About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom apartment with sea views in Estepona, Costa del Sol. This elevated residence in the Las Mesas area captures coastal panoramas from its 13sqm terrace, where the Mediterranean horizon stretches beyond the roofline. The single-level layout eliminates internal stairs, creating a horizontal flow that suits permanent living or holiday use equally well.
Inside, the 123sqm floor plan delivers a bright living and dining area that opens directly onto the terrace, three bedrooms arranged along a naturally lit corridor, and two full bathrooms finished to 2025 specifications. The open-plan social space connects kitchen, dining and lounge zones in one continuous room, whilst the principal bedroom claims its own en-suite. Every room benefits from floor-to-ceiling windows that pull southern light deep into the apartment. The property arrives fully furnished, with contemporary pieces selected to complement the neutral palette and modern joinery. One underground parking space and a storage unit complete the package.
Mesas Homes II sits opposite Las Mesas Park, a neighbourhood green space with children's play areas and walking paths that residents use for morning runs and evening strolls. Padel courts stand within a three-minute walk of the complex entrance, and the development's own facilities include a communal pool, gymnasium, and landscaped gardens maintained by the community. Estepona Marina lies 2.5 kilometres to the south, reachable in under five minutes by car, placing the Old Town's tapas bars, weekly market, and sand beaches within easy striking distance for weekends and daily errands.

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.
