About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom townhouse with beachfront position in Estepona, Costa del Sol. This 2025-built property stands just 80 metres from the shore, placing the Mediterranean within a one-minute walk. The ground floor opens onto a living and dining area with an open-plan kitchen fitted with Bosch appliances and an induction hob, whilst a wine cooler provides dedicated storage for collectors.
Across 101 square metres of built space, the layout spans three floors. Two bedrooms occupy the first level, each served by contemporary bathrooms finished to modern specifications. The second floor delivers a 21-square-metre rooftop solarium with unobstructed sky access, offering year-round outdoor living without shared walls. Furniture comes as an optional inclusion, allowing immediate occupation or personalised specification. The property combines traditional Andalusian architectural elements with 2025 construction standards, resulting in period character without the maintenance burden of older stock.
The townhouse sits within Estepona's Old Town, where cobbled streets meet the Paseo Marítimo promenade 80 metres to the south. Plaza de las Flores lies a three-minute walk inland, surrounded by tapas bars and weekend markets. The beachfront location provides direct access to the coastal path connecting Estepona Marina 1.2 kilometres west with the town's eastern beaches, all navigable on foot or bicycle. Morning swims require no vehicle, and the promenade's restaurant strip operates within immediate walking radius throughout summer and winter seasons.

Buying this townhouse 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.
