Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes 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% of the purchase price. ITP does not apply to new-build transactions. In addition, budget for notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically 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 this region's conditions — for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — and it is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Spanish banks typically lend non-residents up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation (whichever is lower), meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain are broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though the rate you are offered will depend on your financial profile and the lender. We can connect you with an independent mortgage broker familiar with non-resident applications.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are currently nil for this development. IBI (municipal property tax) has not yet been assessed, as this is a new build; the annual figure will be set by the local authority following completion and registration. A waste collection charge (basura) may also apply once the property is registered. We recommend confirming the full schedule of charges with the developer before exchange.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who cannot travel to Estepona immediately. A member of the team can walk you through the property in real time, including the solarium, communal areas, and surrounding streets in Zona Las Mesas. In-person viewings are available by appointment seven days a week.
Is this property suitable as a rental investment?
Estepona holds a tourist licence zone classification, and properties in Zona Las Mesas can in principle be let on short-term tourist rentals subject to obtaining the relevant Junta de Andalucía licence. Demand is supported by proximity to the Costa del Sol's golf courses, beaches, and Málaga Airport. We recommend speaking to a local letting agent for realistic occupancy and yield projections specific to this development, as figures vary considerably by property and management approach.
What steps are involved in buying this property?
First, obtain a Spanish NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) — this is required for any property purchase and can be arranged through a Spanish consulate or a local gestor. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation deposit is paid to secure the unit while legal checks are carried out. This is followed by a private purchase contract (contrato de arras or contrato privado) under which a larger deposit is paid, typically 10% of the purchase price. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, at which point the balance is paid and ownership is transferred. We recommend appointing an independent solicitor to act on your behalf throughout.
