Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for beyond 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%, set by the Autonomous Community of Andalucía. ITP does not apply. Additional costs typically include notary fees (EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (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 — and are worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers in Spain typically need a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price, as Spanish lenders generally finance up to 60–70% for non-residents. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish banks range broadly between 3.5% and 4.5%, though your individual rate will depend on your financial profile and the lender. We can refer you to independent mortgage brokers with experience in cross-border lending.
What are the ongoing running costs for this villa?
Community fees for this property are nil. IBI (annual property tax) figures are not yet established for this new-build and should be confirmed with the agent before exchange. Basura (local waste collection charge) is also to be confirmed. Utility connections and ongoing consumption costs will vary with usage.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who cannot visit in person straight away. Our agents can conduct a live video walkthrough of the show unit or the plot and development, and we can provide supplementary video materials of the build and surrounding area. In-person viewings in Whater Gardens, Estepona can be arranged at short notice.
What is the rental potential for a villa in Whater Gardens?
Whater Gardens is within Estepona's established tourist corridor on the Costa del Sol, and villas with private pools in this area attract demand from both short-term holiday lettings and longer-term seasonal rentals. A local licenced rental management company can advise on occupancy projections and licensing requirements under Andalucía's tourist rental regulations before you commit.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation fee is paid to secure the property and remove it from the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point a further deposit is typically paid. The balance is settled at the notary on the completion date, when title transfers formally into your name. We recommend instructing an independent Spanish solicitor from the outset.
