Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs apply to this villa?
As a new build in Andalucía, this purchase carries IVA (VAT) at 10% of the purchase price plus AJD stamp duty at 1.2% of the purchase price. ITP does not apply. Notary fees typically range from EUR 600 to EUR 1,200, land registry fees from EUR 400 to EUR 800, and legal fees are generally 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 budget.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Non-resident buyers can typically obtain a mortgage from a Spanish bank, though lenders generally require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Variable and fixed interest rates are currently in the 3.5–4.5% range, depending on the lender and the buyer's financial profile. A mortgage broker with Spanish market experience is advisable.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees for this property are nil. IBI (annual property tax) and basura (rubbish collection charge) figures are not yet confirmed for this new-build and should be requested directly from the agent. Budget for building insurance and any utility standing charges once services are connected.
Can I view this property remotely?
Yes. The agent can arrange a live video viewing via WhatsApp or video call at a time that suits you. A pre-recorded video tour may also be available on request. In-person viewings can be booked through the OceanHome team.
Does this villa have rental potential?
Whater Gardens sits within Estepona's western residential area, which attracts steady holiday rental demand given its proximity to the coast and Málaga airport. Short-term letting is subject to registration with Andalucía's tourism registry and local licensing requirements. A specialist letting agent can provide realistic seasonal occupancy and income estimates based on comparable local properties.
What is the purchase process for buyers new to Spain?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE (tax identification number), which can be obtained via a Spanish consulate in your country or in person in Spain. Once you have agreed a price, a reservation deposit is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point typically 10% of the purchase price is paid. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the balance is transferred and title deeds are signed. Legal representation from an independent Spanish solicitor is strongly recommended throughout.
