About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with sea views in Estepona, Costa del Sol. This top-floor residence includes a 50-square-metre private rooftop solarium, turning what would typically be shared roof space into an exclusive outdoor retreat with uninterrupted coastal perspectives. Built in 2021 and sold fully furnished, the apartment delivers immediate rental income potential with a tourist licence already in place.
The 82-square-metre interior opens onto a 60-square-metre terrace, effectively doubling the usable living space. Two bathrooms serve the two bedrooms, both finished to a standard that reflects the property's recent construction. The kitchen comes equipped and integrated into an open-plan layout that extends naturally onto the terrace. One underground parking space is included, along with access to the development's communal pool. The rooftop solarium functions as a second outdoor zone, positioned above neighbouring properties to capture sea views without obstruction.
Serenity Collection sits in west Estepona, where coastal access and town amenities converge within a ten-minute drive. The development occupies a position between the beach and the town centre, placing Estepona's old quarter and its marina roughly four kilometres to the east. The A7 coastal road runs nearby, connecting the property to Marbella in twenty minutes and Gibraltar Airport in under an hour. The complex itself maintains landscaped communal areas and the pool sits within gated grounds. West Estepona continues to expand with new infrastructure, yet this section retains lower-density residential character compared to developments closer to Puerto Banús.

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.
