About this property
Overview
San Lorenzo 52 offers four two-bedroom middle floor apartments in central Estepona, each with 78 square metres of interior space and between 7 and 16 square metres of terrace. The homes include two and a half bathrooms and at least one terrace, with sea views available from some units. The layouts are efficient, designed to make the most of the compact footprint while keeping living spaces and bedrooms comfortably separated.
The building sits 581 metres from La Rada beach, a seven-minute walk or one-minute drive. Carrefour Market is two minutes on foot for everyday shopping, and Estepona town centre is five minutes by car. The location is convenient for families, with Colegio de Educación Primaria Víctor de la Serna 130 metres away. Golfers have Azata Golf 11 minutes by car, and the airport at Gibraltar is 43 minutes. The setting is residential but urban, in a part of Estepona where new pedestrian streets and public squares are being built to connect Avenida San Lorenzo, Avenida España and the promenade.
This suits buyers who want a walk-to-beach address with town amenities close by, particularly families who value school proximity and daily shopping within reach. The middle floor position keeps you above street level without the climb of a penthouse. The drawback is that with only four apartments in the building, choice is limited and what is available may not match the exact terrace size or view you want. The small number also means the building lacks a communal pool or gym, so you get the location and the home itself, not shared facilities.

San Lorenzo 52: Frequently Asked Questions
How far is the beach from San Lorenzo 52?
La Rada beach is 581 metres away, a seven-minute walk or one minute by car. That distance makes it genuinely walkable for most buyers, though you may prefer to drive if carrying beach kit or returning in the midday heat. The route is flat and the promenade runs the length of the coast once you reach it.
What size are the apartments?
Each apartment has 78 square metres of interior space with two bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms. Terrace size varies from 7 to 16 square metres depending on the unit. The layouts separate living areas from bedrooms efficiently, so the compact footprint does not feel cramped in use.
What amenities are within walking distance?
A supermarket is 200 metres from the building, reachable in two minutes on foot. Colegio de Educación Primaria Víctor de la Serna is 130 metres away, making the school run a walk rather than a drive. The beach is seven minutes, and the promenade gives you cafés and beach bars once you reach the seafront. Most other amenities, including the town centre, need a car.
Do the apartments have sea views?
Some units have sea views and others face the surrounding streets. The building sits in central Estepona, so urban views are common across the development. Which apartments offer which outlook depends on availability, and the listing photographs show what each unit sees.
How far is Gibraltar Airport?
Gibraltar Airport is 35 kilometres away, a 43-minute drive under normal traffic. That makes it the closest international airport to Estepona and suits lock-up-and-leave use, though flight options are more limited than Málaga. The route is straightforward, mostly motorway, with the final approach through La Línea de la Concepción before crossing into Gibraltar.
How does buying off-plan work in Spain?
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.
Are my deposits protected if the developer goes bust?
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.
What building guarantees come with a new-build?
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.
What taxes apply to new-build property in Spain?
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.
Can I customise finishes and layout before completion?
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.
How long will construction take?
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.
What should I check before signing an off-plan contract?
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.
Do I need a NIE and Spanish bank account to buy off-plan?
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.
Can non-residents get a Spanish mortgage?
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.
Should I get pre-approval before viewing?
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.
What taxes will I pay buying a property in Estepona?
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.
What ongoing costs should I expect?
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.
Are agent fees paid by the buyer or seller?
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.
