Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the asking price?
As a new build in Andalusia, you pay IVA at 10% (EUR 46,400) rather than transfer tax. On top of that, budget for notary fees (EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (EUR 400–800), and legal fees of roughly 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (approximately EUR 4,640 + VAT). Total additional costs typically come to around 12–13% of the price.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident?
Yes. Spanish banks typically lend non-residents up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation, whichever is lower, meaning you would need a deposit of 30–40%. On EUR 464,000 that equates to EUR 139,200–185,600. Current variable and fixed rates from Spanish lenders are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though terms vary by lender and applicant profile.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently registered at EUR 0. The annual IBI (council tax) figure has not yet been set by the local authority for this new development. You should also allow for contents insurance, utility standing charges, and annual rubbish collection tax (basura), which has not yet been confirmed.
Can I view the property remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp, FaceTime, or Zoom for buyers who cannot travel to Estepona immediately. We can also arrange an in-person visit to the Zona Las Mesas development site or the show apartment. Contact us to book a time that suits you.
What is the rental potential in this area?
Estepona is a licensed tourist destination on the Costa del Sol, and properties in Zona Las Mesas, being 1km from the beach, can qualify for a holiday rental licence (Vivienda con Fines Turísticos) through the Junta de Andalucía. Seasonal demand is strong from spring through to autumn. We recommend speaking to a local rental management agency for realistic occupancy and income figures specific to this development.
How does the purchase process work in Spain?
First, you obtain an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is required for all property transactions in Spain. You then pay a reservation fee to take the property off the market, followed by a private purchase contract (contrato de arras) where typically 10% of the price is paid and both parties are contractually bound. The remaining balance is paid at the notary on the day of completion, when the title deed (escritura pública) is signed and ownership transfers to you.
