About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with beachfront position in Estepona, Costa del Sol. Direct beach access means stepping from manicured tropical gardens onto the sand in under a minute, with the Mediterranean stretching out before you from the moment you open the front door. Each of the two bedrooms opens onto its own private terrace section, creating separate outdoor zones for guests or quiet mornings away from the main living space.
The 153 square metres of built space includes an open-plan living area that flows onto a 35-square-metre terrace where sea views extend across the coastline. Two full bathrooms serve the two bedrooms, with a third guest toilet positioned near the living zone. The apartment comes fully furnished to an excellent standard, eliminating the need for sourcing coastal-appropriate pieces or coordinating Mediterranean interiors. One underground parking space and a dedicated storage room are included, both accessed within the secure perimeter of the building.
Los Granados del Mar operates as a gated beachfront residence with 24-hour security, outdoor and indoor swimming pools, a residents' gym, and landscaped gardens that run down to the sand. Estepona's marina lies 2 kilometres west along the promenade, reachable on foot in 25 minutes or by car in under five. The complex sits within walking distance of beachfront chiringuitos and the coastal path that connects central Estepona to the western developments, with the old town's Plaza de las Flores a ten-minute drive inland.

9 questions answered
Buying this apartment in Estepona
Can foreigners buy property in Estepona?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Estepona. You will need a Spanish NIE (foreigner tax number) before signing the title deed, plus a Spanish bank account for the transfer. The full purchase typically completes 6 to 10 weeks from signing the reservation contract.
What is an NIE and how do I get one?
The NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) is your Spanish tax ID and is mandatory for buying property, opening a bank account or paying taxes. You can apply at a Spanish consulate in your home country or in person in Spain. Your lawyer can also obtain it on your behalf with a power of attorney, typically 2 to 4 weeks.
Do I need a Spanish lawyer?
Strongly recommended. An independent lawyer (abogado), separate from the agent and seller, verifies title, checks for debts and planning issues, drafts contracts and represents you at the notary. Typical fee is 1% of the purchase price plus VAT, with a minimum around €1,500.
How long does completion take?
From accepted offer to keys: 6 to 10 weeks for a resale, 30 to 45 days from reservation if no mortgage is needed. New-build off-plan completes when the development is delivered, often 18 to 36 months after reservation, with staged payments along the way.
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.
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.
