About this property

Overview

Zenith Estepona is a gated complex of 40 apartments, offering one, two and three-bedroom homes between 64 and 113 square metres of interior space. Each apartment comes with a garage space and a storage room included. Terraces range from 22 to 134 square metres, a wide spread that reflects the mix of unit types. The larger terraces belong to ground-floor apartments with direct garden access, while upper floors have smaller private outdoor areas. Layouts are oriented east, south or west, so not every home gets the same light throughout the day. South-facing units enjoy sun for most of it, while east and west orientations suit buyers who prefer morning or afternoon exposure.

The communal areas include a swimming pool, landscaped gardens and a gym. These are standard features for a development of this kind on the Costa del Sol, but they reduce the need to leave the complex for daily exercise or a swim. The location between the AP-7 motorway and the sea puts you close to the beach without the noise of a beachfront road. You can walk to ALDI in six minutes and reach the Mediterranean almost as quickly. Direct motorway access makes longer journeys straightforward, and Gibraltar Airport is under an hour away.

This is a practical choice for families who need schools, shops and the coast within easy reach, and for holiday buyers who want a lock-up-and-leave apartment with on-site facilities. The one-bedroom units suit single buyers or couples, while the three-bedroom layouts work for small families. The smaller built sizes mean less space to furnish and lower running costs, but they also limit storage and room for guests. If you need a large living area or a second reception room, these apartments will feel tight.

Zenith Estepona: Frequently Asked Questions

La Rada beach is 1.6 kilometres away, about three minutes by car. That is too far to walk comfortably with beach kit, so you will need a car or bike for most trips to the sand. The development sits between the motorway and the sea, so you are close without the noise or the crowds of a beachfront block.

Interiors range from 64 to 113 square metres across one, two and three-bedroom layouts. The one-bedroom units are the smallest, while the three-bedroom apartments give you the most internal space. Terraces vary more widely, from 22 square metres on upper floors to 134 square metres on ground-floor homes with direct garden access.

ALDI is half a kilometre away, a six-minute walk for daily groceries. You are close to schools and the port as well, so families can manage some errands on foot. The beach is too far to walk regularly, and the motorway gives you direct access to the rest of the Costa del Sol by car.

Every apartment has a private terrace, but the size depends on the floor. Upper-floor terraces are smaller, starting at 22 square metres. Ground-floor units have much larger terraces, up to 134 square metres, with direct access to the communal gardens. You also share the pool and landscaped grounds with the rest of the complex.

Gibraltar Airport is 36 kilometres away, a 43-minute drive along the AP-7. That makes it the quickest option for short-haul European flights, and the direct motorway access means you avoid slower coast roads. Málaga Airport is farther but offers more destinations if you need them.

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.
