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 autonomous region of Andalucía. ITP does not apply to new-build purchases. In addition, budget for notary fees of approximately EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of 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 the region's conditions — for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers can typically access a mortgage of up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is generally required. Current indicative mortgage rates in Spain sit in the range of 3.5–4.5%, though terms vary by lender and applicant profile. We recommend speaking with a Spanish mortgage broker early in the process.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently listed at nil for this development. Annual IBI (council tax) and basura (waste collection) figures have not yet been confirmed for this new-build; these will be established once the property is registered. We recommend asking the agent for the latest information from the developer before exchange.
Can I view the property remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who are unable to travel to Estepona in person. Contact us to arrange a live video walkthrough of the show unit or available plots within the Zona Las Mesas development, or to request pre-recorded footage.
Is this property suitable as a rental investment?
Estepona is an active short-term and holiday rental market on the Costa del Sol, and Zona Las Mesas benefits from proximity to the beach and town centre. New-build apartments of this size and specification are in demand from seasonal visitors. A tourist rental licence will be required to let the property legally; your legal adviser can guide you through the application process. We do not quote yield projections, as these depend on occupancy rates and management costs that vary by operator.
What steps are involved in buying this property?
First, obtain a Spanish NIE (foreigner identification number), which is required for all property transactions. Once you have agreed the purchase, a reservation fee is typically paid to take the property off the market, followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa) in which a further deposit — commonly 10% of the purchase price — is paid. For new builds, stage payments during construction may apply. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the balance is transferred and keys are handed over. Independent legal representation throughout is strongly recommended.
