Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the EUR 620,000 asking price?
As a new-build property in Andalusia, VAT (IVA) applies at 10%, which adds EUR 62,000 to the purchase price. On top of that, you should budget for notary fees of EUR 600 to 1,200, land registry fees of EUR 400 to 800, and legal fees of approximately 1% of the purchase price plus VAT (around EUR 7,440 including VAT). Total additional costs are typically in the region of EUR 70,000 to 72,000.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Yes. Spanish banks typically lend non-residents up to 60 to 70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30 to 40% is required. On a purchase price of EUR 620,000, that equates to a deposit of EUR 186,000 to EUR 248,000. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%. Your legal representative can recommend mortgage brokers familiar with non-resident applications.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are listed at EUR 0 per month, though buyers should verify this directly with the developer before signing any contracts, as this figure may change once the complex is fully operational. No IBI (annual council tax) figure is currently available and your solicitor can obtain the applicable rate from Estepona Town Hall once the property is registered. Utility contracts for water and electricity will need to be set up upon completion.
Can I view this apartment remotely before travelling to Estepona?
Yes. OceanHome offers video viewings for buyers who are unable to travel. We can arrange a live video call tour of the development and show you the surrounding Las Mesas area. To book a remote or in-person viewing, contact us directly and we will confirm a time that suits you.
Is this apartment suitable as a rental investment?
Estepona is a popular destination on the Costa del Sol, and Las Mesas benefits from proximity to the beach and the town centre, which supports both long-term and short-term rental demand. A tourist rental licence (Vivienda con Fines Turísticos) is required for short-term lettings in Andalusia. OceanHome can connect you with a local property management company to discuss realistic occupancy expectations for this area.
What steps are involved in purchasing this property?
First, you will need a Spanish fiscal identification number (NIE), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once you have agreed the purchase, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit of around EUR 6,000 to 10,000 is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point typically 10% of the price is paid. For new-build properties, stage payments may apply during construction. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, at which point the balance is transferred and the title deed (escritura) is signed and registered.
