Frequently Asked Questions
What are the estimated purchase costs for this penthouse?
As a new-build in Malaga province, VAT (IVA) applies at 10% of the purchase price, which amounts to EUR 55,600 on EUR 556,000. Additional costs include notary fees of approximately EUR 600 to EUR 1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400 to EUR 800, and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (roughly EUR 5,560 plus VAT). Total purchase costs are typically 12 to 14% above the asking price.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers can generally obtain a Spanish mortgage for up to 60 to 70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30 to 40% is usually required. On EUR 556,000 that equates to a deposit of between EUR 166,800 and EUR 222,400. Current variable and fixed rates from Spanish lenders range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5% annually, though individual terms vary by lender and buyer profile.
What are the ongoing running costs for this property?
Community fees are currently set at EUR 0. IBI (annual council tax) has not yet been assessed for this new-build and will be confirmed once the property receives its catastral reference. Basura (refuse collection) charges have also not yet been confirmed. We recommend budgeting for these costs once the development is completed and figures are formalised.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who cannot travel to Estepona in person. Our agents can conduct a live video walkthrough of the show unit or available plots within the development. To book an in-person or video viewing, contact our Estepona office directly.
Is this property suitable as a rental investment?
Estepona is a year-round coastal destination on the Costa del Sol, with demand from both long-term tenants and short-stay visitors. Properties in Zona Las Mesas benefit from proximity to the town centre and the beach at Playa de la Rada. A tourist rental licence would be required for short-term letting in Andalusia. We recommend consulting a local property manager for current occupancy data before purchase.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which can be obtained at a Spanish consulate or locally with legal assistance. Once agreed, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit paid, typically EUR 3,000 to EUR 6,000. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), where usually 10% of the purchase price is paid. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the remaining balance and taxes are settled and the keys are handed over.
