Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs apply to this property?
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 Andalucía autonomous region. ITP does not apply. Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet the region's conditions — for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — so it is worth checking before you budget. In addition, allow roughly EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for land registry fees, and around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT for legal representation.
Can I get a mortgage in Spain as a non-resident?
Non-resident buyers typically need a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price, as Spanish lenders generally offer a maximum loan-to-value of 60–70% for non-residents. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though individual offers vary by lender and applicant profile. You will also need a Spanish NIE number before a mortgage can be arranged.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees for this development are currently recorded as zero. IBI (annual property rates) and basura (waste collection charge) figures are not yet available for this new build and should be confirmed with the developer or local town hall before exchange. Your solicitor can request these details during due diligence.
Can I view the property remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who cannot travel to Estepona straight away. A member of the team can walk you through the apartment and the communal areas live via video call, and we can arrange an in-person visit to Zona Las Mesas at a time that suits you.
Does this apartment have rental potential?
Estepona is an established tourist destination on the Costa del Sol, and the Zona Las Mesas location, with Málaga Airport approximately 20 minutes away, makes short-term letting a realistic option. Rental income depends on occupancy, pricing strategy and the level of management in place. You will need a valid Andalucía tourist licence before letting legally, and the development's community rules should also be checked for any restrictions on short-term rentals.
What is the purchase process for buying in Spain?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once you have agreed a price, a reservation fee is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (contrato de arras), at which point a further deposit, typically 10% of the agreed price, becomes payable. The balance is settled at the notary on completion, when the title deed (escritura pública) is signed and ownership is formally transferred. Engaging an independent Spanish solicitor from the outset is strongly recommended.
