community of Andalucía. In addition, allow for notary fees of approximately EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of approximately EUR 400–800, and solicitor or 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 — so it is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage on this property as a non-resident?
Non-resident buyers in Spain can typically obtain a mortgage, though lenders generally require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates for non-residents tend to fall in the range of 3.5–4.5%, though this varies by lender and applicant profile. We can refer you to independent mortgage brokers with experience in Spanish property finance.
What are the ongoing running costs for this villa?
Community fees for this development are currently zero. Annual IBI (council tax) and basura (refuse collection) figures have not yet been confirmed by the vendor — please ask the agent for the latest information before proceeding. As an owner, you will also be responsible for utility contracts, building insurance, and general maintenance of the private pool and garden.
How can I arrange a viewing?
Viewings can be arranged in person at the development in Whater Gardens, Estepona. If you are unable to travel, we can arrange a live video viewing via video call, walking you through the property and the plot in real time. Contact our Estepona office to schedule either option at a time that suits you.
What is the rental potential for this villa?
Estepona is an established coastal destination on the Costa del Sol with consistent demand for short-term holiday rentals, particularly for larger villas with private pools. Properties of this size, with four en-suite bedrooms and outdoor entertaining space, tend to perform well across the summer season and increasingly in shoulder months. A tourist rental licence (Vivienda con Fines Turísticos) is required in Andalucía and must be applied for through the Junta de Andalucía. We recommend taking independent advice on achievable occupancy and rates before making investment projections.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which can be obtained via a Spanish consulate or in person at a local police station in Spain. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation contract is signed and a reservation deposit paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point a further deposit — typically 10% of the purchase price — is paid. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, at which point the remaining balance and all purchase taxes are settled. Independent legal representation is strongly advised throughout.
