About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with private pool in Estepona, Costa del Sol. This new-build residence, completed in 2026, centres on a 37-square-metre terrace that overlooks the communal swimming pools and extends the 80 square metres of interior living space into a substantial outdoor room for year-round Mediterranean living.
Inside, the open-plan kitchen incorporates a central island that connects cooking and dining areas without visual barriers. Both bedrooms are doubles, each served by its own bathroom, and the living room opens directly onto the terrace through floor-to-ceiling glass. The apartment arrives unfurnished, allowing buyers to configure the space to their own requirements. Contemporary finishes throughout include integrated appliances, neutral tiling, and concealed air conditioning units that maintain clean sightlines across the principal rooms.
The development sits in a residential district of western Estepona, 2.3 kilometres from Playa del Padrón and a seven-minute drive from the town's historic centre. Local amenities including supermarkets and medical services lie within 800 metres, whilst the AP-7 motorway provides connections to Marbella in 25 minutes and Málaga airport in 50 minutes. The complex itself features multiple swimming pools and landscaped communal gardens that buffer the apartments from the surrounding streets.

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.
