Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs for this new-build 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%. ITP does not apply. Additional costs typically include notary fees (EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (EUR 400–800), and legal fees at approximately 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 non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Non-resident buyers in Spain can typically borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Current indicative mortgage rates in Spain range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%, though your personal rate will depend on your financial profile and chosen lender. We recommend taking independent mortgage advice before making an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees for this property are currently listed as nil. The annual IBI (council tax) and basura (refuse) charges have not yet been confirmed for this new build and should be requested directly from the agent or developer before exchange. Budget for these costs when assessing total annual outgoings.
Can I arrange a viewing, and is a video viewing available?
Yes. In-person viewings can be arranged through OceanHome at a time that suits you. If you are not currently in Spain, we can also arrange a live video viewing, allowing you to walk through the property remotely with one of our agents and ask questions in real time. Contact us to book either option.
Does this villa have rental potential?
Estepona is a popular destination on the Costa del Sol, and new-build villas of this size and specification in residential developments can attract both short-term holiday lets and longer-term rental interest. A tourist licence would be required for short-term lets in Andalucía. We recommend speaking to a local rental management company to get an accurate assessment of likely demand and achievable rents for this specific property.
What is the process for purchasing a property in Spain?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is required for any property transaction. Once your offer is accepted, a reservation contract is signed and a deposit paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point a further percentage of the purchase price is paid. The transaction completes at a Spanish notary, where the title deed (escritura) is signed and the balance transferred. We strongly recommend appointing an independent Spanish-qualified solicitor to act on your behalf throughout.
