About this property

Overview

Habitat Valle Romano - KEY READY is a new development of 3 to 4-bedroom ground floor apartments for sale in Estepona, Costa del Sol, priced from €385,000 to €566,000. The project is complete and ready for immediate occupation, which removes construction risk and allows buyers to secure a finished property at a price point approximately 15–20% below comparable new builds in central Estepona. The 115-unit scheme was designed by Alberro Arquitectos and sits within a gated community that includes facilities more commonly associated with larger resort developments. All ground floor units include private gardens, a feature that appeals to buyers with young children or dogs and typically commands a premium over equivalent first-floor apartments.

Built sizes range from 94 to 118 m² across the 3 and 4-bedroom configurations, with two bathrooms standard across all layouts. Each apartment includes a storage room and south-facing orientation designed to maximise natural light throughout the day. The communal areas cover two swimming pools (one for adults, one for children), a gym, a social club space, a coworking area, a children's playground, a pétanque court, and jogging routes through landscaped gardens. The development prioritises energy efficiency through systems integrated during construction, though specific certifications should be confirmed with the developer. Terraces are described as generous, with exact dimensions varying by unit type and position within the scheme.

Marbella's town centre is 10 minutes by car via the A-7 coastal motorway, while Málaga airport lies 45 minutes east along the same route. Estepona has become a primary residence location for Northern European families seeking year-round schooling (several international schools operate within a 15-minute radius) and for semi-retired buyers who value the town's functioning Spanish character over the more transient feel of Marbella or Benahavís. The Valle Romano area sits inland from Estepona's beachfront, which means no sea views from ground level but also means lower purchase prices and larger plot allocations. The immediate surroundings include Valle Romano Golf Club, which gives the development its name, plus supermarkets, medical centres, and a growing selection of restaurants that cater to the area's mixed Spanish and international population.

These apartments are complete and available for immediate purchase. Spanish new build transactions typically require a reservation deposit to secure the unit, followed by the balance payment on signing the title deed before a notary, though buyers should confirm the exact structure with the developer's sales team. Independent legal representation is strongly recommended to review the community statutes, confirm what charges apply from completion, and ensure the property is registered correctly with all utilities connected. Ground floor units with private gardens incur higher community fees than upper-floor apartments due to the additional maintenance obligations, so request a breakdown of annual costs before committing.

Habitat Valle Romano - KEY READY: Frequently Asked Questions

The price range of €385,000 to €566,000 at Habitat Valle Romano includes the apartment itself, a private garage, and access to either a private or communal pool depending on your unit. All ground floor apartments come with a private garden, which is a significant feature for beachside living in Estepona.

Habitat Valle Romano is situated on the beachside of Estepona on the Costa del Sol, offering direct access to the coast. The south-facing orientation means your apartment at Habitat Valle Romano will receive excellent natural light and sea views throughout the day.

Habitat Valle Romano offers ground floor apartments ranging from 3 to 4 bedrooms with built sizes between 94 and 118 square metres. The larger 4-bedroom units at the higher end of the €566,000 price point provide more space while maintaining the same beachside benefits.

Yes, all units at Habitat Valle Romano feature sea views thanks to the beachside location and south-facing orientation. Combined with the private garden on each ground floor apartment, this creates a direct connection to the coastal environment.

Habitat Valle Romano is expected to be key ready by the end of December 2025. This means you'll be able to move into your ground floor apartment with its private garden and sea views within the next year.

Buying off-plan in Estepona means reserving a property before or during construction. You pay a reservation deposit (typically €6,000 to €12,000), then sign a private purchase contract within 30 days and pay a further 10 to 20% of the purchase price. Staged payments follow the construction milestones. The final 60 to 70% is paid at notary completion when the keys are handed over.

Under Spanish law (Law 57/1968 and its 2015 successor), all off-plan deposits must be covered by a bank guarantee or insurance policy. Your lawyer must verify this before you pay any money. If the developer fails to deliver, you can claim 100% of your deposit plus 6% annual interest. Never transfer funds without a confirmed guarantee in your name.

Spanish law mandates three tiers: a 10-year structural guarantee (Seguro Decenal) for serious structural defects, a 3-year guarantee for habitability issues (waterproofing, insulation, installations), and a 1-year guarantee on finishes and fixtures. These run from the date the licence of first occupation (licencia de primera ocupación) is issued.

New-build purchases are subject to 10% IVA (VAT) on the purchase price, plus 1.2% AJD (stamp duty) in Andalucía. Parking spaces or storage sold separately may attract 21% IVA. Add notary, land registry and legal fees (1 to 2%), budget 12 to 15% on top of the purchase price in total acquisition costs.

Most developers allow personalisation during the early construction phase, choices of floor tiles, kitchen units, bathroom fixtures, paint colours and sometimes layout tweaks. The window for changes is typically 3 to 6 months after signing the contract. Structural changes are rarely possible once work has started. Your sales representative will provide a customisation deadline and specification sheet.

Typical build time in coastal Spain is 18 to 30 months from licence grant to completion. Delays of 3 to 6 months are common due to weather, supply-chain or permit issues. Your contract should specify a longstop completion date and the compensation you are owed for any overrun. Always check whether the building licence has already been granted before reserving.

Key due-diligence points: (1) confirm the building licence is granted, not just applied for; (2) verify all deposits are bank-guaranteed in your name; (3) check the developer's track record and financial standing; (4) review the specification sheet and what is included in the price; (5) confirm the estimated completion date and longstop clause; (6) have an independent Spanish lawyer review the contract before you sign anything.

Yes, both are required before the final notary signing. You can reserve with a passport, but your Spanish NIE (foreigner tax number) is needed for the private purchase contract and your Spanish bank account for the staged transfers. Your lawyer can obtain your NIE with a power of attorney in 2 to 4 weeks. Open the bank account on your first trip to Spain or remotely via certain Spanish banks.

Yes. Spanish banks lend to non-residents at typical LTVs of 60 to 70% of the lower of purchase price or valuation (vs 80% for residents). Rates are competitive with the rest of the eurozone. You will need 6 months of bank statements, tax returns and proof of income, pre-approval takes 2 to 4 weeks.

Recommended for serious buyers. A mortgage in principle confirms your budget, signals credibility to sellers and shortens completion. We can introduce you to specialist non-resident mortgage brokers familiar with the local market.

Resale property in Andalucía: ITP (transfer tax) at 7%. New-build: 10% IVA + 1.2% AJD (stamp duty). Plus notary, land registry and legal fees of roughly 1 to 2%. Budget 10 to 13% on top of the asking price for total acquisition costs.

Annual IBI (council tax) is typically 0.4 to 1.1% of cadastral value. Community fees on apartments and gated villas range €100 to €600/month depending on amenities. Non-resident owners pay an annual income tax based on cadastral value, plus utilities and home insurance.

In Spain the seller pays the agent commission (typically 3 to 6% + VAT), already baked into the asking price. Buyers do not pay agent fees on resale or new-build.
